Carbon, Lead and Silicon all have the same amount of valence electrons as Germanium. This can be determined by looking at their position on the periodic table. Within each column (group) all the elements have the same amount of valence electrons. This explains why they will all have very similar chemical properties.
Answer: The answer is S = 0.1528 cal/g °C
Explanation:
By the law of conservation of energy, energy is neither created nor destroyed.
So, energy lost by metal pieces is equal to the energy gained by water in the calorimeter.
Specific heat of water is 1 cal/g °C
⇒ heat energy Q = mSΔT, where m = mass of a substance
S = specific heat
ΔT = change in temperature
Now, the heat lost by metal piece, Q = 72×S×(96-31)
= 4680×S cal
Heat gained by water, Q = 130×1×(31-25.5)
= 715 cal
⇒ 4680×S = 715.
⇒ S = 0.1528 cal/g °C.
Answer:
Heat transferred, Q = 1542.42 J
Explanation:
Given that,
Mass of water, m = 30 grams
Initial temperature, 
Final temperature, 
We need to find the energy transferred. The energy transferred is given by :
c is specific heat of water, c = 4.18 J/g °C
So,
So, 1542.42 J of energy is transferred.
Well, 2 litres is 2 kilograms. 1000 grams = 1 kilogram
So that means that 2 litres of water = 2000 grams
