Answer:

0.213 J/g°C

Explanation:

To calculate specific heat of the metal, the formula is used:

Q = m × c × ∆T

Where Q = amount of heat

m = mass

c = specific heat

∆T = change in temperature

According to this question, Q = 37.7 J, m= 12.5 g, initial temperature= 19.5 °C, final temperature = 33.6°C, c=?

Q = m × c × ∆T

37.7 = 12.5 × c × (33.6-19.5)

37.7 = 12.5c × 14.1

37.7 = 176.25c

c = 37.7/176.25

c = 0.2139

Hence, the specific heat of the metal is 0.213 J/g°C

Answer:

sublime, melt, condense, deposit

Explanation:

1. When ice is warmed at a steady pressure 0.00512 atm, it will be sublime.  

2. It will be melt when ice is warmed at a consistent pressure of 1 atm.

3. If water vapour pressure is continued to increase at a temperature of 100  C, it will be condense.  

4. If water vapour pressure is continued to increase at a temperature of -50 C, it will be deposited.

Compute 4.659×104−2.14×104. Round the answer appropriately.
pentagon [3]

Answer: 25,200.


Explanation:


1) Given: 4.659 × 10⁴ - 2.14 × 10⁴


2) You have to deal with significant figures.


Since, the powers are the same (10⁴) you can directly subtract the decimal numbers. But first analyze the significant figures and the number of decimal digits.


3) The number 4.659 × 10⁴ has four significant figures (4, 6, 5, and 9), while the number 2.14 × 10⁴ has three significan figures (2, 1, and 4).


4) When you add or subtract numbers with diferent amount of decimal digits, the result must show the same number of decimal digits as the term with the least number of decimal digits.


5) Before subtracting, you must round all the terms to the least number of decimal digits. So, since 2.14 has two decimal digits and 4.659 has three decimal digits, you shall round 4.659 to 4.66.


6) Now you subtract 4.66 - 2.14 = 2.52


7) Multiply by the power of 10: 2.52 × 10⁴ = 25,200. And that is the answer.

Explain how interactions between Earth’s spheres keep water cycling between them
Elenna [48]
There are several process in the nature, which keeps water cycling between them. By Precipitation, Earth's sphere gets water which we use in several ways, and by evaporation & sublimation, it goes back to upper spheres of the Earth's atmosphere and cycle happens again & again.

Hope this helps!
