Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

The formula for this is

Heat = m * c * Δt

Givens

Heat = unknown

m = 200 grams

c = 4.184 Joules / grams oC

Δt = the change in temperature = 35.7 - 22.3 = 13.4

Solution

Heat = 200 * 4.184 * 13.4

Heat = 11213 Joules

Heat = 11.2 Kj

It's hard to get the correct number of sig digs because the 200 is not qualified in any way.

Part 2.

This can really puzzle you until you know that heat given up = the heat taken on. The heat taken on was 11.2 Kj. The Butane lighter must have given that heat on.

Heat of Combustion = Heat Given Up / Number grams burned.

Heat of Combustion = 11.2 Kj / 0.23 grams

Heat of Combustion = 48.8 Kj / gram

How do you multiply a mixed fraction by a regular fraction

Dmitriy789 [7]

Well, you first have to make the mixed fraction into an improper fraction. You then multiply the two fractions and ad the whole number into the total.

That's how i was taught back in the 4th grade... i'm not sure if it's correct but i hope it is-

A landscaper has 10 2/5 cubic yards of peat moss in a truck. If he unloads 2 2/3 cubic yards at the first site and 2 1/4 cubic y

Vikentia [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem bothers on fractions, here we are being presented with mixed fractions.

what we are going to do bascially is to subtract the sum of all the uloaded

peat moss in sites 1 and 2 to get from the peat moss to get the remaining for the third site

therefore

$10\frac{2}{5}-(2\frac{2}{3}+ 2\frac{1}{4})$

we then have to convert the mixed fraction to further simplify the problem we have

$\frac{52}{5}-(\frac{8}{3}+ \frac{9}{4})$

we then solve the fraction to the right of the negative symbol first

$=\frac{52}{5}-(\frac{8}{3}+ \frac{9}{4})\\\\=\frac{52}{5}-\frac{32+27}{12} \\\\=\frac{52}{5}-\frac{59}{12} \\\\\=\frac{624-295}{60} \\\\=\frac{329}{60}$
