When equilibrium has been reached so, according to this formula we can get the specific heat of the unknown metal and from it, we can define the metal as each metal has its specific heat:
Mw*Cw*ΔTw = Mm*Cm*ΔTm
when
Mw → mass of water
Cw → specific heat of water
ΔTw → difference in temperature for water
Mm→ mass of metal
Cw→ specific heat of the metal
ΔTm → difference in temperature for metal
by substitution:
100g * 4.18 * (40-39.8) = 8.23 g * Cm * (50-40)
∴ Cm = 83.6 / 82.3 = 1.02 J/g.°C
when the Cm of the Magnesium ∴ the unknown metal is Mg
Answer:
All substances can be characterized by their unique sets of physical and chemical properties. Properties that can be determined without changing the composition of a substance are referred to as physical properties. Characteristics such as melting point, boiling point, density, solubility, color, odor, etc.
Vertical columns are called groups, or families.
They share similar chemical properties.
Answer: <span>have similar chemical properties</span>
