Which choice best describes the specific heat of water compared with that of metals?

Chemistry

solong [7]3 years ago
8 0

Answer: Specific heat capacity is the measurement of how much energy (in J) has to be added to 1 kg of a substance to increase the temperature of that substance by 1 o C. Simply, substances with a low specific heat capacity heat up quickly - but then they lose their heat quickly. Substances with a high specific heat capacity require a large amount of heat to be added to change their temperature - but then they hold their heat much longer.

Explanation: Think of heating a pot of soup on the stove and stirring it with a metal spoon. If you leave the spoon sitting in the pot for even a few minutes and you return, the spoon will be hot enough to burn your hands - and the soup will feel only slightly warmer. This happens because the specific heat capacity of the metal spoon is much lower than that of the water in the soup. Water has the highest specific heat capacity of any liquid.

Hope this helps!!!!!

What type of ossification occurs to form an immovable joint
ipn [44]

Answer:

The type of ossification that occurs is the endomembrane or endochondral.

Explanation:

In this type of joints called SYNARTROSIS, there is no intermediate formation of ligaments or cartilage, with which the bone does not grow from a cartilage ossification, but from undifferentiated cells that will calcify and form bone cells and the main bone units that are the OSTEONAS. The bones that present this type of joints are the skull, in the area of ​​the temporal bone (Temporary Suture) that grow abruptly throughout life and by mechanisms different from those bones that present a joint with movement.
