What's one cause of the heat island effect? a. reduced rainfall in urban areas b. higher albedo in urban areas c. lower albedo in urban areas d. pollution of groundwater

The energy released by a chemical reaction can be measured using a calorimeter. when barium hydroxide octahydrate crystals are reacted with dry ammonium chloride inside of a coffee cup calorimeter, the temperature of the 18.00 g of water in the calorimeter decreases from 30.0°c to 8.0°c. the equation for calculating energy absorbed or released by a reaction is: where q is the energy released or absorbed, m is the mass of water in the calorimeter, cp is the specific heat of water, and δt is the observed temperature change. if the specific heat of liquid water is 4.19 j/g·°c, how much energy was absorbed by the reaction?

The force acting on a beam was measured under the same operating conditions and a sample of 5 data points was collected. this process was repeated by 3 observers. the pooled standard deviations of these 3 data sets was 1.21. determine the true mean force using all pooled data (with a 95% probability). the result should look like this: true mean = mean +/- margin of error

Mutt and jeff are running along a path each pushing a cart loaded with rocks. if mutt's wagon has a mass two times greater than jeff's and they want to stay together, arriving at their destination at the same time, what must happen? a) jeff should slow down so mutt can catch up. b) mutt must use half as much force to push his cart. c) mutt must use twice as much force to push his cart. d) mutt and jeff will use the same force, but mutt will take bigger steps.
