A piece of a metal having a mass of 150.0000 grams is heated to 99.3 9C. When the hot metal is submerged in 50.000 grams of water originally at 21.3 oC, the final temperature of the water and metal is 48.4 pC. Determine the heat flow (q) of the water in Joules Record your answer to the correct number of significant figures

Explanation:

q = heat added to water = mass x specific heat of water x rise in temperature

= 50.0000 x 1 x ( 48.4 - 21.3 )

= 1355.0 cals

= 1355.0 x 4.2 J

= 5691.0 J

q = 5691

= 5690 J  ( rounding off to significant no of  3 )

acid rain does not usually kill trees directly. instead, it is more likely to weaken the trees by damaging their leaves, limiting the nutrients available to them, or poisoning them with toxic substances slowly released from the soil. the main atmospheric pollutants that affect trees are nitrates and sulphates.

the ozone layer acts as a filter for the shorter wavelength and highly hazardous ultraviolet radiation (uvr) from the sun, protecting life on earth from its potentially harmful effects. when the sky is clear, there is an inverse relationship between stratospheric ozone and solar uvr measured at the earth's surface.
