Answer:

10 g

Explanation:

Right from the start, just by inspecting the values given, you can say that the answer will be  

10 g

.

Now, here's what that is the case.

As you know, a substance's specific heat tells you how much heat is needed to increase the temperature of  

1 g

of that substance by  

1

∘

C

.

Water has a specific heat of approximately  

4.18

J

g

∘

C

. This tells you that in order to increase the temperature of  

1 g

of water by  

1

∘

C

, you need to provide  

4.18 J

of heat.

Now, how much heat would be required to increase the temperature of  

1 g

of water by  

10

∘

C

?

Well, you'd need  

4.18 J

to increase it by  

1

∘

C

, another  

4.18 J

to increase it by another  

1

∘

C

, and so on. This means that you'd need

4.18 J

×

10

=

41.8 J

to increase the temperature of  

1 g

of water by  

10

∘

C

.

Now look at the value given to you. If you need  

41.8 J

to increase the temperature of  

1 g

of water by  

10

∘

C

, what mass of water would require  

10

times as much heat to increase its temperature by  

10

∘

C

?

1 g

×

10

=

10 g

And that's your answer.

Mathematically, you can calculate this by using the equation

q

=

m

⋅

c

⋅

Δ

T

 

, where

q

- heat absorbed/lost

m

- the mass of the sample

c

- the specific heat of the substance

Δ

T

- the change in temperature, defined as final temperature minus initial temperature

Plug in your values to get

418

J

=

m

⋅

4.18

J

g

∘

C

⋅

(

C

m

=

418

4.18

⋅

=

10 g

Which of the following conclusions can be drawn from JJ Thomson's cathode ray experiments?A.) Atoms contain electronsB.) Practic
kari74 [83]

Answer:

A.) Atoms contain electrons

Explanation:

J.J. Thomson conducted an experiment in which he took a gas at low pressure in a discharge tube and applied high voltage current. When he did so, he noticed that there are some particles emitting from cathode going towards the anode. <u>Then he concluded that they are negatively charged particles and coined them electrons.</u>

<u>Hence, out of the options:- A.) Atoms contain electrons is correct.</u>

The mass of a block is 12 grams and the volume is 6 ml. Calculate the density of the
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

The density of block is 2 g/mL.

Explanation:

Density:

Density is equal to the mass of substance divided by its volume.

Units:

SI unit of density is Kg/m3.

Other units are given below,

g/cm3, g/mL , kg/L

Formula:

D=m/v

D= density

m=mass

V=volume

Symbol:

The symbol used for density is called rho. It is represented by ρ. However letter D can also be used to represent the density.

Given data:

mass of block = 12 g

volume =  6 mL

density = ?

Now we will put the values in the formula,

d= m/v

d = 12 g/ 6 mL

d = 2 g/mL

so, the density of block is 2 g/mL .
