Answer:

Yup! The answer is 50 J/g* °C

Explanation:

I also took the test but I know how to work out the problem for anyone who wants to know how to solve it.

Remember the formula q = m*C*ΔT

m = the mass in grams

C = the specific heat Capacity

ΔT = change in time

q = amount of energy

So, find out what was given and what we need to look for:

m = 40 g

C = ?

ΔT = we're heating up (the temperature increases) a chemical so it needs to be a positive number. 25 - 10 = 15 °C

q = 30000 Joules

Now, set up the equation:

q = m*C*ΔT

30000 = 40 * C * 15

Multiply 40 and 15 to get 600:

30000 = 600 * C

Divide both sides by 600 to get C by itself (plug this into your calculator):

30000/600 = 600 * C/600

You are left with 50 = C

Now, you just need to plug in the units to get B. 50 J/g* °C

I hope I helped clear up any confusion! :D

Read the following passage.
Archy [21]

Answer is: the discovery of sub atomic particles like electrons.

J. J. Thomson discovered the electron in 1897.  

His "plum pudding" model (1904) suggested: the electrons are embedded in the positive charge.  

With this model, he abandoned his earlier hypothesis (the atom was composed of immaterial vortices).  

J.J. Thomson placed two oppositely charged electric plates around the cathode ray. He did experiments using different metals as electrode materials and found that the properties of the cathode ray remained constant no matter what cathode material he used.

Tomson concluded that atoms are divisible and that the corpuscles are their building blocks (atoms are made up of smaller particles).

The main purpose of the muscular system is to ____
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer: B. Allow for movement

Explanation: Because the muscular system is composed of specialized cells called muscle fibers. Their predominant function is contractibility. Muscles, attached to bones or internal organs and blood vessels, are responsible for movement. Nearly all movement in the body is the result of muscle contraction.
