A58.1g sample of quartz is put into a calorimeter that contains 250.0g of water. the quartz sample starts off at 98.4°c and the temperature of the water starts off at 25.0°c. when the temperature of the water stops changing it's 27.9°c. the pressure remains constant at 1 atm. calculate the specific heat capacity of quartz according to this experiment. be sure your answer is rounded to the correct number of significant digits.

The speed of sound in ice, water, and steam is shown. what best explains the speed of sound in different states of matter? sound travels fastest in ice because energy is easier to transfer when the molecules are close together. sound travels slowest in steam because the sound has to move around the gas molecules that are far apart. sound travels fastest in ice because the temperature of solids is always greater, so the heat transfers the sound energy. sound travels slowest in steam because the pressure is so great the sound cannot travel though the steam particles.
