When equilibrium has been reached so, according to this formula we can get the specific heat of the unknown metal and from it, we can define the metal as each metal has its specific heat:
Mw*Cw*ΔTw = Mm*Cm*ΔTm
when
Mw → mass of water
Cw → specific heat of water
ΔTw → difference in temperature for water
Mm→ mass of metal
Cw→ specific heat of the metal
ΔTm → difference in temperature for metal
by substitution:
100g * 4.18 * (40-39.8) = 8.23 g * Cm * (50-40)
∴ Cm = 83.6 / 82.3 = 1.02 J/g.°C
when the Cm of the Magnesium ∴ the unknown metal is Mg
Answer:
1) Salts X and Y
2) The solubility of the salts
3) a) The solvent
b) The solvent temperature
Explanation:
1) The independent variable is the variable that is suspected to be the cause of the subject of the investigation
The given investigation is meant to investigate the solubility of different salts
Therefore, the solubility is expected to be dependent on the type of salt, and the independent variable is the type of salt, X or Y
2) The dependent variable is the effect meant to be observed in the investigation, which is the solubility of the salt in water at room temperature
3) The control variables are the variables which are held constant during the investigation, including;
a) The solvent used if the investigation; water
b) The temperature of the solvent; Room temperature
For the same amount of energy, the number of photons in red light will be greater than the number of photons in blue light.
This is because the energy carried by a photon is inversely proportional to the wavelength of the photon. A longer wavelength means there is a lower energy in the photons and a shorter wavelength means that there is a higher energy. Therefore, in order for the photons to deliver one joule of energy, more of the red light photons will be required.
All are the same. It equals to the same thing.
