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

Modern space suits augment the basic pressure garment with a complex system of equipment and environmental systems designed to keep the wearer comfortable, and to minimize the effort required to bend the limbs, resisting a soft pressure garment's natural tendency to stiffen against the vacuum. A self-contained oxygen supply and environmental control system is frequently employed to allow complete freedom of movement, independent of the spacecraft.
Three types of spacesuits exist for different purposes: IVA (intravehicular activity), EVA (extravehicular activity), and IEVA (intra/extravehicular activity). IVA suits are meant to be worn inside a pressurized spacecraft, and are therefore lighter and more comfortable. IEVA suits are meant for use inside and outside the spacecraft, such as the Gemini G4C suit. They include more protection from the harsh conditions of space, such as protection from micrometeorites and extreme temperature change. EVA suits, such as the EMU, are used outside spacecraft, for either planetary exploration or spacewalks. They must protect the wearer against all conditions of space, as well as provide mobility and functionality.

Most people can detect frequencies as high as 20 000 Hz. Assuming the speed of sound in air is 345 m/s, determine the wavelength
Gekata [30.6K]

Wavelength = speed / frequency

(345 m/s) / (20,000 Hz) = 0.017 m
