Answer:

0.897 J/g°C

Explanation:

Step 1:

Data obtained from the question. This includes the following:

Mass (M) of substance = 155g

Initial temperature (T1) = 25.0°C

Final temperature (T2) = 40°C

Change is temperature (ΔT) = T2 – T1 = 40°C – 25.0°C = 15°C

Heat Absorbed (Q) = 2085 J

Specific heat capacity (C) of the substance =?

Step 2:

Determination of the specify heat capacity of the substance.

Applying the equation: Q = MCΔT, the specific heat capacity of the substance can be obtained as follow:

Q = MCΔT

C = Q/MΔT

C = 2085 / (155 x 15)

C = 0.897 J/g°C

Therefore, the specific heat capacity of the substance is 0.897 J/g°C

Scilla [17]

Answer:

49.54%

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Number of organisms in original habitat = 4695

Number of organism in new habitat = 2326

Solution:

To find the percentage of the organisms in the new habitat that has migrated to the new habitat, we use the expression below:

% of the population in the new habitat =  x 100

% of the population in the new habitat =  x 100 = 49.54%

Mamont248 [21]

Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Horticulture is the study of science related to the art of growing fruits, vegetables, or plants.

Therefore, when a person graduated from a college with a degree in horticulture then it means he has obtained enough knowledge about how to grow plants, fruits or vegetables in the best way possible.

Thus, Vincent who also graduated in horticulture cannot accurately tell about human psychology.

Hence, we can conclude that the statement this claim may not be accurate because the blog is produced by someone who is not an expert in the field of human psychology.
