A 45.9 g sample of a metal is heated to 95.2°c and then placed in a calorimeter containing 120.0 g of water (c = 4.18 j/g°c) at

21.6°c. the final temperature of the water is 24.5°c. which metal was used?

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.

PLEASE HELP ASAP!!!!! WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST!!!!
Akimi4 [234]

Explanation:

The magnet uses electromagnetic induction meaning it can be readily magnetized and demagnetized (using electricity) when required. When electricity is switched on, it becomes magnetized and lifts an object and when electricity is switched off, it loses magnetism and releases the object.

The magnetic is able to lift heavy objects because it has powerful conductor material (ferromagnetic iron) and the number of electromagnetic coils is many to induce a powerful magnetic force. The electric current, inducing the magnetism, is also powerful.
