Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

Density = mass/ volume; mass of ethanol = 0.80  25 = 20. g;
Heat = mass  specific heat  difference in temperature
= 20.  0.581  10 = 120 cal = 490 joules

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
