The heat cause 300g water temperature increase from 20 to 26 celcius. The heat transferred would be: 300g * (26 °C -20 °C) *4.2 joule/gram °C= 7560J

The unknown substance is added to the water, so its final temperature should be the same as the water. The calculation would be:

7560J= 124g * (100-26)* specific heat

specific heat= 7560J / 124g / 74 °C= 0.8238 J/gram °C

An acid-base reaction will always produce water and which one of the
Nonamiya [84]

Answer: Option D) Salt

Explanation:

An example of acid-base reaction is

HCl(aq) + NaOH(aq) → NaCl(aq) + H2O(l)

Acid + base → Salt + Water.

Here, water H2O and salt, NaCl are produced.

Usually, the acid, aqeous HCl reacts completely with an appropriate amount of the base, aqueous NaOH to produce salt, aqueous NaCl and water, liquid H2O only, in a process also known as neutralization reaction

How many moles of N2O3 contain 2.55 × 1024 oxygen atoms
Varvara68 [4.7K]
1mol   ------------   3×6,02×10²³ oxygen atoms
x          ------------   2,55×10²⁴

x = 2,5×10²⁴ × 1mol / 3×6,02×10²³ ≈ 0,138*10 mol = 1,38mol
