Answer:
Mountain ranges are formed by a variety of geological processes, but most of the significant ones on Earth are the result of plate tectonics. Mountain ranges are also found on many planetary mass objects in the Solar System and are likely a feature of most terrestrial planets.
Given :
A 250 ml beaker weighs 13.473 g .
The same beaker plus 2.2 ml of water weighs 15.346 g.
To Find :
How much does the 2.2 ml of water, alone, weigh .
Solution :
Now, mass of water is given by :
Therefore , mass of 2.2 ml of water alone is 1.873 g .
Hence , this is the required solution .
From the equation q=mCΔT, set the q of copper = to q of water,
So --- mCΔT(copper)=mCΔT(water).
mass (Cu - copper) = 38g
mass (H2O - water) = 15g
C (H2O) = 4.184 J/g*C
ΔΤ (H2O) = 33-22 = 11*C
ΔΤ (Cu) = 33-80 = -47*C (the final temp is the same for both materials - thermal equilibrium)
C (Cu) = ?
So --- 38(-47)C[Cu]=15(4.184)(11)
--- C[Cu]=690.36/(-1786) = 0.3865 J/g*C, or 0.39 in 2 sig figs. (The negative goes away, because specific heats are usually positive)
