Answer:

                     Cp  =  0.237 J.g⁻¹.°C⁻¹

Explanation:

                      Amount of energy required by known amount of a substance to raise its temperature by one degree is called specific heat capacity.

The equation used for this problem is as follow,

                                                 Q  =  m Cp ΔT   ----- (1)

Where;

           Q  =  Heat  =  640 J

           m  =  mass  =  125 g

           Cp  =  Specific Heat Capacity  =  <u>??</u>

           ΔT  =  Change in Temperature  =  43.6 °C  -  22 °C  =  21.6 °C

Solving eq. 1 for Cp,

                                Cp  =  Q / m ΔT

Putting values,

                                Cp  =  640 J / (125 g × 21.6 °C)

                                Cp  =  0.237 J.g⁻¹.°C⁻¹

You have a glass of liquid and combine it with a mysterious solid and notice that over time the color changes. this questions ha
Juliette [100K]

1. This can be due to the dissolving of the solid in liquid and form a solution.

Dissolving is a physical property because dissolving doesn't form new substances and the chemical composition of the solid is not changed.

The color building up over the time can be due to the rate of dissolving of the solid and amount of particles have been dissolved.

Example:

  • Dissolving of CuSO₄ solid in water.
  • This develops a blue color.

2. This can be due to the chemical reaction between the solid and liquid.

Chemical reaction is a chemical property because from reacting substances new substances can be formed which the chemical formula is different from initial substances.

The color building up over the time can be due to the rate of the reaction and the amount of reactants.

Example:

  • The reaction between calcium metal with water.
  • The color of Ca(OH)₂ is white color.
  • Reaction is

       Ca(s) + 2H₂O(l) → Ca(OH)₂(aq) + H₂(g)

9. A box is pushed 1.5 m to the right in 5 s. What is the box’s average speed to the nearest hundredth of a m/s? *
poizon [28]

Answer:

s = 0.30 m/s

Explanation:

Given data:

Distance travel = 1.5 m

Time taken = 5 s

Average speed of box = ?

Solution:

s = d/t

s = speed

d = distance

t = time

by putting values,

s = 1.5 m/ 5 s

s = 0.30 m/s

PLEASE HELP MEEE I WILL MARK BRAINLIST FOR THIS ITS SUPER SIMPLE....BUT U MUST TYPE EVERYTHING
Alina [70]

Answer:

Threatened Species: A threatened species is a species at risk but not yet endangered. California sea otters were classififed as a threatened species. Laws were passed to protect the otters and now they have increased their population size.

Invasive Species: One of the main causes of extinction and endangered species is the introduction of an exotic species. New exotic species are called invasive species. Invasive species can disrupt food chains, carry disease, prey on native species directly, and out-compete native species for limited resources, like food.

Extinction: If a population decreases too much in numbers, they disappear. Extinct species mean that the species has died out and no individuals left. An example of extinction: New Zealand was once home to a bird called the Giant Moa. Humans settled as their population increased the Moa population decreased. The species is now extinct.
