You are given an unknown solid substance of mass 500 g and you want to estimate its specific heat. unfortunately, you don’t have

a thermometer handy. instead, you throw the substance into a bucket of boiling water and wait until its in equilibrium with the boiling water. you then remove the hot substance from the boiling water and put it into a beaker with 400 ml ethyl alcohol at room temperature. immediately after adding the hot substance into the beaker, the volume scale reads 430 ml. after a while, when the alcohol and the substance reach equilibrium, the volume scale reads 429 ml.
What is the specific heat of the substance?
Hint: Assume that no heat was neither lost during the transfer nor to the environment. You can neglect the mass of the beaker. Room temperature is approximately 20 deg C and the density of ethyl alcohol is 789 kg/m^3.

A) 385 J/(mol K)
B) 4,057 J/mol K)
C) 2,090 J/(mol K)
D) 449 J/(mol K)
E) 7,500 J/(mol K)

Answer:

Option C) 2,090 J/(mol K)

Explanation:

Data:

Volume in the beaker = 429 ml

temperature  = 20° C

Density = 789 kg/m³

Equilibrium reading = 429

volume change = 29 ml

                          = 0.029 L

Energy change = mcΔT

                       U + PΔV

a) 0.321 ly

b) 0.321 light years is not far in astronomical terms. Alien life would need to transmit at tremendous power in order for their radio transmissions to be detectable. Their radio signal also needs to be stronger than background noise in order to be distinguishable. Therefore it is unlikely that radio transmissions from alien life will ever be detected.

lana [24]

Answer:

0.500 T

Explanation:

Since the change in time and the number of coils are both 1, I set the problem up to be 1.3=(1.5(x)-13(x)). I then plugged in numbers for x until I got the answer to be 1.3 V.

A feather, a marble, and a cannonball are dropped from the same height at
Vika [28.1K]

The correct answer is that they would all hit the ground at the same time. If no air resistance is present, the rate of descent depends only on how far the object has fallen, no matter how heavy the object is. This means that two objects will reach the ground at the same time if they are dropped simultaneously from the same height. This statement follows from the law of conservation of energy and has been demonstrated experimentally by dropping a feather and a lead ball in an airless tube.
