Answer:

Therefore, the specific heat capacity of the iron is 0.567J/g.°C.

<em>Note: The question is incomplete. The complete question is given as follows:</em>

<em>A 59.1 g sample of iron is put into a calorimeter (see sketch attached) that contains 100.0 g of water. The iron sample starts off at 85.0 °C and the temperature of the water starts off at 23.0 °C. When the temperature of the water stops changing it's 27.6 °C. The pressure remains constant at 1 atm. </em>

<em> Calculate the specific heat capacity of iron according to this experiment. Be sure your answer is rounded to the correct number of significant digits</em>

Explanation:

Using the formula of heat, Q = mc∆T  

where Q = heat energy (Joules, J), m = mass of a substance (g)

c = specific heat capacity (J/g∙°C), ∆T = change in temperature (°C)

When the hot iron is placed in the water, the temperature of the iron and water attains equilibrium when the temperature stops changing at 27.6 °C. Since it is assumed that heat exchange occurs only between the iron metal and water; Heat lost by Iron = Heat gained by water

mass of iron  = 59.1 g, c = ?, Tinitial = 85.0 °C, Tfinal = 27.6 °C

∆T = 85.0 °C - 27.6 °C = 57.4 °C

mass of water = 100.0 g, c = 4.184 J/g∙°C, Tinitial = 23.0 °C, Tfinal = 27.6 °C

∆T = 27.6°C - 23.0°C = 4.6 °C

Substituting the values above in the equation; Heat lost by Iron = Heat gained by water

59.1 g * c * 57.4 °C  = 100.0 g * 4.184 J/g.°C * 4.6 °C

c = 0.567 J/g.°C

Therefore, the specific heat capacity of the iron is 0.567 J/g.°C.

Answer:

B. negative charge only

Explanation:

The saying "opposites attract" is true in the case. Since the rod is positively charged, the sphere must have a negative charge to be attracted to it.

A sphere that is positively charged would be repelled from the rod, and a neutral sphere would not be attracted or repelled.

The diagram shows Niels Bohr’s model of an atom.
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

Energy is absorbed, and an emission line is produced.

Explanation:

Electrons are present and revolving continuously in the orbits that are present around the nucleus. The energy of electron are fixed and unable to move to other orbits due to the strong attractive force of the proton which is present in the nucleus of the atom. If the electron wants to jump from the first energy level to the second energy level, so the electron has to absorb enough energy which can overcome the attractive force of proton.
