Answer:
Option D. 230 J
Explanation:
We'll begin by calculating the temperature change of the iron. This can be obtained as follow:
Initial temperature (T₁) = 50 °C
Final temperature (T₂) = 75 °C
Change in temperature (ΔT) =?
ΔT = T₂ – T₁
ΔT = 75 – 50
ΔT = 25 °C
Thus, the temperature change of the iron is 25 °C.
Finally, we shall determine the amount of heat energy used. This can be obtained as follow:
Mass (M) = 20 g
Change in temperature (ΔT) = 25 °C
Specific heat capacity (C) = 0.46 J/gºC
Heat (Q) =?
Q = MCΔT
Q = 20 × 0.46 × 25
Q = 230 J
Thus, the amount of heat used was 230 J
Answer:-
Alpha decay
Explanation:-
Uranium 238 has atomic number 92 and mass number 238.
Thorium 234 has atomic number 90 and mass number 234.
So, the change in atomic number as uranium 238 disintegrates into thorium234 = 92 – 90 = 2
So, the change in mass number as uranium 238 disintegrates into thorium234= 238 – 234 = 4
We know that when an alpha particle is emitted, the mass number decreases by 4 and the atomic number decreases by 2.
So when an atom of uranium 238 undergoes radioactive decay to form an atom of thorium-234, alpha decay has occurred.
Answer:
44.8 g
Explanation:
Density = mass / Volume
Mass = density x Volume = 8.96x 5 = 44.8 g
The Law of Conservation of Mass<span> states that </span>matter <span>can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction.</span>
