Answer: The heat required will be 58.604 kJ.

Explanation:

To calculate the amount of heat required, we use the formula:

$Q= m\times c\times \Delta T$

Q= heat gained or absorbed = ? J

m = mass of the substance = 100 g

c = heat capacity of water = 4.186 J/g ° C

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\Delta T={\text{Change in temperature}}=(393-253)K=140K=140^oC$

$Q=100g\times 4.186J/g^oC\times 140^oC$

Q = 58604 Joules = 58.604 kJ (Conversion factor: 1 kJ = 1000J)

Thus, heat released by 100 grams of ice is 58.604kJ.

How does the tilt of earth affect the climate?

masha68 [24]

The tilt of the earth provides the earth with seasons. As the earth revolved around the sun different portions (northern or Southern Hemisphere) is exposed more directly to the suns radiation, thus it is hotter in those regions. (Why the United States experiences winter in December but Australia experience summer in December.)

Thallium has two stable isotopes, 203tl and 205tl. knowing that the atomic weight of thallium is 204.4, which isotope is the mor

Elza [17]

You have to figure out a way to write the two unknown abundances in terms of one variable.

The total abundance is 1 (or 100%). So if you say the abundance for the first one is X then the abundance for the second one has to be 1-X (where X is the decimal of the percentage so say 0.8 for 80%).

203(X) + 205(1-X) = 204.4

Then you just solve for X to get the percentage for TI-203.
And then solve for 1-X to get the percentage for TI-205.

After that the higher percentage would be the most abundant.

203x + 205 - 205x = 204.4
-2x + 205 = 204.4
-2x = -0.6

x = 0.3
1-x = 0.7

Then the TI-205 would have the highest percentage and would be the most abundant.

Because copper is a metal, it is what?

oksano4ka [1.4K]

Copper is a mineral and an element essential to our everyday lives. It is a major industrial metal because of its high ductility, malleability, thermal and electrical conductivity and resistance to corrosion. It is an essential nutrient in our daily diet. And, its antimicrobial property is becoming increasingly important to the prevention of infection. It ranks third after iron and aluminum in terms of quantities consumed in the USA.

Explain Charles law

kodGreya [7K]

"Charles Law" is the relationship between "volume-temperature" (V ∝ T).

Explanation:

Charles Law is basically volume-temperature relationship (V ∝ T). French scientist “Jacques Charles” in 1787 studied effect of temperature on the volume of gases at constant pressure, which described how gases manage to expand when heated. Law stated as “At constant pressure, the volume of a given "mass" of a gas decreases or increases by 1/273 of its volume at $0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ for each one degree rise or fall in temperature”. Formula derived from law is as follows: $\mathbf{V}_{\mathbf{t}}=\mathbf{V}_{0}[\mathbf{1}+\mathbf{t} / \mathbf{2} 7 \mathbf{3}]$ here ${V}_{0}$ is volume of given mass of a gas at $0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ , ${V}_{t}$ is its volume at any temperature $t^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ . Application of Charles law is hot air balloons.
