A 40.2 g sample of a metal heated to 99.3°C is placed into a calorimeter containing 120 g of water at 21.8°C. The final temper

ature of the water is 24.5°C. Which of the following might be the metal that was used?
A) Aluminum (c=0.89J/g°C)
B) Iron (c=0.45J/g°C)
C) Copper (0.20J/g°C)
D) Lead (c=0.14J/g°C)

Answer:

B) Iron (c=0.45 J/g°C)

Explanation:

Given that:-

Heat gain by water = Heat lost by metal

Thus,  

m_{water}\times C_{water}\times (T_f-T_i)=-m_{metal}\times C_{metal}\times (T_f-T_i)

Where, negative sign signifies heat loss

Or,  

m_{water}\times C_{water}\times (T_f-T_i)=m_{metal}\times C_{metal}\times (T_i-T_f)

For water:

Mass = 120 g

Initial temperature = 21.8 °C

Final temperature = 24.5 °C

Specific heat of water = 4.184 J/g°C

For metal:

Mass = 40.2 g

Initial temperature = 99.3 °C

Final temperature = 24.5 °C

Specific heat of metal = ?

So,  

120\times 4.184\times (24.5-21.8)=40.2\times C_{metal}\times (99.3-24.5)

40.2C_{metal}\left(99.3-24.5\right)=120\times \:2.7\times \:4.184

40.2C_{metal}\left(99.3-24.5\right)=1355.616

C_{metal}=0.45\ J/g^0C

<u>This value corresponds to iron. Thus answer is B.</u>

A thermometer reads an outside air temperature of 35°c. What is the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit
Hoochie [10]

35°c is equal to 95°f

To do this multiply 35 and 1.8

35 x 1.8=63

Now add 32

Resulting in the answer 95

(The equation for to solve for c and f is c1.8+32=f

Calculate the hydrogen-ion concentration (H+] for the aqueous solution in which [OH-1 is 1 x 10-12 mol/L.
Artemon [7]

Answer:If we have [H+][OH-]= Kw = 1.0 x 10^-14

Then [H+]= Kw/ [OH-]= 1.0x 10^-14/ 1 x 10^-11 =1 x 10^-3 mol/L

And here is the solution - as you can see it is an acidic one :

pH = - log [H+]= - log 1 x 10^-3 = 3 < 7

Explanation: genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are being made by inserting a gene from an external source such as viruses, bacteria, animals or plants (etc) into foods. Genetically modified foods seem to be not as healthy as unmodified foods, according to research. also many people are against it due to the fact that some people go overboard and add too many genetically modified organisms, which causes health risks and unfortunately harms people. sometimes genetically modified food contains toxins and antibiotics. srry i couldnt find much on the process but this is based off my background knowledge so yeah
