From Q = mcΔT, we can rearrange the equation to solve for mass, m = Q/cΔT. The specific heat capacity, c, of solid gold is 0.129 J/g °C. I'm assuming that the energy is given in joules, as it's not specified in the question as written.
m = Q/cΔT = (35.73 J)/(0.129 J/g °C)(40.85 °C - 0.85°C)
m = 6.92 g of gold was present
There are many safety precautions and rules you MUST follow during labs.
for this incident here is what you should do:
1)Notify your Instructor and partner
2) if the liquid is toxic (like not water or vinegar) then let your Instructor handle it properly, or follow your instructors orders (like if they say to put a towel over it or something like that)
3) Broken glassware, minus mercury thermometer, must be immediately cleaned up, do not use your bare hand, always wear gloves.
4)dispose of the broken glass properly and clean the liquid up (unless it is harmful, then let your instructor do it)
Answer:
mass is a measure of the amount of matter in a sample or object. It is measured in grammes or kilogrammes
Yes this is true as in cold conditions our body doesn't feel the urge of water therefore we may become dehydrated not even knowing about it and of course in hot coditions we sweat therefore we loose water.
Hope this helps :).
