Answer:

The specific heat of the metal is 0.314 J/g°C

Explanation:

Step 1: data given

Temperature of the piece of metal = 100.0 °C

Mass of the metal = 85.5 grams

Volume of water = 122 mL = 122 grams

Temperature of water = 16.0 °C

The final temperature of water = 20.2 °C

The specific heat of water = 4.184 J/g°C

Step 2: Calculate the specific heat of metal

Heat gained= heat lost

Qgained = - Qlost

Qwater = -Qmetal

Q = m*c* ΔT

m(metal)*c(metal)*ΔT(metal) = -m(water)*c(water)*ΔT(water)

⇒m(metal) = mass of metal = 85.5 grams

⇒c(metal) = the specific heat of metal = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒ΔT(metal) = the change of temperature of metal = T2 - T1 = 20.2 - 100 °C =  -79.8 °C

⇒m(water) = the mass of water = 122 grams

⇒c(water) = the specific heat of water = 4.184 J/g°C

⇒ΔT(water) = the change of temperature of metal = T2 - T1 = 20.2 - 16.0 °C =  4.2 °C

85.5 *c(metal) * -79.8 = -122 * 4.184 * 4.2

c(metal) * (-6822.9) = -2143.9

c(metal) = 0.314 J/g°C

The specific heat of the metal is 0.314 J/g°C

PLEASE HELP!!
NARA [144]
We can skip option B and D because NaCl is salt and H₂SO₄ is a strong acid.
Neutralization reactions are those reactions in which acid and base react to form salt and water.
As water being amphoteric in nature can react with HCl as follow,

                           HCl  +  H₂O   ⇆  H₃O⁺  +  OH⁻

In this case no salt is formed, so we can skip this option.

Ammonia being a weak base can abstract proton from HCl as follow,

                              HCl  +  NH₃  →  NH₄Cl

Ammonium Chloride is a salt. So, among all four options, Option-C is the correct answer.

Which of the following measurements is equal to 2.3 dL?
Verdich [7]
2.3 dL = .23 liters. d=deci=10^-1 so you move the decimal place back once.

It's D because micro is 10^-6 (move the decimal place back 6 times) 230,000x10^-6=.23 liters or 2.3 dL.

laiz [17]

A uniform cube is subjected to volume expansion. Each side gets decreased by 1%, then the bulk strain is 0.03.

<h3>What is Volume?</h3>

Volume is the space occupied by a three-dimensional object.

<h3 />

Given that, the side cube is l, then

volume V = l³

\dfrac{\Delta V}{V} = \dfrac{3D1}{1}

For change in volume

% Change in volume = 3× % change in length

= 3 × 1%

Hence, bulk strain = 0.03.



Thus, the bulk strain is 0.03.
