The heat that is required to raise the temperature of an object is calculated through the equation,
heat = mass x specific heat x (T2 - T1)
Specific heat is therefore calculated through the equation below,
specific heat = heat / (mass x (T2 - T1))
Substituting,
specific heat = 645 J / ((28.4 g)(15.5 - - 11.6))
The value of specific heat from above equation is 0.838 J/g°C.
The difference between the wattage is 60-18=42W. The saving in energy over 10 hrs is 10×42=420 watt-hours=0.42kWh
Answer:

Explanation:
We are given a number of particles and asked to convert to moles.
<h3>1. Convert Particles to Moles </h3>
1 mole of any substance contains the same number of particles (atoms, molecules, formula units) : 6.022 *10²³ or Avogadro's Number. For this question, the particles are not specified.
So, we know that 1 mole of this substance contains 6.022 *10²³ particles. Let's set up a ratio.

We are converting 2.98*10²³ particles to moles, so we multiply the ratio by that value.

The units of particles cancel.



<h3>2. Round</h3>
The original measurement of particles (2.98*10²³) has 3 significant figures, so our answer must have the same.
For the number we found, 3 sig figs is the thousandth place.
The 8 in the ten-thousandth place (0.4948522086) tells us to round the 4 up to a 5 in the thousandth place.

2.98*10²³ particles are equal to approximately <u>0.495 moles.</u>
