Explanation:

When an atom has an equal number of electrons and protons, it has an equal number of negative electric charges (the electrons) and positive electric charges (the protons). The total electric charge of the atom is therefore zero and the atom is said to be neutral. ... Chemically, we say that the atoms have formed bonds.

How much heat energy is required to raise the temperature of 0.367 kg of copper from 23.0 C to 60.0 C ? The specific heat of cop

mojhsa [17]

Note: We must keep the units we use consistent. The Cp is given in cal/gC so we will use cal for energy, grams for mass and C for temperature.
1)
Heat supplied can be calculated using:
Q = mCpΔT; where m is the mass, Cp is the specific heat capacity and ΔT is the temperature change.
Q = 367 x 0.092 x (60 - 23)
Q = 125 Cal

2)
Using the same equation:
125 = 60 x 0.092 x (T - 23)
T = 45.6 C

What volume of a 0.2089 M KI solution contains enough KI to react exactly with the Cu(NO3)2 in 40.88 mL of a 0.3842 M solution o

tatyana61 [14]

Explanation:

As molarity is the number of moles placed in a liter of solution. Therefore, no. of mole = Molarity × volume of solution in liter

Hence, moles of $Cu(NO_{3})_{2}$ will be calculated as follows.
