Answer:
<span>In ionic compounds, <u>Metals</u> lose their valence electrons to form positively charged Cations.
Explanation:
Metals have the ability to loose elctrons readily. For example metals of Group IA and Group IIA readily looses electrons in order to obtain Noble Gas Configuration. On the other hand Non-metals tends to gain electrons and acquire negative charge. While Ions are made when an an element gain or loose electrons. After loosing electrons element get positive charge which is called as Cation while on gaining electron it gets negative charge called as Anion.</span>
The specific heat capacity the substance is calculated using the below formula
Q(heat) = Mc delta T
Q =1560 cal
m(mass) 312 g
delta T (change in temperature ) = 15 c
C= specific heat capacity=?
by making c the subject of the formula
c=Q/m delta T
= 1560 cal/ 312g x 15 c = 0.33 cal/g/c (answer B)
The first answer is -.595454 the second answer is -1.9488
