Answer:- C. Hafnium.

Solution:- Mass of the sample is 46.0 g and it's volume is 3.5cm^3 .

From mass and volume, we can calculate it's density using the formula:

density=\frac{mass}{volume}

density=\frac{46.9g}{3.5cm^3}

density=\frac{13.4g}{cm^3}

On the basis of the density, this substance could either be mercury or hafnium. Since the substance is a solid at room temperature where as mercury is liquid. So, it can't be mercury.

The right choice is C) Hafnium.

A 100g sample of a metal was heated to 100oC and then quickly transferred to an insulated container holding 100g of water at 22o
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

B) The metal temperature changed more than the water temperature did, but the metal lost

the same amount of thermal energy as the water gained.

Explanation:

Heat capacity or thermal capacity is defined as the amount of heat required by a given mass of a material to raise its temperature by one unit which means that the heat capacity of the water, that is the quantity of heat required to cause a rise from 22°C to 35°C that is a rise of 13°C is the quantity of heat that caused the drop in temperature of the metal from 100°C to 35°C a change of 65°C

The water has more capacity to absorb heat or a higher heat capacity than the metal

However, the first law of thermodynamics states that energy is neither created nor destroyed, but it changes from one form to another. In this case, the thermal energy lost by the metal is the same as the thermal or heat energy gained by the water
