In grinding a steel knife blade (specific heat = 0.11 cal/g-c),the metal can get as hot as 400C. If the blade has a mass of 80g,

what is the minimum amount of water needed at 20C if the water isnot to rise above the boiling point when the hot blade is quenchedin it?

Answer:

33 g.

Explanation:

Assuming no heat transfer can be possible except for heat exchange between water and steel, we can say that the heat lost by the knife, must be equal to the heat gained by the water.

As we have a limit for the maximum temperature of both elements (once reached a final thermal equilibrium), of 100ºC, which means that the maximum allowable change in temperature will be of 300º C for the knife, and of 80º C for the water.

Empirically , it has been showed that for a heat exchange process using only conduction, the heat needed to raise the temperature of a body, is proportional to the mass, being the proportionality constant a factor that depends on the material, called specific heat.

So, we can write the following equation:

cs*mk*Δtk = cw*mw*Δtw

Replacing by the givens of the question, we have:

0.11 cal/gºC * 80 g * 300ºC = 1 cal/gºC*mw*80ºC

Solving for mw = 2,640 cal / 80 cal/g =33 g.

How does laser works ?<br>​
erastova [34]

Explanation:

Lasers produce a narrow beam of light in which all of the light waves have very similar wavelengths. The laser's light waves travel together with their peaks all lined up, or in phase. This is why laser beams are very narrow, very bright, and can be focused into a very tiny spot.

B. Helium because it is constantly being made in the sun

Explanation:

From the given paragraph, we can conclude that helium is the most common element in a star such as the sun because it is constantly being made.

In the nuclear fusion process that results in the production of helium, hydrogen nuclei are the reactants and helium is the product.

  • since the reactants are constantly being used in the core of the sun, this suggests that the products must be more.
  • The reaction requires a high temperature and pressure to initiate.
  • It is a series of chain reaction that uses a fuel of hydrogen to produce helium.
