Answer:

When heat is added to a substance, the molecules and atoms vibrate faster. As atoms vibrate faster, the space between atoms increases. The motion and spacing of the particles determines the state of matter of the substance. ... Solids, liquids and gases all expand when heat is added.

Determine the heat needed to warm 25.3 g of copper from 22 degrees celsius to 39 degrees celsius.

Serggg [28]

Answer:

The heat needed to warm 25.3 g of copper from 22°C to 39°C is 165.59 Joules.

Explanation:

$Q=mc\Delta T$

Where:

Q = heat absorbed or heat lost

c = specific heat of substance

m = Mass of the substance

ΔT = change in temperature of the substance

We have mass of copper = m = 25.3 g

Specific heat of copper = c = 0.385 J/g°C

ΔT = 39°C - 22°C = 17°C

Heat absorbed by the copper :

$Q=25.3 g\times 0.385 J/g^oC\times 17^oC=165.59 J$

The heat needed to warm 25.3 g of copper from 22°C to 39°C is 165.59 Joules.

Dr. House took two liquids of different densities (p_1=1500 kg/m^3; p_2 = 500 kg/m^3) are poured together into a 0.1 m^3 tank fi

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

We know that:
mass = density x volume
The volume of the total mixture is 0.1 m³
Let the first liquid be A and the second be B
Mass Total = Mass A + Mass B

800 x 0.1 = 1500Va + 500(0.1 - Va)
30 = 1000Va
Va = 0.03 m³
Vb = 0.1 - 0.03 = 0.07 m³

How much money will it cost to drive a school bus 94.00 miles if it gets 6.500 miles per gallon and gas costs $2.459/gallon?

bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

It will cost $35.5602

Explanation:

$2.459 /6.5 (mpg) = 0.3783 (cents per mile)

$0.3783 (cost per mile) * 94 (total miles) = $35.5602 total
