Answer:
1).A mixture having a uniform composition where the components can't be seen separately and all components are in the same state best describes a solution. In chemistry, a solution is a homogeneous mixture composed of two or more substances.
Answer:
a) 
b) This value of specific heat is close to the specific heat of ice at -40° C and the specific heat of peat (a variety of coal).
c) The material is peat, possibly.
d) The material cannot be ice because ice doesn't exists at a temperature of 100°C.
Explanation:
Given:
- mass of aluminium,

- mass of water,

- initial temperature of the system,

- mass of copper block,

- temperature of copper block,

- mass of the other block,

- temperature of the other block,

- final equilibrium temperature,

We have,
specific heat of aluminium, 
specific heat of copper, 
specific heat of water, 
Using the heat energy conservation equation.
The heat absorbed by the system of the calorie-meter to reach the final temperature.



The heat released by the blocks when dipped into water:

where
specific heat of the unknown material
For the conservation of energy : 
so,


b)
This value of specific heat is close to the specific heat of ice at -40° C and the specific heat of peat (a variety of coal).
c)
The material is peat, possibly.
d)
The material cannot be ice because ice doesn't exists at a temperature of 100°C.
Answer:
16 kg
Explanation:
M - container
m - oil mass
by definition of density ,
relative density is the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of water.
relative density = density/ density of water
density of oil = 1.2*1000 kgm⁻³ = 1200 kgm⁻³
1 Litre =10⁻³ m³
oil volume = 80 *10⁻³ m³
mass of oil = density * volume
= 1200*80*10⁻³
= 96 kg
Mass of container + mass of oil =112
mass of container = 112 - 96
= 16 kg
I think this is correct, but I am not entirely certain.
Find the force constant of the spring:
F = - KX
(0 - 62.4) = -K(0.172m)
-362.791 = -K
362.791 N/m = K
Find the work done in stretching the spring:
W = (1/2)KX
W = (1/2)(362.791)(0.172m)
W = 31.2 J
