Answer:
b)15.0°C
Explanation:
Specific Heat of Water=4.2 J/g°C
This means, that 1 g of Water will take 4.2 J of energy to increase its temperature by 1°C.
∴80 g Water will take 80×4.2 J of energy to increase its temperature by 1°C.
80×4.2 J=336 J
Total Energy Provided=1680 J
The temperature increase=\frac{\textrm{Total energy required}}{\textrm{energy required to increase temperature by one degree}}
Temperature increase=
=5°C
Initial Temperature =10°C
Final Temperature=Initial + Increase in Temperature
=10+5=15°C
C. Biomass is the correct answer
Have about 5 beakers all with different temperatures of water. Put in a teaspoon of salt at a time and when it stops dissolving stop adding and record how much salt it took. It should be more salt as the temperature rises. The independent variable is the waters temperature. The dependent variable is how much salt is used. Make sure that there is the same amount of water in each beaker. Or else it won’t work.
