Answer:

-54 J

Explanation:

Here we have to use the specific heat equation,

Q = mc∆T

where Q is the heat, m is the mass, c is the specific heat capacity and ∆T is the change of temperature.  

Given,  

m = 12 g

c = 2.5 J/g⋅°C

∆T  = Tfinal - Tinitial = 36.7 °C - 38.5 °C  = -1.8 °C

Plugging the numbers in the specific heat equation,

Q =  12 g  x 2.5 J/g⋅°C x - 1.8 °C = -54 J

As heat is released Q has a negative sign. When heat is absorbed Q has a positive sign.

1. A gas expands and does p-v work on the surroundings equal to
azamat

The change in energy of the system : -63 J

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

279 J work

216 J heat

Required

The change in energy

Solution

Laws of thermodynamics 1

ΔU=Q+W

Rules :

  • receives heat, Q +  
  • releases heat, Q -  
  • work is done by a system, W -  
  • work is done on a system, W +  

a gas work on the surrounding : W =-279 J

a gas absorb heat from surrounding : Q = +216 J

Internal energy :

= -279+216

= -63 J

How can scientists determine what kind of atoms are in stars and nebulas?
statuscvo [17]
Each element absorbs light at specific wavelengths unique to that atom. When astronomers look at an object's spectrum, they can determine its composition based on these wavelengths.
Not sure if this is 100% but I hope it helps.

When performing dimensional analysis, we usually use conversion factors. What is a conversion factor?
lora16 [44]

Answer:

A conversion factor is a variable that transforms the dimension of one variable into the terms of another variable.

Explanation:

Let be x and y two variables with diferent dimensions (units), r is a conversion if transforms the dimension of one variable into the terms of the other variable. That is:

y = r\cdot x (1)

Where:

x - Input, [input unit]

y - Output, [output unit]

r - Conversion factor, [output unit] per [input unit]
