In the experiment to measure specific heat of a metal, you get the following data. What is the specific heat of the metal in J/k

g.C?
(answer within +-3% will considered correct) MASSES: water= 259 g, metal=159 g, calorimeter=97 g INITIAL TEMPERATURES: water+calorimeter=21ºC, metal=98ºC Final equilibrium temp=31ºC Calorimeter is made of aluminum.

Answer:

c = 1,100 J/kgºC

Explanation:

Assuming that all materials involved, finally arrive to a final state of thermal equilibrium, and neglecting any heat exchange through the walls of the calorimeter, the heat gained by the system "water+calorimeter" must be equal to the one lost by the unknown metal.

The equation that states how much heat is needed to change the temperature of a body in contact with another one, is as follows:

Q = c * m* Δt

where m is the mass of the body, Δt is the change in temperature due to the external heat, and c is a proportionality constant, different for each material, called specific heat.

In our case, we can write the following equality:

(cAl * mal * Δtal) + (cH₂₀*mw* Δtw) = (cₓ*mₓ*Δtₓ)

Replacing by the givens , and taking cAl = 0.9 J/gºC, we have:

Qg= 0.9 J/gºC*97g*10ºC + 4.186 J/gºC*259g*10ºC = 11,715 J(1)

Ql = cₓ*159g*67ºC   (2)

Based on all the previous assumptions, we have:

Qg = Ql

So, we can solve for cx, as follows:

cx = 11,715 J / 159g*67ºC = 1.1 J/gºC (3)

Expressing (3) in J/kgºC:

1.1 J/gºC * (1,000g/1 kg) = 1,100 J/kgºC

At which type of boundary between two tectonic plates is an earthquake or a tsunami most likely to form?
Fofino [41]

Answer:

B. convergent boundary

Explanation:

Convergent boundaries, where ocean plates are subducted at trenches, produce the most tsunamis because they produce the largest earthquakes

Write the nuclear reaction equation for the beta decay of Iodine-131
den301095 [7]

Answer:

_{53}^{131}I \rightarrow _{54}^{131}Xe + e + \bar{\nu}

Explanation:

In a beta (minus) decay, a neutron in a nucleus turns into a proton, emitting a fast-moving electron (called beta particle) alongside with an antineutrino.

The general equation for a beta decay is:

^A_Z X \rightarrow _{Z+1}^AY+^0_{-1}e+ ^0_0\bar{\nu} (1)

where

X is the original nucleus

Y is the daughter nucleus

e is the electron

\bar{\nu} is the antineutrino

We observe that:

  • The mass number (A), which is the sum of protons and neutrons in the nucleus, remains the same in the decay
  • The atomic number (Z), which is the number of protons in the nucleus, increases by 1 unit

In this problem, the original nucles that we are considering is iodine-131, which is

_{53}^{131}I

where

Z = 53 (atomic number of iodine)

A = 131 (mass number)

Using the rule for the general equation (1), the dauther nucleus must have same mass number (131) and atomic number increased by 1 (54, which corresponds to Xenon, Xe), therefore the equation will be:

_{53}^{131}I \rightarrow _{54}^{131}Xe + e + \bar{\nu}

How is alternating current generated?
Viefleur [7K]
AC can be produced using a device called an alternator. This device is a special type of electrical generator designed to produce alternating current. A loop of wire is spun inside of a magnetic field, which induces a current along the wire.
