What is the major source of energy for the production of electricity in this facility

A 125g metal block at a temperature of 93.2 degrees Celsius was immersed in 100g of water at 18.3 degrees Celsius. Given the spe

Answer:

$\large \boxed{34.2\, ^{\circ}\text{C}}$

Explanation:

There are two heat transfers involved: the heat lost by the metal block and the heat gained by the water.

According to the Law of Conservation of Energy, energy can neither be destroyed nor created, so the sum of these terms must be zero.

Let the metal be Component 1 and the water be Component 2.

Data:

For the metal:

$m_{1} =\text{125 g; }T_{i} = 93.2 ^{\circ}\text{C; }\\C_{1} = 0.900 \text{ J$^{\circ}$C$^{-1}$g$^{-1}$}$

For the water:

$m_{2} =\text{100 g; }T_{i} = 18.3 ^{\circ}\text{C; }\\C_{2} = 4.184 \text{ J$^{\circ}$C$^{-1}$g$^{-1}$}$

$\begin{array}{rcl}\text{Heat lost by metal + heat gained by water} & = & 0\\q_{1} + q_{2} & = & 0\\m_{1}C_{1}\Delta T_{1} + m_{2}C_{2}\Delta T_{2} & = & 0\\\text{125 g}\times 0.900 \text{ J$^{\circ}$C$^{-1}$g$^{-1}$} \times\Delta T_{1} + \text{100 g} \times 4.184 \text{ J$^{\circ}$C$^{-1}$g$^{-1}$}\Delta \times T_{2} & = & 0\\112.5\Delta T_{1} + 418.4\Delta T_{2} & = & 0\\112.5\Delta T_{1} & = & -418.4\Delta T_{2}\\\Delta T_{1} & = & -3.719\Delta T_{2}\\\end{array}$

$\Delta T_{1} = T_{\text{f}} - 93.2 ^{\circ}\text{C}\\\Delta T_{2} = T_{\text{f}} - 18.3 ^{\circ}\text{C}$

$\begin{array}{rcl}\Delta T_{1} & = & -3.719\Delta T_{2}\\T_{\text{f}} - 93.2 ^{\circ}\text{C} & = & -3.719 (T_{\text{f}} - 18.3 ^{\circ}\text{C})\\T_{\text{f}} - 93.2 ^{\circ}\text{C} & = & -3.719T_{\text{f}} + 68.06 ^{\circ}\text{C}\\4.719T_{\text{f}} & = & 161.3 ^{\circ}\text{C}\\T_{\text{f}} & = & \mathbf{34.2 ^{\circ}}\textbf{C}\\\end{array}\\\text{The final temperature of the block and the water is $\large \boxed{\mathbf{34.2\, ^{\circ}}\textbf{C}}$}$

The chart below lists data on four different projects designed to restore a wetlands habitat destroyed by human activity and a r

snow_lady [41]

Answer:

Project 3.

Explanation:

Project 3's anticipated cost is 12 to 17 million dollars. It is a lower anticipated cost than Project 2 and Project 4, but higher than Project 1 by one million dollars at maximum cost anticipation. Additionally, the percentage of wildlife to benefit is 70-80%, which is second to the most wildlife to benefit which is Project 4 at 75-80%.

And finally, for community support for Project 3 - the chart lists it as high. This outclasses Project 2 and Project 4, but balances with Project 1. However, Project 1 costs 13 to 16 million dollars and only benefits 15-25% of wildlife.
