<u>Answer:</u> The specific heat of metal is 0.821 J/g°C

<u>Explanation:</u>

When metal is dipped in water, the amount of heat released by metal will be equal to the amount of heat absorbed by water.

Heat_{\text{absorbed}}=Heat_{\text{released}}

The equation used to calculate heat released or absorbed follows:

Q=m\times c\times \Delta T=m\times c\times (T_{final}-T_{initial})

m_1\times c_1\times (T_{final}-T_1)=-[m_2\times c_2\times (T_{final}-T_2)]       ......(1)

where,

q = heat absorbed or released

m_1 = mass of metal = 30 g

m_2 = mass of water = 100 g

T_{final} = final temperature = 25°C

T_1 = initial temperature of metal = 110°C

T_2 = initial temperature of water = 20.0°C

c_1 = specific heat of metal = ?

c_2 = specific heat of water = 4.186 J/g°C

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

30\times c_1\times (25-110)=-[100\times 4.186\times (25-20)]

c_1=0.821J/g^oC

Hence, the specific heat of metal is 0.821 J/g°C

When 35.0 mL of 0.400 M hydrobromic acid and 35.0 mL of 0.400 M ammonia are combined, the pH of the resulting solution will be :
Kay [80]

Answer:

B. Equal to 7.

Explanation:

Hydrobromic acid is a strong acid that decreases pH and ammonia is a strong base that increases pH.

As the initial pH of water is 7,0 the addition of 35.0mL of 0.400M HBr will produce a pH less than 7,0. But, the same effect of decreasing pH is reverted for the addition of 35.0mL of 0.400M HNO3.

That means the net effect of the two addition is to have a pH:

B. Equal to 7.

Describe how experimental evidence led each of the following scientists: Dalton, Rutherford, Thompson, Chadwick and Bohr, to dev
nasty-shy [4]
Dalton Found out there was a small, hard indestructible sphere that is the smalles part of an element.He created his own Atomic Theory:
-All Matter is made up of small particles called atoms.
-Atoms cannot be created, destroyed, or divided into smaller particles.
-All atoms of the same element are identical in mass and size. The atoms of one element are different in mass and size from the atoms of other elements.
<span>-Compounds are created when atoms of different elements link together in definite proportions.
</span><span>Rutherford had found the positively charged nucleus in the middle of every atom using his Gold Foil Experiment. While doing this experiment, he expected these particles to just pass right through the foil but they bounced right back. He also proposed there were negatively charged electrons revolving around the nucleus.
</span><span>Thompson found negative electrons and inferred atoms also contain negative particles. He inferred there was a lump of positively charged material, with negative electrons throughout. He used the Raisins Bun Model to explain. 
</span>Chadwick <span>proved that it consisted of a neutral particle with about the same mass as a proton "Neutron"  is the name given to the particle</span>
Bohr 
believed Rutherford's prediction was correct, but it wasn't complete. Bohr proposed electrons could only move between energy levels, rather then being able to move everywhere.
