A 13.9 - g piece of metal ( specific heat capacity is 0.449 /g^ C)who whose temperature is 54.2 degrees * C was added to a sampl

e of water at 13.4 degrees * C in a constant - pressure calorimeter of negligible heat capacity . If the final temperature of the water is 15.6 °C, calculate the mass of the water in the calorimeter .​

Answer:

26.2g = Mass of water in the calorimeter

Explanation:

The heat absorbed for the water is equal to the heat released for the metal. Based on the equation:

Q = m*C*ΔT

<em>Where Q is heat, m is the mass of the sample, C is specific heat of the material and ΔT is change in temperature</em>

<em />

Replacing we can write:

m_{metal}*C_{metal}*dT_{metal}=m_{water}*C_{water}*dT_{water}

13.9g * 0.449J/g°C * (54.2°C-15.6°C) = m(H₂O) * 4.184J/g°C * (15.6°C-13.4°C)

240.9J = m(H₂O) * 9.2J/g

<h3>26.2g = Mass of water in the calorimeter</h3>

Why might a scientist repeat an experiment if she did not make a mistake in the first one? A) Scientists who repeat experiments
9966 [12]

Answer:

The correct answer is B) it helps to ensure the result are consistent and repeatable.

Explanation:

Scientist generally repeat an experiment if he or she did not make a mistake in the first one to compare the results of two experiment, if there is no difference in the result or values obtainted from the observation of two experiment. he or she become sure that experiment was done in a right way because if there is some error made when experiment was carried out then the result of two same experiment would be different.

Explain what makes insulative materials work most effectively.
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

Most common insulation materials work by slowing conductive heat flow and--to a lesser extent--convective heat flow. Radiant barriers and reflective insulation systems work by reducing radiant heat gain. To be effective, the reflective surface must face an air space.

Explanation:

To be effective, the reflective surface must face an air space.

Where did the molecules of carbon dioxide come from while the tortilla chip was burning
CaHeK987 [17]
The answer can be explained when you burn something cleanly (with a very hot item) or not. With a candle lots of Carbon dioxide is producted but when using a bunson burner hardly any CO2 is produced.
