The final answer is -322, 320 Joules. The solution for the problem is:

The equation that must be used in this problem is:

U = mCp(Tf-Ti)

where:
U = energy released or absorbed in Joules
m = mass in kg
Cp = specific heat of material in J/kg-C
Tf = final temperature, C
Ti = initial temperature, C

Looking up the Cp of granite gives a value of 790 J/kg-C.

U = 17kg (790 J/kg-C) (21-45)
U = - 322, 320 Joules (negative means heat is released)

Can someone SCIENTIFICALLY explain to me the formation of all types of Acid Rain?<br> Plz
faust18 [17]

so basically

some fuels have an impurity in them which is sulfur.

When the fuel undergoes combustion, the sulfur reacts with oxygen in the air to form sulfur dioxide.

the sulfur dioxide reacts with water vapour in the air to form sulfurous acid, which is a type of acid rain.

Also

the high pressures inside a car engine may cause nitrogen and oxygen in the air to react and form oxides of nitrogen. the most common compounds formed inside car engines are NO (nitrogen oxide) and NO2 (nitrogen dioxide)

Identify the substance that conducts electricity.
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

KBr dissolved in water.

Explanation:

A substance conducts electricity as a result of the presence of mobile ions in the substance.

An ionic substance such as KBr when dissolved in water releases free ions which become charge carriers in solution hence the solution conducts electricity. Solid ionic substances such as solid KBr and solid baking soda do not conduct electricity because the ions are strongly bound to each other in the crystal lattice.

Molecular substances such as sugar and alcohol do not conduct electricity even in solution.
