Answer:

D

Explanation:

The amount of energy released or absorbed is equal the product of the mass, the specific heat capacity and the temperature change. The temperature change being the difference between the final and initial temperature.

Q = mc∆T

Q = heat energy (Joules, J) m = mass of a substance (kg) c = specific heat (units J/g∙K)

∆ is a symbol meaning "the change in" ∆T = change in temperature (Kelvins, K)

From the data provided in the question, we can deduce that:

Q = 16.7KJ = 16,700J

m = 225g

c = 1.74J/g.k

For the temperature, let the final temperature be f. This means our ∆T = f - 20

16,700 = 225 * 1.74 * (f - 20)

16700 = 391.5 (f - 20)

f - 20 = 16700/391.5

f - 20 = 42.7

f = 20 + 42.7 = 62.7

Complete each of the definitions with the appropriate phrase. Precision means that measurements are close to Accuracy means that
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer: Precision means that measurements are close to each other . Accuracy means that measurements are close to accepted value

Explanation:

Precision refers to the closeness of two or more measurements to each other.  

For Example: If we weigh a given substance five times and you get 5.0 kg each time. Then the measurement is very precise.

Accuracy refers to the closeness of a measured value to a standard or known value.

For Example: If the mass of a substance is 5.0 kg and one person weighed 4.9 kg and another person weighed 3.9 kg. Then, the weight measured by first person is more accurate.

Thus Precision means that measurements are close to each other . Accuracy means that measurements are close to accepted value.

Which of the conservationists discussed earlier in this unit is
Arte-miy333 [17]

The correct answer is A. The conservationist credited with founding the Wilderness Society is Bob Marshall.

Bob Marshall was an American forester, botanist, traveler, climber, writer and social activist who advocated the preservation of unspoiled wildlife.

 

He actively contributed to the development and adoption of environmental regulations prohibiting the construction of roads in vast federal specially protected natural areas. In 1935 he became one of the founders of the public environmental organization The Wilderness Society and its main sponsor.  

Today Bob Marshall is considered one of the main initiators of the wildlife movement in the United States. Several geographic features are named after him, including the Bob Marshall Wilderness Nature Reserve in Montana and the Marshall Mountain on the Adirondack Ridge.

How did the surface area of the metal strip expose to the solution affect the
frez [133]

Answer:

See explanation below

Explanation:

In an electrochemical cell, electricity is obtained by the gradual deterioration of the anode.

Hence, surface area of the metal will affect the length of time within which the electrochemical cell works.

The greater the surface area of the metal, the longer the electrochemical cell can function and the greater the quantity of electricity produced, hence the answer above.
