Answer: The answer is S = 0.1528 cal/g °C
Explanation:
By the law of conservation of energy, energy is neither created nor destroyed.
So, energy lost by metal pieces is equal to the energy gained by water in the calorimeter.
Specific heat of water is 1 cal/g °C
⇒ heat energy Q = mSΔT, where m = mass of a substance
S = specific heat
ΔT = change in temperature
Now, the heat lost by metal piece, Q = 72×S×(96-31)
= 4680×S cal
Heat gained by water, Q = 130×1×(31-25.5)
= 715 cal
⇒ 4680×S = 715.
⇒ S = 0.1528 cal/g °C.
Answer: B, the gas is being squeezed out of the liquid.
Explanation: The gas does not want to be trapped inside of the liquid, so it is trying to force it’s way out. Therefore creating more pressure in the container or whatever the liquid is being held in.
Inconsistent as it can vary from time to time.
Color change
new substance formed
heat or light change
new smell
irreversible
