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

A student measures the volume of a solution to be 0.01370 l. How many significant digits are in this measurement?
Mkey [24]

A student measures the volume of a solution to be 0.01370 have 5 significant digits in this measurement.

<h3>What are significant digits?</h3>

The significant digits are the minimum number from zero to nine for reporting any measurement where the digits are uncertain.

The significant digits starting from zero are not significant digits, decimal is not a significant digit, and ending zero after the decimal are significant digits.

Therefore, the student measures the volume of a solution to be 0.01370 5 significant digits are in this measurement.
