A house is built with a granite countertop. The heat capacity of the countertop is 158.5 kJ/°C. A hot pan of water is placed on

the countertop, and 5000 J of heat energy is transferred into the countertop. By how much does the temperature of the countertop change?

The temperature of the countertop changes by 0.032 °C

The quantity of heat transferred to the countertop is given by

Q = CΔT where Q = quantity of heat transferred to the countertop = 5000 J = 5 kJ, C = heat capacity of the countertop = 158.5 kJ/°C and ΔT = temperature change of the countertop.

Since we require the temperature change of the countertop, we make ΔT subject of the formula.

So, ΔT = Q/C

So, substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

ΔT = Q/C

ΔT = 5 kJ/158.5 kJ/°C

ΔT = 0.032 °C

So, the temperature of the countertop changes by 0.032 °C

inna [77]

Answer:

The correct answer is due to the difference in pressure inside and outside the bottle.

Explanation:

Liquids have melting and boiling points that depend on pressure and temperature. The pressure inside the bottle is higher than the pressure outside. This causes the melting point to drop, making the liquid freeze at a lower temperature than if it were at atmospheric pressure, and therefore has a lower temperature than it would freeze at atmospheric pressure. When the bottle is uncovered, the liquid becomes an atmospheric pressure, and due to the temperature acquired when the bottle was closed the liquid freezes.

Have a nice day!

The alternative pathways of photosynthesis using the c4 or cam systems are said to be compromises. why?
frosja888 [35]
 It is because C4 compromises on water loss and CAM compromises on photorespiration. and Both minimize photorespiration but expend more ATP during carbon fixation.

Answer:

The median would be 6700

Explanation:

Arrange data values from lowest to highest value

The median is the data value in the middle of the set

.

Ordering a data set x1 ≤ x2 ≤ x3 ≤ ... ≤ xn from lowest to highest value, the median x˜ is the data point separating the upper half of the data values from the lower half.

If the size of the data set n is odd the median is the value at position p where

Formula for the median

p=n+12

x˜=xp

If n is even the median is the average of the values at positions p and p + 1 where

p=n2

x˜=xp+xp+12

If there are 2 data values in the middle the median is the mean of those 2 values.
