Answer:

8.9 KJ

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of strip = 251 g

Initial temperature = 22.8 °C

Final temperature = 75.9 °C

Specific heat  capacity of granite = 0.67 j/g.°C

Heat absorbed = ?

Solution:

Specific heat capacity:

It is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of substance by one degree.

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 = 75.9 °C - 22.8 °C

ΔT = 53.1 °C

Now we will put the values in formula,

Q = 251 g × 0.67 j/g.°C × 53.1 °C

Q = 8929.8 J

Jolue to KJ conversion.

8929.8J ×1 KJ / 1000 J

8.9 KJ

Since all atoms have negatively charged electrons, shouldn’t every sample of matter have a negative charge ? Explain
Salsk061 [2.6K]

The three sub-atomic particles that made up an atom are electron, proton and neutron. The proton and neutron are present in the nucleus of an atom whereas electrons revolve around the nucleus in the orbits. The atoms are electrically neutral that is they have no charge due to the presence of equal number of protons (which is positively charged) and electrons (which is negatively charged).

All the atoms have negatively charged electrons which are counter balanced by the presence of equal number of protons in the nucleus of an atom and thus, the element is neutral in nature and possess no charge.
