Why is a silver spoon a good conductor

2 answers:

7 0

sliver spoon is a good conducter because it easily heats up. like for example, you put a sliver spoon in a bowl of hot soup and you hold it up and touch the spoon, it's really hot.

Because it’s made of metal. And metal is a good conductor

What is intermolecular forces and how is it related to phases of matter

MakcuM [25]

Intermolecular forces are forces that keep molecules together. For example, the forces between two water molecules. The stronger the intermolecular forces are, the more "solid" is the matter going to be, meaning that the intermolecular forces are the strongest in solids and weakest in gases.
Make sure not to confuse intERmolecular forces (forces between *molecules*) and intRAmolecular forces (forces between *atoms* that make up a molecule).

a hot piece of copper is placed in an insulated cup. what is the final temperature of the water and copper?

slavikrds [6]

Answer:

Option C. 30°C.

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Mass of water (Mw) = 0.5 Kg

Specific heat capacity of water (Cw) = 4.18 KJ/Kg°C

Initial temperature of water (Tw1) =

22°C

Change in temperature (ΔT) = T2 – Tw1 = T2 – 22°C

Mass of copper (Mc) = 0.5 Kg

Specific heat capacity of copper (Cc) = 0.386 KJ/kg°C

Initial temperature of copper (Tc1) = 115°C

Change in temperature (ΔT) = T2 – Tc1 = T2 – 115°C

Final temperature (T2) =..?

Note: Both the water and the piece copper will have the same final temperature and the heat will be zero since the water will cool the piece of copper.

Thus, we can determine the final temperature of the water and copper as follow:

Q = MwCwΔT + McCcΔT

0 = 0.5 x 4.18 x (T2 – 22) + 0.5 x 0.386 x (T2 – 115)

0 = 2.09 (T2 – 22) + 0.193 (T2 – 115)

0 = 2.09T2 – 45.98 + 0.193T2 – 22.195

Collect like terms

2.09T2 + 0.193T2 = 45.98 + 22.195

2.283T2 = 68.175

Divide both side by the coefficient of T2 i.e 2.283

T2 = 68.175/2.283

T2 = 29.8 ≈ 30°C

Therefore, the final temperature of water and copper is 30°C.

<h3>What is Potential and Kinetic energy?</h3>

Potential energy is the energy that is stored in any item or system as a result of its location or component arrangement. The environment outside of the object or system, such as air or height, has no impact on it. In contrast, kinetic energy refers to the energy of moving particles inside a system or an item.

mass of rod, mab = 2.4kg

mass of rod, mbc = 4kg

conservation of energy

$T_{1} + V_{1} = T_{2} + V_{2}$
