The same heat transfer into identical masses of different substances produces different temperature changes. Calculate the final

temperature when 1.00 kcal of heat transfers into 1.00 kg of the following, originally at 20.0ºC : (a) water; (b) concrete; (c) steel; and (d) mercury.

Answer: final temperatures will be

a) water 21 C

b) concrete  20.005 C

c) steel   20.008 C

d) mercury  53 C

Explanation:

Change in temp dT = dH / (mass x specific heat)

Specific heat of these materials can be found from many sources:

water = 1 kcal / kg C

concrete = 210 kcal / kg C

steel = 114 kcal / kg C

mercury = 0.03 kcal /kg C

So dT (water) from 1 kcal heat into 1 kg water = 1 kcal / (1 kg x 1 kcal/kg C) = 1 C therefore the final temperature is 20 + 1 = 21 C

But dT (steel) = 1 kcal / (1kg x 114 kcal/kg C) = 0.008 C so the final temperature is 20 + 0.008 = 20.008 C

The results for concrete and mercury are calculated in the same way

1. Which list of nuclear emissions is arranged in order from the least penetrating power to
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

A) alpha particle, beta particle, gamma ray

Explanation:

Alpha beta and gamma radiations are the examples of ionizing radiations. When an atom is an excited state and having high energy, the atom is in unstable state. The excess of energy is released by the atom to get the stability. The released energy is in the form of radiations which may include alpha, beta, gamma, X-ray etc.

Properties of alpha radiation:  

Alpha radiations can travel in a short distance.

These radiations can not penetrate into the skin or clothes.

These radiations can be harmful for the human if these are inhaled.

These radiations can be stopped by a piece of paper.

₉₂U²³⁸   →   ₉₀Th²³⁴  + ₂He⁴  + energy

Beta radiations:  

The mass of beta particle is smaller than the alpha particles.

They can travel in air in few meter distance.

These radiations can penetrate into the human skin.

The sheet of aluminum is used to block the beta radiation

⁴₆C → ¹⁴₇N + ⁰₋₁e

The beta radiations are emitted in this reaction. The one electron is ejected and neutron is converted into proton.  

Gamma radiations:

Gamma radiations are high energy radiations having no mass.

These radiations are travel at the speed of light.

Gamma radiations can penetrate into the many materials.

These radiations are also used to treat the cancer.

Lead is used for the protection  against gamma radiations because of its high molecular density.

The lead apron are used by the person when treated with gamma radiations.

Lead shields are also used in the wall, windows and doors of the room where gamma radiations are treated, in-order to protect the surroundings.

What does the electron sea model for metals suggest?
fgiga [73]

Answer:

electron sea model for metals suggest that valence electrons drift freely around the metal cations.

Explanation:

Explanation: In electron sea model, the valence electrons in metals are delocalized instead of orbiting around the nucleus. ... These electrons are free to move within the metal atoms. Thus, we can conclude that the electron sea model for metals suggest that valence electrons drift freely around the metal cations.
