Answer:

B. The temperature of the water when the food sample has finished burning completely.

Explanation:

Heat or thermal energy is a form of energy that transfers from one object to another due to a temperature difference between the objects. The units for heat are joules or calories.

Calorimetry is the measurement of heat energy released or absorbed in a chemical  reaction. A calorimeter is used in calorimetry. The calorimeter operates on the Law of Conservation of Energy which states that energy is never created or destroyed but is transformed from one form to another or between objects.

In food calorimetry, the energy released when food is burned is measured by recording the rise in temperature of water in a calorimeter when a given mass of a food sample is burned completely.

Energy can be calculated using the formula: Q = mc ∆T

where Q = the energy in joules or calories, m = the mass in grams, c = specific heat and ∆T = the change in temperature (final temperature - initial temperature).

The temperature of the water when the food sample has finished burning completely is taken as the final temperature of the water. The sample is allowed to smolder for sometime before recording the final  water temperature. This is because the water temperature will continue to rise after the  flame has gone out.

An element is a pure substance in which there are how many kinds of atoms?
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

One

Explanation:

An element is a pure substance in which there are only one kind of atom. Elements are distinct substances that cannot be split up into simpler substances.

Such substances consists of only one kind of atom. There are over a hundred known elements to date.

Generally, as a pure substance, the composition of an element is definite and they are homogenous in all parts.

On the axes provided, label pressure on the horizontal axis from O mb to 760 mb and volume on the vertical axis from O to 1 mL.
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

  • Please, find the graph with the labels and points located on the axes in the picture attached.

Explanation:

This is how you meet all the instructions and some important comments to understand how this kind of graphs word:

<u>1) Label pressure on the horizontal axis from O mb to 760 mb and volume on the vertical axis from O to 1 mL. </u>

The horizontal axis is used to record the independent variable and the vertical axis is used to record the dependent variable. The axes most be properly labeled with the name of the variable and the units.

In this case the origin is the point (0,0) which means that the axes cross each other, perpendicularly, at a pressure of 0 mb and a volume of 0.0 mililiters.

<u>2) Assign values to axes divisions in such a way that you occupy almost all the space on both axes. </u>

A good graph searches to occupy the whole space on both cases; to do that, find the maximum value for each variable, pressure and volume, and choose the values of the marks.

The range of the pressure (horizontal axis) is [90, 760 mb], so you should choose big divisions (marks) of 100 mb, and assign 800 mb to the right most mark on the horizontal axis. Then, you can divide each interval of 100 mb into 10 spaces, with small divisions of 10 mb (my graph uses 4 spcaes, with small divisions of 25 mb, but I recommend you use small divisions of 10 mb).

The range of the volume (vertical axis) is [0.1, 0.8], so you should choose only divisions with value of 0.1 ml.

<u>3) Now locate and label the points: </u>

  • (90, 0.9) ⇒ 90 mb, 0.9 ml
  • (100, 0.8) ⇒ 100 mb, 0.8 ml
  • (400, 0.2) ⇒ 400 mb, 0.2 ml
  • (600, 0.15) ⇒ 600 mb, 0.15 ml
  • (760, 0.1) ⇒ 760 mb, 0.1 ml

The points of the kind (x, y) are called ordered pairs, which means that the order matters, because it has a meaning: the first number represents the independent variable and the second number represents the dependent variable.

So, in the point (90, 0.9), 90 is a pressure of 90 mb and 0.9 is a volume of 0.9 ml.

To locate (600, 0.15), since the horizontal marks have value of 0.1, you must locate the second coordinate of your point between the marks 0.1 and 0.2 ml.

With that you can now locate each point on your graph.

Develop a demonstration to show how mass is not the same thing as weight
pychu [463]

This is more of a physics explanation, but here we go.

Mass is a measure of how much "matter" is in an object. Weight is the force applied onto an object by gravity. Weight itself can be related to mass like this:

f_g = mg

where g is a gravitational constant. For our purposes, it's defined by whatever planet you are on. Following this, we can demonstrate that mass is NOT the same thing as weight if we take two objects of the same mass and put them on different planets.

Let E refer to Earth and F refer to Mars

g_E = 9.81 m/s^2\\g_F = 3.711 m/s^2

Following this, we can see clearly that weight is not the same as mass:

m*9.81 : m*3.711 \\\int\limits^a_b {x} \, dx 9.81 \neq 3.711\\f_g E \neq f_g F\\

If weight was the same thing as mass, the two values would be the same, as the mass of the two objects is the same. But since weight is defined in the context of gravity, they are not.

How many particles would be found in a 89.2 g sample of Na?
julsineya [31]
One mole of a substance contains 6.02 × 10∧23 particles. Thus we first convert  89.2 g to moles. 1 mole of sodium contains 23 g
Hence 89.2 g = 89.2 / 23 g = 3.878 moles
Therefore, 3.878 × 6.02×10∧23 particles= 23.346 × 10∧23 particles
Hence 89.2 g of sodium contains 2.335 ×10∧24 particles
