Answer:

Explanation: In the previous section we listed four characteristics of radioactivity and nuclear decay that form the basis for the use of radioisotopes in the health and biological sciences. A fifth characteristic of nuclear reactions is that they release enormous amounts of energy. The first nuclear reactor to achieve controlled nuclear disintegration was built in the early 1940s by Enrico Fermi and his colleagues at the University of Chicago. Since that time, a great deal of effort and expense has gone into developing nuclear reactors as a source of energy. The nuclear reactions presently used or studied by the nuclear power industry fall into two categories: fission reactions and fusion reactions

An atom of gold has a mass of 3.271 x 10-22g. How many atoms of gold are in 5.00g of gold?
rosijanka [135]
To get the number of gold atoms, you have to divide the mass of the gold by the mass of the gold atom. It follows this simple equation  \frac{mass of gold}{mass of gold atom}. 

Let x be the number of gold atoms. Plug in the values to a calculator.

x = \frac{5.00g}{3.271 x 10-22g}
Both have the same units so the unit gram(g) can be cancelled. 
x then would be equal to 1.53x10^22. So there are 1.53x10^22 atoms of gold in 5 g of gold

Louisa put a bowl of water and a bowl of sand in the sun. She put a thermometer in each bowl. Then she recorded the temperature
Helen [10]

The experiment that was carried out by Louisa goes to show us that different materials heat up at different rates.

<h3>What is the specific heat capacity?</h3>

The term specific heat capacity just goes to show us the amount of heat that must be absorbed before the temperature of an object would rise by 1 K. In this case, we can see that we have been told that the after 30 minutes, the sand had heated more than the water. This simply implies that the energy that the sand and the water absorbed was able to increase the temperature of the sand mush more than it increased the temperature of the water.

Thus we can see that the heat capacity of the sand is much less than the heat capacity of the water since the sand could be able to be heated up much faster than the the water could be heated up.

If 0.959J of heat is added to 0.88g of water, how much will its temperature increase
ss7ja [257]

Answer:

0.260 Celsius

Explanation:

q =c x m x (T2-T1)

c - specific heat of water 4.186 J/g.C

T2-T1 = q /(c x m) = 0.959 /(4.186 x 0.88) = 0.959/3.68 =0.260 C
