Answer:
This question is incomplete
Explanation:
This question is incomplete because the result of the described experiment would have better determined the type of scientific explanation to profer. However, the type of material that will preserve the relative hotness or temperature of the hot coffee for the longest time will be a material than can resist heat transfer. These materials tend to keep hot substances hot by not allowing the heat of the coffee to be conducted or pass through it. These materials are mostly insulators or made by placing an insulator between two heat conductors.
Generally, heat is usually transferred from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration, hence when the heat is denied of this transfer, the heat will remain trapped in the "heat-donor" substance (in this case the hot coffee). Thus, the material chosen (A, B or C) will be the material that resists heat transfer the most based on the explanation above.
For example, water. In its liquid state we drink it , in its solid state (ice ) we use it to make our drinks colder or t numbs pain when wrapped in cloth and it’s gas state ( water vapour) we steam vegetables. In conclusion many different properties of matter are used for various purposes
A hypothesis is a prediction of what you believe to be true.
We assume that we have Ka= 4.2x10^-13 (missing in the question)
and when we have this equation:
H2PO4 (-) → H+ + HPO4-
and form the Ka equation we can get [H+]:
Ka= [H+] [HPO4-] / [H2PO4] and we have Ka= 4.2x10^-13 & [H2PO4-] = 0.55m
by substitution:
4.2x10^-13 = (z)(z)/ 0.55
z^2 = 2.31x 10^-13
z= 4.81x10^-7
∴[H+] = 4.81x10^-7
when PH equation is:
PH= -㏒[H+]
= -㏒(4.81x10^-7) = 6.32
