<span>An alpine glacier can change the topography of a mountainous area through Glacial Erosion and Glacial Deposition. Glaciers are agents of erosion, it can pick up and carry large rocks and sediments. In the process, a deep cavity or hole can form when the glacier plucks a big rock from where it passed. Glaciers have shaped many Mountain Ranges and have created distinct landforms by its erosion process. In Glacial Deposition, as glaciers melt, it deposits all that it carried and a landform is developed.</span>

An unknown substance has a mass of 11.9 g . When the substance absorbs 1.071×102 J of heat, the temperature of the substance is

Mashcka [7]

Answer: The most likely identity of the substance is iron.

Explanation:

The quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of a substance by one degree Celsius is called the specific heat capacity.

$Q=m\times c\times \Delta T$

Q = Heat absorbed= $1.071\times 10^2$ Joules

m= mass of substance = 11.9 g

c = specific heat capacity = ?

Initial temperature of the water = $T_i$ = 25.0°C

Final temperature of the water = $T_f$ = 45.0°CChange in temperature , $\Delta T=T_f-T_i=(45-25)^0C=20^0C$

Putting in the values, we get:

$1.071\times 10^2=11.9\times c\times 20^0C$

$c=0.45J/g^0C$

The specific heat of 0.45 is for iron and thus the substance is iron.
