Answer is: because they were using simple chemical reactions to transform elements, but that is possible only with nuclear reactions, which in that time were not possible to conduct.
Nuclear reactions can produce new elements, because number of protons and neutrons is changed, lead and gold have different atomic and mass numbers.
The electrons of an atom participates in a chemical reaction, chemical reactions involve the rearrangement of electrons, because there is transfer, loss, gain and sharing of electrons in chemical reactions, new elements are not formed.
Answer:
The specific heat of the metal is 2.09899 J/g℃.
Explanation:
Given,
For Metal sample,
mass = 13 grams
T = 73°C
For Water sample,
mass = 60 grams
T = 22°C.
When the metal sample and water sample are mixed,
The addition of metal increases the temperature of the water, as the metal is at higher temperature, and the addition of water decreases the temperature of metal. Therefore, heat lost by metal is equal to the heat gained by water.
Since, heat lost by metal is equal to the heat gained by water,
Qlost = Qgain
However,
Q = (mass) (ΔT) (Cp)
(mass) (ΔT) (Cp) = (mass) (ΔT) (Cp)
After mixing both samples, their temperature changes to 27°C.
It implies that
, water sample temperature changed from 22°C to 27°C and metal sample temperature changed from 73°C to 27°C.
Since, Specific heat of water = 4.184 J/g°C
Let Cp be the specific heat of the metal.
Substituting values,
(13)(73°C - 27°C)(Cp) = (60)(27°C - 22℃)(4.184)
By solving, we get Cp =
Therefore, specific heat of the metal sample is 2.09899 J/g℃.
If an organism is heterozygous, it has one copy of two different alleles. If an organism is homozygous, it has two copies of the same allele.
Pretty sure non polar bc it’s equal
