If it takes 125 joules to heat a piece of gold weighing 35 g from 18.0 °C to 43.0 °C, what is the specific heat of the gold?

1 answer:

3 0

The specific heat of the gold is 1.67 (=125/(3*(43-18)) joule/ gram oC based on its heat energy, change in temperature and mass. This problem can be solved using the heat energy formula which stated as Q=c*m*(deltaT). In this formula, Q is the heat energy, c is the specific heat, m is the object's mass, and deltaT is the change in the temperature of the reaction.

The number of hydrogen atoms are 304

Solution:

Given that a water molecule is made up of three atoms

Number of atoms in water molecule = 3 atoms

1/3 of the atoms are oxygen and the remaining Adams are hydrogen

$Number\ of\ oxygen\ atoms = \frac{1}{3}\\\\Number\ of\ hydrogen\ atoms = 3 - \frac{1}{3} = \frac{8}{3}$

There are 114 water molecules

8/3 of water molecule is hydrogen

Therefore, number of hydrogen atoms is given as:

$Number\ of\ hydrogen\ atoms = \frac{8}{3} \times 114\\\\Number\ of\ hydrogen\ atoms = 8 \times 38\\\\Number\ of\ hydrogen\ atoms = 304$

Thus number of hydrogen atoms are 304

For each exponential function, a) write a new function, and b) sketch the corresponding graph (on the same coordinate plane) bas

Luda [366]

A reflection over the y-axis means that "x" will change signs.

A dilation causes the graph to stretch (if the factor is greater than 1) or shrink/compress (if the factor is between 0 and 1). Usually, the instructions will say whether it is a vertical or horizontal stretch (or shrink) so you know which variable is affected. Since it was not specified, I am going to assume that this is both a vertical and a horizontal shrink.

Answer: y = $\frac{1}{2}$ ( $4^{-2x}$ )
