Answer:

100Jkg/°C

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of metal  = 2kg

Amount of heat energy  = 1600J

Initial temperature  = 5°C

Final temperature = 13°C

Unknown:

Specific heat capacity of the metal  = ?

Solution:

Specific heat capacity of a body is the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of unit mass of a body by 1°C.

  H  = m x C x (T₂ - T₁ )

H is the amount of heat

m is the mass

C is the unknown specific heat capacity

T is the temperature

     Insert the parameters and solve;

  1600 = 2 x C x (13 - 5)

   1600  = 16C

        C = 100Jkg/°C

From each drop-down menu, a solid has (a definite volume and a definite shape), a Liquid has (a definite volume) and gas has ( non of the above)

<h3>The features of different states of Matter:</h3>

Matter is defined as anything that has weight and occupies space.

There are three states of matter that is in existence which include:

  • Solid: The particles of solid are closely packed together and vibrate around fixed axes. That is why they have a definite shape and volume.

  • Liquid: The particles of liquid, though attracted to each other,move freely over each other. That is why they have definite volume but not a definite shape.

Therefore, a liquid occupies the shape of its container.

  • Gas: The particles of gas contain scattered molecules that are dispersed across a given volume.

Therefore, a gas neither has a definite shape nor volume.
