Answer:
Specific heat of metal = 0.26 j/g.°C
Explanation:
Given data:
Mass of sample = 80.0 g
Initial temperature = 55.5 °C
Final temperature = 81.75 °C
Amount of heat absorbed = 540 j
Specific heat of metal = ?
Solution:
Specific heat capacity:
It is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of substance by one degree.
Formula:
Q = m.c. ΔT
Q = amount of heat absorbed or released
m = mass of given substance
c = specific heat capacity of substance
ΔT = change in temperature
ΔT = 81.75 °C - 55.5 °C
ΔT = 26.25 °C
540 j = 80 g × c × 26.25 °C
540 j = 2100 g.°C× c
540 j / 2100 g.°C = c
c = 0.26 j/g.°C
Answer:
Potential Energy
Explanation:
Right now, the match is giving off no energy to it's environment.
<em>Light</em><em> </em><em>it</em><em>.</em>
Now it's giving off a few kinds:
- Thermal energy (heat)
- Light energy
The match has the potential to have energy, but it currently has none.
Answer: Plaster of paris cast
Explanation:
Calcium sulphate,CaSO4, is a odourless, white powder or a colourless, crystallines solid.It exists in as different hydrates: anhydrous(CaSO4), dihydrate(CaSO4.2H2O) and hemihydrate(CaSO4. 1/2 H2O).
The main use of calcium sulphate,specifically in hospitals,is plaster of paris cast.The powdered form of CaSO4 can be formed into a moldable paste upon hydration.
This process is cellular respiration and occurs in all eukaryotes.
