Answer : The specific heat of the substance is 0.0936 J/g °C
Explanation :
The amount of heat Q can be calculated using following formula.

Where Q is the amount of heat required = 300 J
m is the mass of the substance = 267 g
ΔT is the change in temperature = 12°C
C is the specific heat of the substance.
We want to solve for C, so the equation for Q is modified as follows.

Let us plug in the values in above equation.


C = 0.0936 J/g °C
The specific heat of the substance is 0.0936 J/g°C
Answer:
8.3334%
Explanation:
You have two masses. To find the percent of sodium chloride in water by mass, you divide the mass of NaCl by water. First, make both units the same. Easiest is to convert kg into g. 1.5kg = 1500g
125g NaCl/1500g H2O = 0.0833333333 ==> 8.3334%
Explanation:
As you move across the periodic table, the number of protons and neutrons increases but the number of orbital levels of the period remains the same. The atomic radii therefore decrease, across the period, because the increase in proton number causes an increased pull of the orbital electrons bringing them closer to the nucleus.
As you move down a group in a periodic table, the number of orbital levels increase. The effective nuclear charge of the nucleus of the atoms decreases due to the increased number of orbital levels that shield the valence electrons from the attractive force nucleus.
