a) The E might belong to group 13.

As the formula of a chemical compound is derived by the cross multiplication of the valency of the atoms. As formula of the given oxide is and valency of O atom is -2, therefore valency of element E must be +3 in order to obtain E2O3.

Also, in EF3, the valency of E will be +3 because there are three atoms of fluorine who has an individual valency of -1. Thus, e will have the valency of +3.

The Group 13 is the boron group which has the following elements:

Boron
Aluminium
Gallium
Indium
Thallium

All these elements have the valency of +3.

Water can be formed in the following reaction:

andreev551 [17]

Answer is: 10 moles of water will be produced.

Balanced chemical reaction of formation of water:

2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O.

n(H₂) = 10 mol; amount of hydrogen gas.

From balanced chemical reaction: n(H₂) : n(H₂O) = 2 : 2 (1 : 1).

n(H₂O) = n(H₂).

n(H₂O) = 10 mol; amount of water.

Calculate: A. Mercury has a specific Heat Capacity of 0.14 J/goC. How much heat is needed to raise the thermometer temperature 1

kari74 [83]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 56 \ Joules}}$

Explanation:

We are given the mass, specific heat, and temperature, so we must use this formula for heat energy.

$q=mc \Delta T$

The mass is 5 grams, the specific heat capacity is 0.14 Joules per gram degree Celsius. Let's find the change in temperature.

ΔT= final temperature - initial temperature
ΔT= 95°C - 15°C = 80°C

We know the variables and can substitute them into the formula.

$m= 5 \ g \\c= 0.14 \ J/ g \ \textdegree C \\\Delta T= 80 \ \textdegree C$

$q= (5 \ g )( 0.14 \ J/ g \ \textdegree C ) ( 80 \ \textdegree C)$

Multiply the first numbers. The grams will cancel.

$q= 0.7 \ J/ \textdegree C(80 \ \textdegree C )$

Multiply again. This time the degrees Celsius cancel.

$q= 56 \ J$

56 Joules of heat are needed.
