A 50 g sample of an unknown metal is heated to 90.0C. It is placed in a perfectly insulated container along with 100 g of water

at an initial temperature of 20C. After a short time, the temperature of both the metal and water become equal at 25C. The specific heat of water is 4.18 J/gC in this temperature range. What is the specific heat capacity of the metal?

Answer:

0.64 J/g°C

Explanation:

Using the formula;

Q = m × c × ∆T

Where;

Q = amount of heat

m = mass (g)

c = specific heat capacity

∆T = change in temperature (°C)

In this case:

Q (water) = - Q (metal)

mc∆T (water) = - mc∆T (metal)

According to the information in this question,

For water; m = 100g, c = 4.18J/g°C, ∆T = (25°C - 20°C)

For metal; m = 50g, c =?, ∆T = (25°C - 90°C)

mc∆T (water) = - mc∆T (metal)

100 × 4.18 × (25°C - 20°C) = - {50 × c × (25°C - 90°C)}

100 × 4.18 × 5 = - {50 × c × -65}

2090 = -{-3250c}

2090 = 3250c

c = 2090/3250

c = 0.643

c = 0.64J/g°C

They are formed when two plates collide, either crumpling up and forming mountains or pushing one of the plates under the other and back into the mantle to melt. Convergent boundaries form strong earthquakes, as well as volcanic mountains or islands, when the sinking oceanic plate melts.

What happens to waves energy when it’s absorbed by an median
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

Absorption, in wave motion, the transfer of the energy of a wave to matter as the wave passes through it. The energy of an acoustic, electromagnetic, or other wave is proportional to the square of its amplitude—i.e., the maximum displacement or movement of a point on the wave; and, as the wave passes through a substance, its amplitude steadily decreases.

lisov135 [29]

Answer:

A hydraulic lift for automobiles is an example of a force multiplied by hydraulic press, based on Pascal's principle. The fluid in the small cylinder must be moved much further than the distance the car is lifted.

Waves bounce back when they meet a surface. This phenomenon is called...
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

A reflection

Explanation:

Reflection – when a wave hits a surface, any part of the wave that cannot pass through the surface bounces back. This interaction with a surface is called reflection.

Another way to explain it is

Reflection occurs when waves bounce back from a surface they cannot pass through.
