Complete Question

A sample of aluminum, which has a specific heat capacity of 0.897 JB loc ! is put into a calorimeter (see sketch at right) that contains 200.0 g of water. The aluminum sample starts off at 85.6 °C and the temperature of the water starts off at 16.0 °C. When the temperature of the water stops changing it's 20.1 °C. The pressure remains constant at 1 atm. Calculate the mass of the aluminum sample.

Answer:

M=58g

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Heat Capacity H=0.897

Mass of water M=200g

Initial Temperature of Aluminium T_a=85.6

Initial Temperature of Water T_{w1}=16.0

Final Temperature of Water  T_{w2}=16.0

Generally

Heat loss=Heat Gain

Therefore

M*0.897*(85.6-20.1) =200*4.184*(20.1-16)

M=58g

10. (2 points) What is the process by which a solute forms a solution in a solvent. A) calisthenics B) bumping C) dissolution D)
Triss [41]

Answer: (C) Dissolution is the process by which a solute form a solution in a solvent.

Explanation: Dissolution can be described as the process by which a solute dissolves in a solvent to give a solvent.

The solute may be a solid, liquid or gas and solvent is usually a liquid but can also be liquid, gas or supercritical fluid. The most common solvent is water and it is referred to as the universal solvent.

Example are:

1.Stirring of sugar in water.

In this case the solute is the sugar and the solvent is water.

2.Organic substances dissolves readily in solvent like kerosene and benzene and they are known as non-polar solvent while the organic substances are the solute

Which tool or tools would you use to measure and compare the mass of a cup of fresh water and a cup of salt water
Artemon [7]
You could use a scale to measure the mass as well as a cup to hold the water. If you were comparing the two, you should also probably use a graduated cylinder to get the same amount of each type of water.

Hope this helped ^_^

Do all substances absorb heat the same way?
miv72 [106K]

Since particles are closer together, solids conduct heat better than liquids or gases. Conduction moves heat through a material. It keeps a fire going by spreading the heat through solid material. Radiation is a method of heat transfer that does not require particles to carry the heat energy.

When comparing Potassium (K) and Calcium (Ca) you must compare?
Rom4ik [11]
Vitamin K and potassium are essential micronutrients the body needs to develop and function properly. The two share some things in common, but they’re not the same.

Each has a unique set of properties and purposes. Unlike vitamin K, potassium is not a vitamin. Rather, it’s a mineral.

On the periodic table, the chemical symbol for potassium is the letter K. Thus, people sometimes confuse potassium with vitamin K.

This article highlights some of the main similarities and differences between vitamin K and potassium.
