Calculate the heat (in J) required to raise the temperature of 3.02 g of solid silver from 22.3 degrees Celsius so solid silver at 47.0 degrees Celsius?

17.9 joules

Explanation:

The quantity of Heat Energy (Q) required to heat solid silver depends on its Mass (M), specific heat capacity (C) and change in temperature (Φ)

Thus, Q = MCΦ

Given that,

Q = ?

Mass= 3.02g

C = 0.24J/g°C

Φ = (Final temperature - Initial temperature)

= 47°C - 22.3°C = 24.7°C

Then, Q = MCΦ

Q = 3.02g x 0.240J/g°C x 24.7°C

Q = 17.9 Joules

Thus, 17.9 joules of heat isrequired.

the answer is b because, investigating whether another species of moth also drinks tears might be interesting, but it would not directly explain why this species of moth does.

to explain why this species of moth drinks tears, the scientist could ask: "what nutrients that moths need are in elephant tears? "

the scientist could experiment with moth repellent or oter ways to keep the moths away, but that would not answer his original question.
