By law of conservation of energy, the amount of heat lost by the metal should be equal to the amount of heat gained by water. That is, the change in energy (expressed in enthalpies) should be equal:

- (ΔH)metal = (ΔH)water

Take note of the negative sign in front of (ΔH)metal, this means that heat is lost by this metal.

Where ΔH or change in enthalpy is:

ΔH = m Cp (T2 – T1)

 

So,

- 15 g (Cp) (23 °C – 99 °C) = 75 g (4.18 J/g * °C) (26 °C – 23 °C)

1,140 Cp = 940.5

<span>Cp = 0.825 J/g * °C           (ANSWER)</span>

An ionic bond is a bond between ____.
exis [7]

An ionic bond is a bond which occurs when there is a difference in the electronegativity of the atoms. One atom which has a stronger electronegativity tends to steal the electron of the other less electronegative atom hence making it more negative (anion), while the other becomes a cation. So answer is:

<span>b. a cation and an anion</span>

What happened to a balloon when it is put in freezer
e-lub [12.9K]

The frozen balloon shrank because the average kinetic energy of the gas molecules in a balloon decreases when the temperature decreases. This makes the molecules move more slowly and have less frequent and weaker collisions with the inside wall of the balloon, which causes the balloon to shrink a little.

A certain first-row transition metal ion forms many different colored solutions. When four coordination compounds of this metal,
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

From the analysis we have in the question, we must look towards a first row transition metal ion having a d^6 configuration because it yields a paramagnetic complex having four unpaired electrons and a diamagnetic complex having no unpaired electrons.

We have two possible candidates in mind, Fe^2+ and Co^3+. However, Fe^2+  does not form as many coloured complexes as stated in the question so we have to eliminate that option.

We are now left with only Co^3+. Various ligands are going to cause these various colours of Co^3+ to appear in solution.

Hence, we can deduce from all these that the nature of ligands determines the colour of the complex . Don't forget that the colour of a complex arises from crystal field splitting.
