Answer:

Mass of paraffin that would be needed to collect the amount of energy as 4.73 x 10³ kg of water is 6.85 * 10³ kg

Explanation:

Specific heat capacity of paraffin, Cp = 2.90 J/g.°C = 2900 J/kg.°C

Specific heat capacity of water = 4.20 J/g.°C = 4200 J/kg.°C

Amount of heat energy that can be stored by 4.73 * 10³ kg of water heated through a degree rise in temperature can be calculated as below:

Using  H = mCpθ where m is mass of substance, Cp is specific heat capacity and θ is temperature change

H = 4.73 * 10³ kg * 4200 J/kg.°C * 1°C

H = 19866000 J

Mass of paraffin that would be needed to collect the amount of energy as 4.73 x 10 3 kg of water for a degree rise in temperature is calculated as follows:

H = mCpθ

19866000J = m * 2900 J/kg.°C * 1°C

m = 19866000J / 2900 J/kg

m = 6850.34 kg = 6.85 * 10³ kg

Therefore, mass of paraffin that would be needed to collect the amount of energy as 4.73 x 10³ kg of water is 6.85 * 10³ kg

Which of these statements about atomic models is most likely correct?
taurus [48]

Answer:

The correct option is the second option

Explanation:

Generally, the aim of science is to understand a particular concept in the best and the most correct way possible; hence experiments are done and repeated to ensure an explanation is actually true about a concept or need modification.

The atomic models have also been a "beneficiary" of this process. The different atomic models are usually been improved upon as scientists leaned more. For example, the Dalton's atomic theory has been modified to a more correct atomic description; some of which are shown below

(1) Dalton's theory suggested that an atom is the smallest unit of a molecule. We know now from different experiments (by J. J Thompson and Rutherford) that atoms are not the smallest molecules and are made up of smaller particles known as protons, neutrons and electrons.

(2) Dalton's theory suggested that atoms of the same elements are alike in all aspects. The knowledge of isotopy shows this is not always the case. As atoms of the same elements (isotopes) have the same atomic number but different mass number; hence cannot be said to be the same in all aspects.

(3) Dalton's theory also suggested that when atoms react, they do so in fixed, simple whole number ratio. The knowledge of organic chemistry shows atoms do not always react in simple whole number ratios

There are several modifications to different postulations by scientists that have also occurred aside from this, hence the most correct answer is that "As scientists learned more, they modified the atomic model"
