A 130.3 g piece of copper (specific heat 0.38 J/g・°C) is heated and then placed into 400.0 g of water initially at 20.7°C. The w

ater increases in temperature to 22.2°C. What is the initial temperature of the copper? (The specific heat of water is 4.18 J/g・°C).

Answer:

Approximately 72.9\; \rm ^\circ C, assuming that this system is insulated properly.

Explanation:

Calculate the amount of energy that the water here has gained (using the increase in its temperature.)

\begin{aligned} Q(\text{water}) &= c(\text{water}) \cdot m(\text{water}) \cdot \Delta T(\text{water}) \\ &=4.18 \times 400.0 \times (22.2 - 20.7) \approx 2508.0\; \rm J \end{aligned}.

Assume that this system (copper and water) is well-insulated and has no heat exchange with its surroundings. The amount of energy that water gained should be equal to the of energy that copper has lost. However, the sign of the energy change of copper should be negative because copper had lost energy:

Q(\text{copper}) = -Q(\text{water}) \approx -2508.0\; \rm J.

Calculate the temperature change of this piece of copper. Note, that this temperature change is the difference between the initial temperature of the copper piece and the final temperature 22.2\; \rm ^\circ C of the system.

\begin{aligned}\Delta T(\text{copper}) &= \frac{Q(\text{copper})}{c(\text{copper}) \cdot m(\text{copper})} \approx \frac{-2508.0}{130.3 \times 0.38} \approx 50.65\; \rm ^\circ C\end{aligned}.

Calculate the initial temperature of this piece of copper given its final temperature and the change to its temperature:

\begin{aligned}T(\text{copper, initial}) &= T(\text{copper, final}) - \Delta T(\text{copper}) \\ &\approx 22.2 + 50.65 \approx 72.9\; \rm ^\circ C\end{aligned}.

10. The Proton is special! What does it tell us?<br> The proton tells me..
Dovator [93]

Answer:

These two numbers are fixed for an element. The mass number tells us the number the sum of nucleons of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom. The atomic number also known as the proton number is the number of protons found in the nucleus of an atom. ... The atomic number uniquely identifies a chemical element.

Use a Punnett square. In rabbits, black fur is dominant over white fur. What percentage of offspring will be white if a heterozy
blsea [12.9K]
<h2>Answer 1:</h2>

Option D is correct: 0%

Percentage of offspring will be 0% white if a heterozygous male and homozygous dominant female have offspring.

<h2>Answer 2:</h2>

Option A is correct: 75%

Two parents who are heterozygous are expecting a child. the percentage that the child will have free ear lobes will be 75%.

<h2>Answer 3:</h2>

Option A is correct: 25%

Two parents who are heterozygous are expecting a child. 25 is the percentage that the child be homozygous dominant.

<h2>Answer 4:</h2>

Option D is correct: 25%

If a homozyous recessive and a heterozygous plant have offspring. 25 will percentage will have smooth seeds.

<h2>Answer 5:</h2>

Option D is correct: 0%

If a homozyous recessive and a heterozygous plant have offspring. There will 0% chances that offsprings will be homozygous dominant.

<h2>Answer 6:</h2>

Option D is correct: substitution

In this question one of base thymine at 7 number is substituted with another base Adenine.

<h2>Answer 7:</h2>

Option A is correct: Incomplete dominance

Incomplete dominance is a form of intermediate inheritance in which one allele for a specific trait is not completely expressed over its paired allele. This results in a third phenotype in which the expressed physical trait is a combination of the phenotypes of both alleles.

<h2>Answer 8:</h2>

Option A is correct: T T C G A A T C T G T A T G A C

After the insertion of a new base thymine the new sequence will be of option A.

<h2>Answer 9:</h2>

True

Yes this is true that "Environmental influences and genetics can determine a person's phenotype".

<h2>Answer 10:</h2>

Option B is correct: selective breeding

Humans have been choosing desired traits of livestock and pets for centuries by breeding organisms that they choose with the traits they desire. This process is called selective breeding.

<h2>Answer 11:</h2>

homologous chromosomes

karyotyping is a test that evaluates the number and structure of a person's chromosomes in order to detect abnormalities. Chromosomes are thread-like structures within each cell nucleus and contain the body's genetic blueprint.
