Answer:
The granite block transferred <u>4080 joules</u> of energy, and the mass of the water is <u>35.84 grams</u>.
Explanation:
The equation needed to answer both parts of the question is:
Q = mcΔT
In this equation,
-----> Q = energy/heat (J)
-----> m = mass (g)
-----> c = specific heat (J/g°C)
-----> ΔT = change in temperature (°C)
<u>Part #1:</u>
First, you need to find the energy transferred from granite block using the previous equation. You have been given the mass, specific heat, and change in temperature.
Q = ? J c = 0.795 J/g°C
m = 126.1 g ΔT = 92.6 °C - 51.9 °C = 40.7 °C
Q = mcΔT
Q = (126.1 g)(0.795 J/g°C)(40.7 )
Q = 4080
<u>Part #2:</u>
Secondly, using the energy calculated in Part #1, you need to calculate the mass of the water. You have calculated the energy transferred, and have been given the specific heat and change in temperature.
Q = 4080 J c = 4.186 J/g°C
m = ? g ΔT = 51.9 °C - 24.7 °C = 27.2 °C
Q = mcΔT
4080 J = m(4.186 J/g°C)(27.2 °C)
4080 J = m(113.8592)
35.84 = m
Your control group would be the batteries since you CONTROL what brand you're using, for which one lasts the longest...aren't you suppose to figure that out when you do the experiment?
I’m not 100% positive but quartz would make sense
The answer is sodium chloride
