Answer:

The specific heat for the metal is 0.466 J/g°C.

Explanation:

Given,

Q = 1120 Joules

mass = 12 grams

T₁ = 100°C

T₂ = 300°C

The specific heat for the metal can be calculated by using the formula

Q = (mass) (ΔT) (Cp)

ΔT = T₂ - T₁ = 300°C - 100°C = 200°C

Substituting values,

1120 = (12)(200)(Cp)

Cp = 0.466 J/g°C.

Therefore, specific heat of the metal is 0.466 J/g°C.

Yo sup??

we can solve this problem by applying Newton's 2nd law

F*t=Δp

p=momentum

pi=mu=1500*30

pf=mv=m*0=0

Therefore

F*3=1500*30

F=15000 N

Hope this helps.

An isotonic solution has: a)The same pH as blood b) More ions per unit volume than blood c) More water per unit volume than blo

Veronika [31]

Answer:

d) osmotic pressure equal to that of blood

Explanation:

Answer is not a) because pH is concentration of positive hydrogen in solution but it not note all solutes. Answer is not b) because like answer a), it not note solutes without charge and, additionally it not note the pressure equilibrium when solvent flows through a membrane . Answer is not c) because it can be more or less water (solvent).
