To determine:
The metal that uses least amount of heat energy during cooking out of the given metals.
Introduction:
Energy is the capacity to do work. There are many forms of energy like kinetic energy, potential energy, heat energy, and chemical energy.
Heat energy increases the temperature of the system as well as its surrounding. It is the kinetic energy flowing from the body at higher temperature to the body at lower temperature.
Thermal conductivity is the property of metal by which it conducts heat. Its value provides the information whether the metal is a good or bad conductor of heat.
Specific heat capacity is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of
Specific heat of a substance is given by the expression,

- Confronted with the box shown in the diagram, you wish to discover something about its internal workings. You have no tools and cannot open the box. You pull on rope B, and it moves rather freely. When you pull on rope A, rope C appears to be pulled slightly into the box. When you pull on rope C, rope A almost disappears into the box. a. Based on these observations, construct a model for the interior mechanism of the box. b. What further experiments could you do to refine your model?arrow_forwardA gram of gasoline produces 45.0 kJ of energy when burned. Gasoline has a density of 0.77 g/mL. How would you calculate the amount of energy produced by burning 44. L of gasoline? Set the math up. But don't do any of it. Just leave your answer as a math expression.

- The diagram on the left represents the result of a process. Which of the diagrams [(i) to (iii)]could represent the starting material if the process were physical, and which could represent the starting material if the change were chemical?arrow_forwardExpressing amounts of energy in different energy units is necessary to solve many chemistry problems. For practice, complete the following table. The Joule (J) is the SI unit of energy. 1 calorie (cal) 4.184) 1 kWh = 3.600 x 105 3 245 kWh 200 kcal 338arrow_forwardA solid white substance A is heated strongly in the absence of air. It decomposes to form a new white substance B and a gas C. The gas has exactly the same properties as the product obtained when carbon is burned in an excess of oxygen. Based on these observations, can we determine whether solids A and B and gas C are elements or compounds? Explain your conclusions for each substance.arrow_forward
- You have a mole of ping pong balls and want to ship them to a near-by town. You have packing boxes that measure 24 inches by 24 inches by 18 inches. How many boxes do you need to pack up all the ping pong balls? The radius of a ping pong ball is 20 mm. If you make any approximations or assumptions, please list them.arrow_forwardElectrical energy is usually measured in kiloWatt-hours, kWh. A Watt is 1 joule per second. A kiloWatt is 1000 joules per second. An hour has 3600 seconds. Therefore 1 kWh = 3.6x106 joules. How many kWh are there in a meal that is 776 Cal, or nutritional calories? Just put in the number. The assumption is the unit is kWh. 1 Nutritional Cal = 1 kcal (exact) 1 cal = 4.184 joules (exact) kilo 103 (exact) 1 kWh = 3.6x106 joules (exact) =arrow_forwardYou heat 2.53 grams of metallic mercury in air, which produces 2.73 grams of red-orange residue. Assume that the chemical change is the reaction of the metal with oxygen in the air. What is the mass of oxygen that react? When you strongly heat the red- orange residue, it decomposes to give her back the mercury and release the oxygen, which you collect. What is the mass of oxygen you collected?arrow_forward
- 100 mL of water is already in the calorimeter. Use the density of water at 25°C (0.997 g/mL) to determine the mass from the volume and record it in the data table. Mass water: 99.7 | g 3.
