Answer
Sounds travel slowest in gasses so it would be air
Answer:
A) Sample B has more calcium carbonate molecules
Explanation:
M = Molar mass of calcium carbonate = 100.0869 g/mol
= Avogadro's number = 
For the 4.12 g sample
Moles of a substance is given by

Number of molecules is given by

For the 19.37 g sample

Number of molecules is given by


So, sample B has more calcium carbonate molecules.
The ratio of the elements of carbon, oxygen, calcium atoms, ions, has to be same in both the samples otherwise the samples cannot be considered as calcium carbonate. Same is applicable for impurities. If there are impurites then the sample cannot be considered as calcium carbonate.
The answer would be A) sand, it is not soluble in water
Answer:
50,849.25 Joules
Explanation:
The amount of heat, Q, required to raise the temperature of a body with mass, m, and specific heat capacity, c is given by:
Q = mcΔT, where ΔT represents the change in temperature.
In the case of the iron block:
m = 75 g
c = 0.449 J/g °C
ΔT = 1535 - 25 = 1510 °C
Therefore,
Q = 75 g x 0.449 J/g °C x 1510 °C
= 50,849.25 Joules
<em>Hence, </em><em>50,849.25 Joules </em><em> of heat must be added to a 75.0-g iron block with a specific heat of 0.449 J/g °C to increase its temperature from 25 °C to its melting temperature of 1535 °C</em>
They are good conductors of heat and electricity.
They are solid at room tempature
They have a high melting point
