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

Protozoan infection is not likely to be transmitted by:
anygoal [31]
Hi! 

The answer is breathing.

Protozoans are organisms that can multiply themselves in humans, and serious infections can develop from one organism. The most frequently transmission methods are contaminated food or fecal contact. Dog bites inoculate bacteria into deep tissue, and they also serve as a transmission method.

Breathing
is not considered to be likely to transmit protozoan infection because protozoans rarely develop in the respiratory tract.

Ascorbic acid, or vitamin C (C6H8O6, molar mass = 176 g/mol), is a naturally occurring organic compound with antioxidant propert
nydimaria [60]

Answer : 50.69 mg of ascorbic acid does not meet the daily requirement.

Solution : Given,

Molar mass of Ascorbic acid = 176 g/mole

Moles of Ascorbic acid = 2.88\times 10^{-4}moles

Formula used :

Moles=\frac{Mass}{\text{ Molar mass}}

or, \text{ Mass of ascorbic acid}=\text{ Moles of ascorbic acid}\times \text{ Molar mass of ascorbic acid}

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get the mass of ascorbic acid.

\text{ Mass of ascorbic acid}=(2.88\times 10^{-4}moles)\times (176g/mole)=0.050688g=50.69mg

Conversion : (1g=1000mg)

As per question, a healthy adult’s daily requirement of vitamin C is 70-90 mg. But calculate mass of vitamin C is 50.69 mg. So, 50.69 mg of ascorbic acid does not meet the daily requirement.

Hydrochloric acid reacts with calcium to form hydrogen and calcium chloride. if 100 grams of hydrochloric acid reacts with 100 g
natita [175]
The balanced chemical reaction is:

2HCl + Ca = CaCl2 + H2

We are given the amount of the reactants to be used for the reaction. These values will be the starting point of our calculations.

100 g HCl ( 1 mol HCl / 36.46 g HCl ) = 2.74 mol HCl

100 g Ca ( 1 mol Ca / 40.08 g ) = 2.08 mol Ca

From the reaction, the mole ratio of the reactants is 2:1 where every 2 moles of hydrochloric acid, 1 mole of calcium is required. Therefore, the limiting reactant for this case is calcium.

The OAC simulation showed that warm air over a cold current:
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

Option B

Transfers energy to the water

Explanation:

Warm air transfers energy to the water when it flows over cold currents. This means that the warm air loses heat energy to the cold currents thus, raising its temperature.

Whenever there is a temperature difference between two bodies in contact with each other, the Fouriers law explains that there is always a transfer of heat from the hotter body to the colder body until they become the same temperature.

Thus, following this, heat will flow from the warm air to the cold currents.
