Answer : Initial temperature of the water is 518.3 K

Explanation :

The specific heat of water (Cp) can be expressed in 2 ways

1) Cp = 1 J g⁻¹ K⁻¹ or

2) Cp = 1 kJ kg⁻¹ K⁻¹

The amount of heat absorbed by water is given by the following equation.

Q = m×Cp×ΔT

Here Q is the amount of energy absorbed in kilojoules

m is the mass of water in kilograms

Cp is specific heat of water

ΔT is the difference is temperature of water.

We have been given that

Q = 87 kJ

Cp = 1 kJ kg⁻¹ K⁻¹

m = 587.00 kg

Let us plug in these values in equation for Q

Q = mxCpxΔT

87 kJ = 587.00 kg x 1 kJ kg⁻¹ K⁻¹ x ΔT

87/587.00 = ΔT

ΔT = 0.15 K

ΔT is calculated as Tf - Ti where Tf is the final temperature and Ti is the initial temperature .

We know that Tf = 518.4 K

And we calculated ΔT as 0.15 K.

Let us plug these values in the equation

ΔT = Tf - Ti

0.15 K = 518.4 K - Ti

Ti = 518.25 K

Initial temperature of the water is 518.3 K

Which type of allergy test, also called a subcutaneous test, introduces dilute solutions of allergens into the skin of the inner
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

The type of allergy test is scratch test.

Explanation:

In a scratch test also called a skin pri c k test or puncture test, an allergy provoking substance placed on the skin is gradually scratched  into the skin surface with the aid of a needle or lancet so as to detect bodily reactions to allergens. Some of the types allergens whose reactions are generally tested for include pollen, dust mites, molds and foods.

The scratch test takes about 5 to 10 minutes and it could cause slight pain and the may  result in itching feeling at the location where the allergen was introduced.
