Once for the water and once for the copper. Set up a table that accounts for each of the variables you know, and then identify the ones you need to obtain. Give me a moment or two and I will work this out for you.

Okay, so like I said before, you will need to use the equation twice. Now, keep in mind that when the copper is placed in the water (the hot into the cold), there is a transfer of heat. This heat transfer is measured in Joules (J). So, the energy that the water gains is the same energy that the copper loses. This means that for your two equations, they can be set equal to each other, but the copper equation will have a negative sign in front to account for the energy it's losing to the water.

When set equal to each other, the equations should resemble something like this:
(cmΔt)H20 = -(cmΔt)Cu
(Cu is copper).

Remember, Δt is the final temperature minus the initial temperature (T2-T1). We are trying to find T2. Since we are submerging the copper into the water, we can assume that the final temperature at equilibrium is the same for both the copper and the water. At a thermodynamic equilibrium, there is no heat transfer because both materials are at the same temperature.

T2Cu = T2H20

Now, the algebra for this part of the problem is a bit confusing, so make sure you keep track of your variables. If done right, the algebra should work out so you have this:

T2 = ((cmT1)Cu + (cmT1)H20) / ((cm)H20 + (cm)Cu)
Insert the values for the variables. Once you plug and chug, your final answer should be
26.8 degrees Celsius.

What is the basic definition of carbohydrates
ikadub [295]

Carbohydrates are substances that are found in foods such as bread and pasta, which provide the body with heat and energy. Chemically, carbohydrates are made of three kinds of elements namely carbon , hydrogen and oxygen.

Carbohydrates are separated into two main categories, simple carbohydrates and complex carbohydrates.  

Simple carbohydrates are those that contain one or two sugar molecules linked together. Complex carbohydrates are those that contain  three or more sugar molecules linked together. In some cases these chains can contain hundreds of sugar molecules.

The respiration rate of a goldfish is measured. The goldfish is then placed in cold water and the respiration rate is measured a
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

Temperature of the water

Explanation:

In every study, there must be independent and dependent variables. An independent variable is the variable that is changed in order to obtain a response. In this case, the temperature of the water is being changed, the response in this experiment is the respiration rate of the goldfish.

Thus the respiration rate of the goldfish is the dependent variable because it is controlled by the temperature of the water and changes accordingly.

Summarily, the independent variable is the temperature of the water while the dependent variable is the respiration rate of the goldfish.
