Answer : The heat energy absorbed by the sample was 6.2 calories.

Explanation :

Formula used :

Q=m\times c\times \Delta T

where,

Q = heat absorbed = ?

m = mass of gold = 10.0 g

c = specific heat of gold = 0.031cal/g^oC

\Delta T = change in temperature  = 20.0^oC

Now put all the given value in the above formula, we get:

Q=10.0g\times 0.031cal/g^oC\times 20.0^oC

Q=6.2cal

Therefore, the heat energy absorbed by the sample was 6.2 calories.

10 grams of gold would have a specific heat of 0.31 calories ie 10 x 0.031 and if heated up by 20.0 degrees centigrade then 20.0 x 0.31 would be a 6.2 calorie increase in heat. In other words, the specific heat means that it is the calories produced in the gram of gold by a 1 degree rise in degrees centigrade.

OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

Incomplete precipitation of barium sulfate

Explanation:

The student has precipitated and digested the barium sulfate on his/her side. But on the addition of BaCl_2 in the solution, the solution become cloudy. This happened because incomplete precipitation of barium sulfate by the student. When BaCl_2 is added, there are still sulfate ions present in the solution with combines with BaCl_2 and forms BaSO_4 and the formation of this precipitate makes the solution cloudy.

Adding energy to solid water will turn it into ?
love history [14]

Answer:

Energy added to solid water will turn it into liquid water; add energy into liquid water and it will be turned into water vapor.

Explanation:

Adding energy is basically adding heat; the more heat, the more excited the molecules of H2O gets. In solid water, the molecules aren't really moving because they don't have a lot of energy, so it is solid. In liquid water (which is water in room temperature), it has a medium amount of energy; the molecules aren't stuck together but it isn't completely dispersed, so it is in liquid form. However, in water vapor, the energy becomes very high and the molecules are excited. The hydrogen bonds holding the molecules together break and the water is released as a vapor.
