How much heat is required to raise the temperature of a 825 g block of wood (specific
neat = 1.8 J/g°C) from 22.0°C to 155.0°C?

Q = 197505J

Explanation:

Mass (m) = 825g

Specific heat capacity (c) = 1.8J/g°C

Initial temperature (T1) = 22°C

Final temperature (T2) = 155°C

Heat energy (Q) = ?

Q = mc∇t

Q = mc(T2 - T1)

Q = 825 * 1.8 * (155 - 22)

Q = 1485 * 133

Q = 197505J

The heat energy required to raise it through that temperature is 197505J

a rain shadow is a dry region of land on the side that is protected against the prevailing winds of a mountain range. the prevailing winds are the winds that occur most of the time in a particular place of the earth

prevailing winds carry air toward the mountain range. as the air rises up over a mountain range, the air cools, water vapor condenses, and clouds form. on this side of the mountains, called the windward side, precipitation falls in the form of  rain  or snow. this dry air produces a  rain shadow.

in 1783 cavendish was working with his hydrogen gas and found that when he burned it and condensed the vapor it was water. this was very significant since it disproved the greek theory of elements completely since water was not a simple substance but the product of two gases. it was lavoisier who hearing of the experiment gave cavendish's gas the name hydrogen ("water-producer") and added that hydrogen burned by combining with oxygen and that water was a hydrogen-oxygen combination.
