Answer:Reliability

Explanation:

Reliability of a test refers to how consistently a test measures a characteristic under the same conditions.

Reliability can be defined as the degree of consistency of which a chemical test gives a similar result. measure. A test is said to be highly reliable when it gives the same repeated result under the same conditions of measure.

But when a test gives different results under the same condition of measure it has a low reliability.

Hence, If a test yields consistent results every time it is used, it has a high degree of reliability.

A coffee-cup calorimeter contains 140.0 g of water at 25.1°C . A 124.0-g block of copper metal is heated to 100.4°C by putting i

Kisachek [45]

Answer:

(a) 3347 J; (b) 3043 J; (c) 58 J/K; (d) 35.5 °C

Explanation:

(a) Heat lost by copper

The formula for the heat lost or gained by a substance is

q =mCΔT

ΔT = T₂ - T₁= 30.3 °C - 100.4 °C = -70.1 °C = -70.1 K

q = 124.0 g × 0.385 J·K⁻¹g⁻¹ × (-70.1 K) = -3347 J

The negative sign shows that heat is lost.

The copper block has lost 3347 J.

(b) Heat gained by water

ΔT = 30.3 °C - 25.1 °C = 5.2 °C = 5.2 K

q = 140.0 g × 4.18 J·K⁻¹g⁻¹ × 5.2 K = 3043 J

The water has gained 3043 J.

(c) Heat capacity of calorimeter

Heat lost by Cu = heat gained by water + heat gained by calorimeter

The temperature change for the calorimeter is the same as that for the water.

ΔT = 5.2 K

$\begin{array}{rcl}\text{3347 J} & = & \text{3043 J} + C \times \text{5.2 K}\\\text{304 J} & = & 5.2C \text{ K}\\C & = & \dfrac{\text{304 J}}{\text{5.2 K}}\\\\& = & \text{58 J/K}\\\end{array}$

The heat capacity of the calorimeter is 58 J/K.

(d) Final temperature of water

$\begin{array}{rcl}\text{Heat lost by copper } + \text{Heat gained by water}& = &0 \\\text{Heat lost by copper}& = &-\text{Heat gained by water} \\m_{\text{Cu}}C_{\text{Cu}}\Delta T_{\text{Cu}}& = & -m_{\text{w}}C_{\text{w}}\Delta T_{\text{w}}\\\end{array}\\$

$\begin{array}{rcl}\text{124.0 g} \times \text{0.385 J$\cdot$K$^{-1}$g$^{-1}$}\times \Delta T_{\text{Cu}}& = & -\text{140.0 g} \times 4.18 \text{ J$\cdot$ K$^{-1}$g$^{-1}$}\times \Delta T_{\text{w}}\\\text{47.7 J$\cdot$K$^{-1}$}\times \Delta T_{\text{Cu}}& = &-\text{585 J$\cdot$ K$^{-1}$g}\times \Delta T_{\text{w}}\\\Delta T_{\text{Cu}} & = & -12.26\Delta T_{\text{w}}\\\end{array}$

$\begin{array}{rcl}\Delta T_{\text{f}} - 100.4 \, ^{\circ}\text{C} & = & -12.26(\Delta T_{\text{f}} - 30.3\, ^{\circ}\text{C})\\\Delta T_{\text{f}} - 100.4 \, ^{\circ}\text{C} & = & -12.26\Delta T_{\text{f}} + 371\, ^{\circ}\text{C}\\13.26\Delta T_{\text{f}} & = & 471\, ^{\circ}\text{C}\\\Delta T_{\text{f}} & = & 35.5\, ^{\circ}\text{C}\\\end{array}$

The final temperature of the water would be 35.5 °C.

Starting in the mouth, food follows a pathway through the digestive system. Describe how the mouth is involved in both mechanica

Rudiy27

Answer:

The mouth uses both mechanical and chemical digestion. Mechanical digestion involves physically breaking down the food into smaller pieces (using the jaw/teeth). However, chemical digestion then takes over and starts breaking down the food into simpler nutrients that can be used by the cells using saliva, which is naturally made within the mouth.

Hope this helps you! Have a great day! :D
