A piece of unknown metal with mass 68.6 g is heated to an initial temperature of 100 °C and dropped into 84 g of water (with an

initial temperature of 20 °C) in a calorimeter. The final temperature of the system is 52.1°C. The specific heat of water is 4.184 J/g*⁰C. What is the specific heat of the metal?

The piece of unknown metal is in thermal equilibrium with water such that Q of metal is equal to Q of the water. We write this equality as follows:

-Qm = Qw
Mass of metal (Cm)(ΔT) = Mass of water (Cw) (ΔT)

where C is the specific heat capacities of the materials.

We calculate as follows:

-(Mass of metal (Cm)(ΔT)) = Mass of water (Cw) (ΔT)
-68.6 (Cm)(52.1 - 100) = 42 (4.184) (52.1 - 20)
Cm = 1.717 -----> OPTION C

Answer:

Option (d)

Explanation:

Let c be the specific heat of the metal.

By use of principle of caloriemetry,

Heat lost by the hot body = Heat gained by the cold body

Heat lost by metal = Heat gained by water

mass of metal x specific heat of metal x fall in temperature of metal = mass of water x specific heat of water x rise in temperature of water

68.6 x c x (100 - 52.1) = 84 x 4.184 x (52.1 - 20)

3285.94 x c = 11281.7376

c = 3.433 J/g C

Which features on mars point to the possibility of liquid water on the planet?
Stells [14]
     In 2011 NASA researchers identified features on Mars known as Recuring Slope Lineae ( or RSL ). RSL are relatively dark and narrow features.They are thought to be a signs of salty liquid water on Mars. One hypothesis for RSL formation is that they form when underground bodies of salty water leak into the surface.
   Answer: Recuring Slope Lineae.

astraxan [27]

Answer:

Newton's third law of motion.

Explanation:

An ice skater at rest pushes against a sled at rest,causing both the skater and sled to move away from each other with different acceleration. It is based on Newton's third law of motion.

Third law says that, for every action there is an equal; and opposite reaction. Here, action is force applied by ice skater and reaction is motion of skater and sled away from each other with different acceleration.
