Answer:

Iron

Explanation:

Heat released by the metal sample will be equivalent to the heat absorbed by  water.

But heat = mass × specific heat capacity × temperature change

Thus;

Heat released by the metal;

= 45.9 g × c ×(95.2 -24.5) , where c is the specific heat capacity of the metal

= 3245.13c joules

Heat absorbed by water;

= 120 g × 4.18 J/g°C × (24.5-21.6)

= 1454.64 joules

Therefore;

3245.13c joules = 1454.64 joules

c = 1454.64/3245.13

  = 0.448 J/g°C

The specific heat capacity of the  metal sample is 0.448 J/g°C. The metal use is most likely, Iron.

I need help what is s-1/3=7/9???? please help guys and thank you
nalin [4]

Answer:

10/9

Explanation:

First, let's convert 1/3 and 7/9 so that the have the same denominator. To do this let's find the least common multiple of 3 and 9.

List the multiples of 3 and 9:

3: 3, 9

9: 9

They have a least common multiple of 9

We need to convert 1/3 so it has a denominator of 9:

1/3*3/3 (we can multiply it by 3/3 because any number over itself is 1) = 3/9

s-3/9=7/9

Add 3/9 to both sides to isolate s

s=10/9

Calculate the density of an aluminum block with a volume of 100 cm3 and a mass of 270g.
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

<h2>2.7 g/cm³</h2>

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

density =  \frac{mass}{volume}  \\

From the question we have

density =  \frac{270}{100}  =  \frac{27}{10} \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>2.7 g/cm³</h3>

Hope this helps you
