A calorimeter contains 124 g of water at 26.6°C. A block of metal with a mass of 26 g is heated to 95.8°C and then placed in the

water in the calorimeter. After sufficient time, the temperature of the water is measured and found to be 29.0°C. Calculate the heat capacity per gram of metal. Assume no heat is lost to the calorimeter or the surroundings.

Answer:

The heat capacity of the metal is 0.717 J/g°C

Explanation:

<u>Step 1: </u>Data given

Mass of water = 124.0 grams

Mass of metal = 26.0 grams

Temperature of water = 26.6 °C

Temperature of metal = 95.8 °C

Final temperature of the water = 29.0 °C

<u>Step 2</u>: Calculate heat capacity of metal

Qlost = -Q gained

Qmetal = -Qwater

Q = m*c*ΔT

⇒ with m = mass in grams

⇒ c= the heat capacity in J/g°C

⇒ ΔT = The change in temperature = T2 - T1 (in °C)

Qmetal = -Qwater

m(metal)*c(metal)*ΔT(metal) = -m(water)*c(water)*ΔT(water)

26 *c(metal) *(29-95.8) = -124 * 4.184 *(29-26.6)

-1736.8 * c(metal) = -1245.16

c(metal) = 0.717 J/g°C

The heat capacity of the metal is 0.717 J/g°C

C. Magma from venus mantle erupted as lava.

Explanation:

A volcano is a land form which results from the eruption of molten rocks (lava) on the surface. Volcanic rocks are a special type of igneous rock that forms when molten rock cools and solidifies on the surface.

For a planet like Venus which is presently not active and little to no movement occurs within the plates, the volcanisim must have occurred when the planet was relatively young and it must have been millions of years ago.

It is widely believed that Venus was geologically active in times past. Mantle generated lava must have solidified on the surface in times past to have formed the volcano.

Evaluating other options:

Impact of space objects on Venus would lead to the formation of a crater which is a depression on the surface. The rock would be mostly metamorphic.

If water was ever present in Venus, they would have produced sedimentary rocks instead. The erosive power of water is not high enough to cut through the crust. Also, water would not aid the formation of volcanoes.

Heat is not enough to from volcanoes. Other factors are also in play.
