You find a 1979 copper penny (pre-1982 pennies are pure copper) in the snow and pick it up. How much heat does the penny absorb

as it warms from the temperature of the snow, -5.0∘C to the temperature of your body, 37∘C. Assume the penny is pure copper and has a mass of 3.10 g. (The specific heat capacity of copper is 0.385 J/g∘C.)

Answer:

50.127 J

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Initial temperature (T₁) = –5 °C

Final temperature (T₂) = 37 °C

Mass (M) = 3.10 g

Specific heat capacity (C) = 0.385 J/gºC

Heat (Q) absorbed =?

Next, we shall determine the change in temperature. This can be obtained as follow:

Initial temperature (T₁) = –5 °C

Final temperature (T₂) = 37 °C

Change in temperature (ΔT) =?

ΔT = T₂ – T₁

ΔT = 37 – (–5)

ΔT = 37 + 5

ΔT = 42 °C

Finally, we shall determine the heat absorbed. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass (M) = 3.10 g

Specific heat capacity (C) = 0.385 J/gºC

Change in temperature (ΔT) = 42 °C

Heat (Q) absorbed =?

Q = MCΔT

Q = 3.10 × 0.385 × 42

Q = 50.127 J

Thus, the heat absorbed is 50.127 J.

What percent of earths total volume is the crust
vlada-n [284]

1%

Explanation:

The crust is the thinnest layer of the earth accounting for only 1% total volume of the planets.

Compositionally, the earth is divided into three layers which are the crust, mantle and the core.

  • The crust is the outermost layer of the earth. It rich in silicate minerals. The rocks are classified into igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks.
  • The mantle takes up about 84% of the total volume of the earth. It is located in between the crust and the core. It is predominantly made up of ferro-magnesian silicate minerals.
  • The cores accounts for slightly 15% of the volume of the earth. It is the center of our geoid shaped earth. It is rich in iron and nickel metals.
