31.5 grams of an unknown substance is heated to 102.4 degrees Celsius and then placed into a calorimeter containing 103.5 grams

of water at 24.5 degrees Celsius. If the final temperature reached in the calorimeter is 32.5 degrees Celsius, what is the specific heat of the unknown substance?
Show or explain the work needed to solve this problem, and remember that the specific heat capacity of water is 4.18 J/(°C x g). (2 points)

Heat gained in a system can be calculated by multiplying the given mass to the specific heat capacity of the substance and the temperature difference. It is expressed as follows:<span>

Heat = mC(T2-T1) 

When two objects are in contact, it should be that the heat lost is equal to what is gained by the other. From this, we can calculate things. We do as follows:

</span>Heat gained = Heat lost
mC(T2-T1) = - mC(T2-T1) 
31.5C (102.4 - 32.5) = 103.5(4.18)(32.5 - 24.5)
C = 1.57 J/C-g

Hope this helps.

suppose that recording station N located 200 km north of the epicenter of an earthquake, and recording station S is located 100
andrezito [222]

Answer:

c.The value of T at Recording Station N would be greater than T at Recording Station S.

Explanation:

We can deduce from the information provided that the value of T at recording station N would be greater than T at recording station S.

This problem relates distance with time.

       Speed  = \frac{disance}{time}

                  Distance  = Speed x time

  • Just like any other physical quantity, speed of a substance is directly related to time.
  • The larger the time taken the farther the distance it will cover assuming the velocity is constant.
  • Earthquake waves for example moves at constant speed with a unique velocity in earth materials.
  • The farther the distance, the more time it will take to reach the seismic recording station.
  • Since N is a distance of 200km from the epicenter, it will take a greater time and have a higher reading of T to reach the station.

Natalka [10]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

well heterogenous mixtures are not uniformly distributed these meaning whatever components are "mixed" can be seperated easily

a example of this can be

Soil, oil in water, ice in water

while Homogeneous mixture cannot be seen seperated
