Chemical potential energy
We can use the heat equation,
Q = mcΔT
where Q is the amount of energy transferred (J), m is the mass of the substance (kg), c is the specific heat (J g⁻¹ °C⁻¹) and ΔT is the temperature difference (°C).
Q = 11.2 kJ = 11200 J
m = <span>145 g
</span>c = ?
ΔT = (67 - 22) °C = 45 °C
By applying the formula,
11200 J = 145 g x c x 45 °C
c = 1.72 J g⁻¹ °C⁻¹
Hence, specific heat of benzene is 1.72 J g⁻¹ °C⁻¹.
Sorry this will probably be pretty long.
So think of the "control" as being something you yourself add to increase or decrease the effects in an experiment.
I'll give you an example so it is not as confusing.
Say you have decided to make an experiment on plants. Which plant can grow the fastest on which type of liquid? What is being added to this experiment? The liquid! Or all of the liquids you used. Like if you used Coke, Lime Gatorade, Orange Gatorade, and Water. Each drink will EFFECT each plant differently.
Hope I was of any hope?
On the periodic table, the elements colored yellow, which generally border the stair -step line , are considered to be metalloids
