1. Which is the metric standard for measuring energy?

The <u>metric standard for measuring of energy </u>defined by the International System of Units is the joule (J), which is defined as the work done by a force of a newton in a displacement of one meter in the direction of force. So,

1 J = 1 N m = 1 kg·m²/s²

Calorie is also frequently used in scientific and technological applications. Calorie is a <u>unit of thermal energy that is equivalent to the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree Celsius</u>.

1 cal = 4,184 J

2. Which unit is used for specific heat capacity?

The specific heat capacity (c) is a physical quantity that is defined as the <u>amount of heat (</u><u>q</u><u>) that must be supplied to the mass unit of a thermodynamic substance or system to raise its temperature by one unit.</u> So,

c = q / m ΔT

where m is the mass of the substance and ΔT is the temperature increase.

In this way, as heat is a form of energy, the International System of Units expresses the specific heat in <u>joules per kilogram and per kelvin</u> (J kg⁻¹ K⁻¹). Another common unit, not belonging to the SI, is the <u>calorie per gram and per degree centigrade</u> (cal g⁻¹ ° C⁻¹).

3. If you wanted to compare the abilities of olive oil and peanut oil to gain or lose thermal energy, which unit would you use?

You should use units of specific heat capacity (J kg⁻¹ K⁻¹) since, as mentioned above, this is a physical quantity that measures the amount of heat that must be supplied to an specific mass of a substance or system to raise its temperature.

Heat is a thermal energy, so <u>by using heat capacity units you can compare the ability of</u><u> </u><u>olive oil and peanut oil to gain or lose thermal energy by varying its temperature.</u>

On the periodic table, calcium is in group 2. What is true about calcium?
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Calcium is all around us. The average human contains approximately 1kg of calcium, of which 99% is stored in our bones. It is the 5th most abundant element in the earth's crust, occurring widely as calcium carbonate which is more commonly known as limestone. It is also the fifth most abundant dissolved ion in seawater.

Read the descriptions below of two substances and an experiment on each. Decide whether the result of the experiment tells you t
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

Sample A is a mixture

Sample B is a mixture

Explanation:

For sample A, we are told that the originally yellow solid was dissolved and we obtained an orange powder at the bottom of the beaker. Subsequently, only about 30.0 g of solid was recovered out of the 50.0g of solid dissolved. This implies that the solid is not pure and must be a mixture. The other components of the mixture must have remained in solution accounting for the loss in mass of solid obtained.

For sample B, we are told that boiling started at 66.2°C and continued until 76.0°C. The implication of this is that B must be a mixture since it boils over a range of temperatures. Pure substances have a sharp boiling point.

What istope of an atom if it has 29 protons and 36 neutrons?<br>​
Lunna [17]

Answer:

Copper Atoms

Explanation:

All copper atoms have atomic number 29: all their nuclei contain 29 protons. But they also contain uncharged particles called neutrons. In natural copper, the atoms are of two kinds. One has 29 protons and 34 neutrons in the nucleus; the other has 29 protons and 36 neutrons
