Answer:

The specific heat of zinc is 0.361 J/g°C

Explanation:

<u>Step 1:</u> Data given

44.0 J needed

Mass of solid zinc = 10.6 grams

Initial temperature = 24.9 °C

Final temperature = 36.4 °C

<u>Step 2</u>: Calculate the specific heat of zinc

Q = m*c*ΔT

⇒ with Q = heat (in Joule) = 44.0 J

⇒ with m = the mass of the solid zinc = 10.6 grams

⇒ with c = the specific heat of the zinc = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒ with ΔT = The change in temperature = T2-T1 = 36.4 °C - 24.9 °C = 11.5 °C

44.0 J = 10.6 grams * c * 11.5°C

c = 44.0 J / (10.6g * 11.5 °C)

c = 0.361 J/g°C

The specific heat of zinc is 0.361 J/g°C

In this system, potential and kinetic energy are ________________ proportional.
brilliants [131]

Answer:

This question is incomplete

Explanation:

There are two major forms of energy; these are potential and kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is the energy present in moving options. Examples include mechanical and electrical energy.

The formula for kinetic energy is 1/2mv² where "m" is mass and "v" is velocity.

While potential energy is the energy present in stationary objects that can be put to use in future. Example includes a ball in its resting state. The formula for potential energy is "mgh" where "m" is mass, "g" is acceleration due to gravity and "h" is height

Considering the law of conservation of energy which states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed but can be transformed from one form to another. Looking at the example provided earlier for potential energy, a ball in its resting position (having a potential energy) when kicked will have a kinetic energy (which can be calculated with the formula provided earlier), hence

Total energy = potential energy (P.E) + kinetic energy (K.E)

This formula and the explanation above can be used to answer the completed question.

NOTE: There is no standard relationship between P.E and K.E. They could be directly or indirectly proportional depending on the circumstance.

Complete the hybridization and bonding scheme for xef4.
Vikentia [17]

<span>Xe = VIII = 8 valence electrons
F = VII = 4 (7 ve) = 28 valence electrons</span>

total ve = 8 + 28 = 36 ve

 

<span>36 - 4(2) = 28 ve
(there are 2 electrons in each bond x 4 bonds)</span>

 

<span>28 - 4(6) = 4 
(We assign the remaining electrons to F atoms)</span>

 

<span>4 - 2(2) = 0 
(Therefore 4 electrons left => we have 2 lone pairs)</span>

 

The steric number = No. of σ bonds + #lone pairs

= 4 σ bonds + 2 lone pairs = 6 => d²sp³ (6 hybrid orbitals)

 

<span>4 bonds + 2 lone pairs => square planar</span>
