Answer:
It's A., thats conduction and its a heat transfer
Explanation:
The color changes, heat change, smell change, are a few
The water gets cold because the ice cube is endothermic. Which means it takes in heat. It takes the warmth from the water and melts the ice cube which the ice cube releases coldness which cools down the water.
From Q = mcΔT, we can rearrange the equation to solve for mass, m = Q/cΔT. The specific heat capacity, c, of solid gold is 0.129 J/g °C. I'm assuming that the energy is given in joules, as it's not specified in the question as written.
m = Q/cΔT = (35.73 J)/(0.129 J/g °C)(40.85 °C - 0.85°C)
m = 6.92 g of gold was present
