A 14.00-g piece of iron absorbs 1000 joules of heat energy, and its temperature changes from 25°C to 125°C. Calculate the specific heat capacity of iron.

THE SPECIFIC HEAT OF IRON IS 0.714 J/g °C

Explanation:

Heat  absorbed = 1000 J

Mass of the piece of iron = 14 g

Temeperature changes = ( 125-25)°C= 100°C

specific heat of iron = unknown

To find the specific heat of iron in the question use the formula of heat

Heat = mass * specific heat * temperature change

Specific heat = Heat / mass * temperature change

Specific heat = 1000 / 14 * 100

Specific heat = 1000 / 1400

Specific heat = 0.714 J/g °C

So therefore, the specific heat of iron is 0.714 J/g °C

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.
