A 248-g piece of copper is dropped into 390 mL of water at 22.6 °C. The final temperature of the water was measured as 39.9 °C.

Calculate the initial temperature of the piece of copper. Assume that all heat transfer occurs between the copper and the water.

Answer:

The answer to your question is: Initial temperature of copper = 67.1°C

Explanation:

Data

mass Copper = 248 g

volume Water = 390 ml

T1 water = 22.6°C

T2           = 39.9°C

T1 copper = ?

Specific heat water = 1 cal/g°C

Specific heat copper = 0.092 cal/g°C

Formula       copper             water

Heat is negative for copper because it releases heat

                  - mCp(T2 - T1) = mCp(T2 - T1)                  

                  - (248)(39.9 - T1) = 390 (1)((39.9 - 22.6)           Substitution

                 -9895.2 + 248T1 = 390(17.3)                             Simplification

                 -9895.2 + 248T1 = 6747

                 248 T1 = 6747 + 9895.2

                 248 T1 = 16642.2

                 T1 = 16642.2 / 248

                 T1 = 67.1 °C                                                         Result

Some fats are called "saturated" fats because __________. Select one: a. their carbon skeleton is bent to form four fused rings
marin [14]

Answer:

All carbons in the carbon skeleton contain the maximum number of hydrogen atoms

Explanation:

Saturated fats are class of compounds having all the fatty acids containing only single bonds. In other words, carbon skeleton has only single bonds.

Unsaturated compounds undergoes hydrogenation to form saturated fats.

In hydrogenation, hydrogen atoms are added to the carbon attached to double bond. After become saturated, no more hydrogen atoms can be added.

Therefore, it can be said that in saturated fats all carbons in the carbon skeleton contain the maximum number of hydrogen atoms.

Question 1<br><br> Of the following which displays a positive energetic process?
TiliK225 [7]

We can describe a positive energetic process as any process which increases the internal energy of the system.

A positive energetic reaction or process is often referred to as being Endothermic. This means that the system which is performing the process absorbs energy. Some examples include:

  • Boiling an Egg
  • Roasting food over a fire (the food is the reference system)

etc

Therefore, we can confirm that a positive energetic process is one in which the system in question absorbs energy, thus increasing its internal energy.

<em>Since I could not locate the options online, I have provided a general explanation of the concept coupled with a few examples.</em>
