a) Copper is at a higher temperature, so the flow of heat will take place from copper to iron. Heat is a form of energy, which always flows from higher temperature to lower temperature.
b) To determine the actual final temperature, the heat capacity of the calorimeter must be known. A calorimeter constant refers to a constant, which quantifies the heat capacity of a calorimeter. It may be determined by using a known amount of heat to the calorimeter and measuring the corresponding change in temperature of the calorimeter.
Answer:
NaCl will only conduct electricity in solutions
Explanation:
For electrical conduction, free mobile electrons as seen in most metals must be present or ions which are charged particles must be available for solutions and molten substances.
- Sodium chloride is an ionic compound without free mobile electrons or ions despite being ionic.
- It will maintain a subtle and unique charge stability when in solid form.
- In solid, the ions are not free to move and remain locked up in the solid mass.
- When introduced into a solution, the ions becomes free to move and this will aid electrical conduction.

Answer:
4 g OF IODINE-131 WILL REMAIN AFTER 32 DAYS.
Explanation:
Half life (t1/2) = 8 days
Original mass (No) = 64 g
Elapsed time (t) = 32 days
Mass remaining (Nt) = ?
Using the half life equation we can obtain the mass remaining (Nt)
Nt = No (1/2) ^t/t1/2
Substituting the values, we have;
Nt = 64 * ( 1/2 ) ^32/8
Nt = 64 * (1/2) ^4
Nt = 64 * 0.0625
Nt = 4 g
So therefore, 4 g of the iodine-131 sample will remain after 32 days with its half life of 8 days.
