Chemistry
1 answer:
Elza [17]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

  • <u><em>It will be less than 26 °C as water has a relatively higher specific heat than sand.</em></u>

Explanation:

The <em>specific heat </em>of a substance is the amount of heat energy absorbed by one unit of mass of the substance when its temperature increases one unit.

From that, you can derive the equation for the specific heat of a substance:

  • specific heat = heat / (mass × ΔT)

Thus, assuming that all the heat provided by the lamp to both samples is the same and, as given, the amount (mass) of both samples is also the same, you have that the specific heat of the samples will be:

  • specific heat = constant / ΔT

So, specific heat and ΔT are inversely related.

It is known that water has a higher specific heat than sand (that is why the sand on the shore of a beach is, during the day, hotter than the water and your feet get burned when you walk on a sandy beach on a sunny day).

Then, since the specific heat of water is greater than the specific heat of sand, the increase of temperature of water will be lower and, consequently, water will reach a lower final temperature than sand, when equal amounts of water and sand are heated as described in the experiment. This is the second choice: the final temperature of water is less than 26°C as water has a relatively higher specific heat than water.

Suppose it took 108 joules of energy to raise a bar of gold from 25 °C to 29.7°C. Given that the specific heat capacity of gold
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

m = 180 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Energy absorbed = 108 J

Mas of gold = ?

Initial temperature = 25°C

Final temperature = 29.7 °C

Specific heat capacity of gold = 0.128 J/g.°C

Solution:

Formula:

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = amount of heat absorbed or released

m = mass of given substance

c = specific heat capacity of substance

ΔT = change in temperature

ΔT =29.7 °C - 25°C

ΔT = 4.7 °C

108 J = m ×0.128 J/g.°C ×4.7 °C

108 J = m ×0.60 J/g

m = 108 J/0.60 J/g

m = 180 g

1. what is an ethical concern about biotechnology
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

1. There are so many ethical concerns about biotechnology, some Ethical issues that arise from the application of modern biotechnologies include:

Discrimination of individuals because of their health or health history as a result of knowing their genetic information,  minimizing harms while maximizing benefits, Interference with nature, privacy.

2. a. Plants (maize, rice)

   b. Fish (GloFish)

3. For individuals, biotechnology has helped in the prevention and treatment of a wide range of diseases. For society, biotechnology saves time, improves the health and quality of food through a reduction in the use of pesticides and it can create new viruses and bacteria that cause diseases. Biotechnology could address global change since more genetically modified plants are grown.
