Answer:

82 °C

Explanation:

Let the specific heat capacity of the coffee be that of water which is 4.2 J/g °C.

Now, at the final temperature, heat gained by Aluminum spoon ,Q equals heat lost by coffee, Q'.

Q = -Q'

Q = m₁c₁(T₂ - T₁) where m₁ = mass of aluminum spoon = 45 g, c₁ = specific heat of aluminum = 0.88 J/g °C, T₁ = initial temperature of aluminum spoon = 24 °C and T₂ = final temperature of aluminum spoon.

Q' = m₂c₂(T₂ - T₃) where m₂ = mass of coffee = 180 g, c₂ = specific heat of coffee = 4.2 J/g °C, T₃ = initial temperature of coffee = 85 °C and T₂ = final temperature of coffee.

So, Q = -Q'

m₁c₁(T₂ - T₁) = -m₂c₂(T₂ - T₃)

Making T₂ subject of the formula, we have

m₁c₁T₂ - m₁c₁T₁ = -m₂c₂T₂ + m₂c₂T₃

m₁c₁T₂ + m₂c₂T₂ =  m₂c₂T₃ + m₁c₁T₁

(m₁c₁ + m₂c₂)T₂ =  m₂c₂T₃ + m₁c₁T₁

T₂ =  (m₂c₂T₃ + m₁c₁T₁)/(m₁c₁ + m₂c₂)

substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

T₂ =  (180 g × 4.2 J/g °C × 85 °C + 45 g × 0.88 J/g °C × 24 °C )/(45 g × 0.88 J/g °C  + 180 g × 4.2 J/g °C)

T₂ =  (64260 J + 950.4 J)/(39.6 J/°C  + 756 J/°C)

T₂ =  65210.4 J/795.6 J/°C

T₂ =  81.96 °C

T₂ ≅  82 °C

Which of the following additions to alkenes occur(s) specifically in an syn fashion?
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

E) A, B, and C

Explanation:

Syn addition refers to the addition of two substituents on the same face or side of a double bond. This differed from anti addition which a occurs across opposite face of the double bond.

Hydrogenation, hydroboration and dihydroxylation all involve syn addition to the double bond, hence the answer chosen above.

Analyze how friction can be both a positive and negative aspect in our everyday lives. Use examples to support your statements.
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

For example, friction between our shoes and the floor stop us from slipping and friction between tyres and the road stop cars from skidding. Friction is sometimes unhelpful. For example, if you don't lubricate your bike regularly with oil, the friction in the chain and axles increases.
