Answer:

The specific heat of the metal is 0,50 J/gºC

Explanation:

Assume that no heat is lost to the surroundings

(Q = m . C . ΔT)metal + (Q = m . C . ΔT)water = 0

Let's replace our values.

55g . C . (18,7ºC - 75ºC) + 100g . 4,184 J/g·°C . (18,7ºC - 15ºC) = 0

55g . C . -56,3 ºC + 418,4J/·°C . 3,7ºC = 0

-3096,5 gºC . C + 1548,08 J = 0

1548,08 J = 3096,5 gºC . C

1548,08 J / 3096,5 gºC  = C = 0,50 J/gºC

Whether or not the process is observed in nature, which of the following could account for the transformation of gallium-67 to z
Sonja [21]

Answer:

Option a: positron emission.

Explanation:

In the transformation we have:

⁶⁷Ga  →  ⁶⁷Zn  

The reaction is:

^{67}_{Z}X \rightarrow ^{67}_{Z -1}Y

For Ga to become Zn, the atom nucleus has to lose a proton, so in the given options, the reaction that involves the transformation of a proton is the option a, positron emission.

In a positron emission, a proton becomes into a neutron and a positron:

^{A}_{Z}X \rightarrow ^{A}_{Z-1}Y + ^{0}_{+1}e

Therefore, the correct answer is option a: positron emission.

I hope it helps you!

What type of radioactivity occurs in nuclear reactor if a neutron and uranium are the typical reactants
prisoha [69]

Answer:

Fission. When a large fissile atomic nucleus such as uranium-235 or plutonium-239 absorbs a neutron, it may undergo nuclear fission. The heavy nucleus splits into two or more lighter nuclei, (the fission products), releasing kinetic energy, gamma radiation, and free neutrons.
