Answer:
208.7°C was the initial temperature of the limestone.
Explanation:
Heat lost by limestone will be equal to heat gained by the water
Mass of limestone = 
Specific heat capacity of limestone = 
Initial temperature of the limestone = 
Final temperature = 
=T = 51.9°C
Mass of water= 
Specific heat capacity of water= 
Initial temperature of the water = 
Final temperature of water = =T = 51.9°C
On substituting all values:
208.7°C was the initial temperature of the limestone.
Water behaves as a base in this reaction.
The Bronsted-Lowry definition is applied, because the reaction involves the transfer of H+ from one reactant to the other.
A Bronsted-Lowry base is defined as a substance that accepts a proton.
Because water gains a proton to form H3O+ in this particular reaction, it acts as a base
Answer:
Lower heat capacity
Explanation:
The heat or thermal capacity is a physical property defined as the amount of heat a material need in order to elevate a unit in its temperature, this means that water increases its temperature more easily than land.
