Answer:

The specific heat of gold is 0.129 J/g°C

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of gold  = 15.3 grams

Heat absorbed = 87.2 J

Initial temperature = 35.0 °C

Final temperature = 79.2 °C

Step 2:

Q = m*c*ΔT

⇒ Q =the heat absorbed = 87.2 J

⇒ m = the mass of gold = 15.3 grams

⇒ c = the specific heat of gold = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒ ΔT = The change in temperature = T2 - T1 = 79.2 - 35.0 = 44.2 °C

87.2 J = 15.3g * c * 44.2°C

c = 87.2 / (15.3 * 44.2)

c = 0.129 J/g°C

The specific heat of gold is 0.129 J/g°C

Tanzania [10]

Answer:

The genetic material of the organism will be DNA.

Explanation:

Sexual reproduction can be described as a type of reproduction in which offsprings with genetic diversity are produced. Sexual reproduction occurs by the process of meiosis.

DNA is the genetic material which is passed from the parents to the offsprings at the time of fertilization. However, the phenomenon of individual assortment and crossing over during the process of meiosis produces genetic variability among the children and the parents.
