6 0

<u>Answer</u>:

Electric evaporator has been used to clean up the Chernobyl and 3 mile island accident.

<u>Explanation</u>:

About 14 years back, there was a puff of radioactive steam from the evaporator used in the "Three-mile island" nuclear plant. It took two years for the electric evaporator to clean up the 2.2 million gallons of water that have been destroyed because of the nuclear power plant accident.

The steam that came out of the electric evaporator carried a radioactive form of hydrogen and tritium with itself. Cost of clean up was $1 billion.

madam [21]

Answer:

The specific heat of the metal is 2.09899 J/g℃.

Explanation:

Given,

For Metal sample,

mass = 13 grams

T = 73°C

For Water sample,

mass = 60 grams

T = 22°C.

When the metal sample and water sample are mixed,

The addition of metal increases the temperature of the water, as the metal is at higher temperature, and the  addition of water decreases the temperature of metal. Therefore, heat lost by metal is equal to the heat gained by water.

Since, heat lost by metal is equal to the heat gained by water,

Qlost = Qgain

However,

Q = (mass) (ΔT) (Cp)

(mass) (ΔT) (Cp) = (mass) (ΔT) (Cp)

After mixing both samples, their temperature changes to 27°C.

It implies that , water sample temperature changed from  22°C to 27°C and metal sample temperature changed from 73°C to 27°C.

Since, Specific heat of water = 4.184 J/g°C

Let Cp be the specific heat of the metal.

Substituting values,

(13)(73°C - 27°C)(Cp) = (60)(27°C - 22℃)(4.184)

By solving, we get Cp =

Therefore, specific heat of the metal sample is 2.09899 J/g℃.

Perform the following operation and express the answer in scientific notation. 7.0x10^3x1.1x10^7
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

The answer is: 7.7\times10^{10}

Explanation:

Scientific notation is of the kind: a.bc\times10^{x}

The given calculation:

7.0\times10^{3}\times1.1\times10^{7}=(7\times1.1)\times10^{(3+7)}

=7.7\times10^{10}

Therefore, the answer in scientific notation is: 7.7\times10^{10}
