Answer:

= 1.271 J/g°C

Explanation:

Heat released by the metal sample will be equivalent to the heat absorbed by  water.

But heat = mass × specific heat capacity × temperature change

Thus;

Heat released by the solid;

= 225 g × c ×(67 -53) , where c is the specific heat capacity of the metal

= 3150 c joules

Heat absorbed by water;

= 25.6 g × 4.18 J/g°C × (53-15.6)

= 4002.0992  joules

Therefore;

3150 c joules = 4002.0992 joules

c =4002.0992/3150

 <u> = 1.271 J/g°C</u>

Weather fronts are more likely to be located north and come from the north too. As the earths axis and tilt changes so does our seasons. In the winter we are farther away from the sun especially in the north where it is farthest so the weather is colder. Therefore if cold weather occurred we can predict it is coming from the north.

What must the value of a conversion factor always be?
storchak [24]

Answer:

One or unity or 1

Explanation:

For example,  

1 min =60 s

If we divide each side of the equation by 1 min, we get

1 = \dfrac{\text{60 s}}{\text{1 min}}

If we divide each side of the equation by 60 s, we get

\dfrac{\text{1 min}}{\text{60 s}} = 1\\\\\text{Thus, both conversion factors, $\dfrac{\text{60 s}}{\text{1 min}}$ and $\dfrac{\text{1 min}}{\text{60 s}}$, equal 1.}

What is the solution to the problem expressed to the correct number of significant figures
quester [9]

I don't know what the problem is, but here are some rues to help you out:

  1. All non-zero figures are significant
  2. When a zero falls between non-zero digits, that zero is significant.
  3. When a zero falls after a decimal point, that zero is significant.
  4. When multiplying and dividing significant figures, the answer is limited to the number of sig figs equal to the least number of sig figs in the problem.
  5. When adding and subtracting, the answer is limited to the number of decimal places in the number with the least number of decimal places.

vfiekz [6]

Answer:

<h2>1 N2+ 1 O2 are two N atoms and two O atoms.</h2>

<h3>In NO, there is one N and one O atom.</h3>

For both sides to be the same, there have to be 2 NO molecules, as 2 NO molecules contain 2 N atoms and 2 O atoms, just like starting products of the reaction.
