(a)
Interpretation:
Whether the statement “Each year after 1950 had an average global temperature higher than 1901-2000 average temperature” is true or false should be determined.
Concept introduction:
Earth is the planet that holds a variety of climates ranges from extreme cold at poles and heat at the equator. The global climate can be said as an average of regional climates. The history shows that the global climate gets cooled and also gets warm. The diverse climate such as extreme cold, sunny, dry, windy, and humid of the earth occurs because the earth revolves around the sun.
(b)
Interpretation:
Whether the statement “average global temperature before 1940was lower than 1901-2000 average temperature” is true or false should be determined.

- A 63.5-g piece of an unknown metal is heated to 92.40°C and quickly added to 100.0 g of water in a calorimeter. The initially temperature of water is 25.00°C and the final temperature of water and metal is 28.72°C. Ignoring the heat absorbed by the calorimeter, calculate the specific heat of metal.

Explain.arrow_forwardA 39 g aluminum spoon (specific heat 0.904 J/g-°C) at 25°C is placed in 178 mL (177 g) of coffee at 84°C and the temperature of the two become equal. (a) What is the final temperature (in °C) when the two become equal? (Assume that coffee has the same specific heat as water, 4.1801 J/g.°C.) 4.0 °C (b) The first time a student solved this problem she got an answer of 87°C. Explain why this is clearly an incorrect answer. O The temperature of the spoon should decrease when it is exposed to the coffee. O Coffee is always lukewarm by the time you get around to drink it, and so is the spoon. O The temperature of the coffee cannot increase when a colder spoon is placed in it. O The student forgot to convert the temperature to kelvins when working this problem.
