What is the likely impact of water's high specific heat on life on Earth?

Chemistry
1 answer:
valkas [14]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

C

Explanation:

The high specific heat capacity of water means that it takes much more energy to raise the temperatures of water by one (1) degree than land. This means that on a hot sunny day, land temperatures would increase dramatically while ocean temperatures would only rise slightly. Conversely,  at night, the land cools rapidly while oceans cool slowly hence the temperatures drop slightly.

When you first pull back on the pendulum, and when you pull it back really high the Potential Energy is high and the Kinetic Energy is low, But when up let go, and it gets right around the middle, that's when the Potential energy transfers to Kinetic, at that point the kinetic Energy is high and the potential Energy is low. But when it comes back up at the end. The same thing will happen, the Potential Energy is high, and the Kinetic Energy is low. Through all of that the Mechanical Energy stays the same. 

I hope this helps. :)

A ------------ ----------------- is the dying out of a large number of species on a global scale
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

Extinction event or sometimes known as Mass extinction

Explanation:

These events typically are typically widespread and rapid decrease in the biodiversity (which takes into account spread and existence of current species). The worst mass extinction was Permian–Triassic extinction where over 90% of species of organisms vanished.

Suppose it took 108 joules of energy to raise a bar of gold from 25 °C to 29.7°C. Given that the specific heat capacity of gold
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

m = 180 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Energy absorbed = 108 J

Mas of gold = ?

Initial temperature = 25°C

Final temperature = 29.7 °C

Specific heat capacity of gold = 0.128 J/g.°C

Solution:

Formula:

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = amount of heat absorbed or released

m = mass of given substance

c = specific heat capacity of substance

ΔT = change in temperature

ΔT =29.7 °C - 25°C

ΔT = 4.7 °C

108 J = m ×0.128 J/g.°C ×4.7 °C

108 J = m ×0.60 J/g

m = 108 J/0.60 J/g

m = 180 g
