<u>Given</u> :
- Amount = 20 kg
- Heat energy absorbed = 237,000 J
- Temperature change = 15 °C
<u>Formula applied</u> :
- Q = absorbed heat
- m = mass
- c = specific heat capacity
- ΔT = temperature change
Let's solve for c !
⇒ 237,000 = 20 × c × 15
⇒ c = 237,000 ÷ 300
⇒ 
∴ The specific heat capacity of granite is <u>790 J kg⁻¹ K⁻¹</u>.
If by Period you mean Column, they share the same amount of electrons in their outer shell.
The mass number is equal to the number of protons plus the number of neutrons. From the periodic table, we can see that chromium has an atomic number of 24, which means its nucleus contains 24 protons. ... Therefore, the chromium-52 isotope contains 28 neutrons in its nucleus.
The statement in option B is not correct. B is the correct answer. This is because nuclear fission usually occur in large unstable isotopes, which are bombarded with high speed particles like neutrons, which make them to split into smaller particles. The statement in option A, C and D are true about nuclear fission.
