A student has a sample of ocean water that they take to science class. what steps could be taken to determine to classify the oc
ean water as a suspension, solution, element, or compound?
A) Examine the pH of the sample. If the pH is exactly neutral, it is a pure substance that is a compound.
B) Evaporate the water. If salt is left behind, the sample is a mixture that can be defined as a solution.
C) Let the sample settle. If the salt settles to the bottom, it is a mixture that is classified as a solution.
D) Observe the diffraction of light as it moved through the sample. If light does not scatter, it is a pure substance that is elemental.

Answer:
The heat absorbed by the sample of water is 3,294.9 J
Explanation:
Calorimetry is the measurement and calculation of the amounts of heat exchanged by a body or a system.
The sensible heat of a body is the amount of heat received or transferred by a body when it undergoes a temperature variation (Δt) without there being a change of physical state (solid, liquid or gaseous). Its mathematical expression is:
Q = c * m * ΔT
Where Q is the heat exchanged by a body of mass m, made up of a specific heat substance c and where ΔT is the temperature variation.
In this case:
- Q=?
- m= 45 g
- c= 4.184
- ΔT= Tfinal - Tinitial= 38.5 C - 21 C= 17.5 C
Replacing:
Q= 4.184 * 45 g* 17.5 C
Solving:
Q=3,294.9 J
