Solution

Answer

The answer is sad.

Explanation
Option 1: Favorite

The prefix "lachrym-" refers to tears, and the suffix "-ose" means having many. "Favorite" does not relate to tears or having many of something, so this option is incorrect.

Option 2: Romantic

While romantic songs can sometimes evoke tears, the word "lachrymose" specifically refers to something that causes tears or is tearful, which is more directly related to sadness than romance.

Option 3: Sad

The prefix "lachrym-" means tears, and the suffix "-ose" means having many. Therefore, "lachrymose" describes something that is tearful or induces tears, which aligns with the meaning of "sad."

Option 4: Upbeat

"Upbeat" is typically associated with happiness and positivity, which is the opposite of what "lachrymose" implies. Therefore, this option is incorrect.

A chemical reaction takes place inside a flask submerged in a water bath. The water bath contains 7.80 kg of water at 27.4 °C. During the reaction 57.5 kJ of heat flows out of the flask and into the bath. Calculate the new temperature of the water bath. You can assume the specific heat capacity of water under these conditions is 4.18 J ⋅ g^-1 ⋅ K^-1. Round your answer to 3 significant digits.
