An unknown metal has a mass of 77.3 g. When 3610 J of heat are added to the sample, the sample temperature changes by 52.1 ∘C. Calculate the specific heat of the unknown metal. Metal Specific heat (J/g⋅∘C) aluminum 0.897 tin 0.210 strontium 0.301 barium 0.204 calcium 0.650 nickel 0.440

specific heat = .897 J /g°C

Explanation:

Quantity of heat added = mass x specific heat x rise in temperature

3610 = 77.3 x specific heat x 52.1

specific heat = .897 J /g°C

Unknown metal is Aluminium .

a mercury barometer is a device that uses the physical properties of mercury in a tube to measure barometric pressure. mercury barometers are used for : -

1. measurement of atmospheric pressure  

2. determining the altitude of a place

3. weather forecasting

4. calibration and checking of aneroid barometers

5. application in fluid mechanics

6. measurement of pressure in aircrafts

7. surface weather analysis

8. preparation of barographs

9. usage in physical sciences like physics, astronomy & chemistry

10. preparation of aircraft altimeters

characteristics of mercury barometer : -

1.used to define and measure atmospheric pressure.

2.on the average at sea level the column of mercury rises to a height of about 760 mm.

3.this quantity is equal to 1 atmosphere.

4.it is also known as standard atmospheric pressure.

5.a barometer in which the weight of a column of mercury in a glass tube with a sealed top is balanced against that of the atmosphere pressing on an exposed cistern of mercury at the base of the mercury column, the height of the column varying with atmospheric pressure.
