Valence electrons are the electrons that are in an atom's outermost layer.
Every atom is made of protons, neutrons, and electrons.
Electrons are outside them both.
They have energy levels (number of electrons per layer)
And the number they have on the farthest layer are the valence electrons.

Valence Electrons are electrons in the outermost lay. They are also involved in the bonding of adjacent atoms.

Hope I helped (:

A coffee-cup calorimeter contains 140.0 g of water at 25.1°C . A 124.0-g block of copper metal is heated to 100.4°C by putting i

Kisachek [45]

Answer:

(a) 3347 J; (b) 3043 J; (c) 58 J/K; (d) 35.5 °C

Explanation:

(a) Heat lost by copper

The formula for the heat lost or gained by a substance is

q =mCΔT

ΔT = T₂ - T₁= 30.3 °C - 100.4 °C = -70.1 °C = -70.1 K

q = 124.0 g × 0.385 J·K⁻¹g⁻¹ × (-70.1 K) = -3347 J

The negative sign shows that heat is lost.

The copper block has lost 3347 J.

(b) Heat gained by water

ΔT = 30.3 °C - 25.1 °C = 5.2 °C = 5.2 K

q = 140.0 g × 4.18 J·K⁻¹g⁻¹ × 5.2 K = 3043 J

The water has gained 3043 J.

(c) Heat capacity of calorimeter

Heat lost by Cu = heat gained by water + heat gained by calorimeter

The temperature change for the calorimeter is the same as that for the water.

ΔT = 5.2 K

$\begin{array}{rcl}\text{3347 J} & = & \text{3043 J} + C \times \text{5.2 K}\\\text{304 J} & = & 5.2C \text{ K}\\C & = & \dfrac{\text{304 J}}{\text{5.2 K}}\\\\& = & \text{58 J/K}\\\end{array}$

The heat capacity of the calorimeter is 58 J/K.

(d) Final temperature of water

$\begin{array}{rcl}\text{Heat lost by copper } + \text{Heat gained by water}& = &0 \\\text{Heat lost by copper}& = &-\text{Heat gained by water} \\m_{\text{Cu}}C_{\text{Cu}}\Delta T_{\text{Cu}}& = & -m_{\text{w}}C_{\text{w}}\Delta T_{\text{w}}\\\end{array}\\$

$\begin{array}{rcl}\text{124.0 g} \times \text{0.385 J$\cdot$K$^{-1}$g$^{-1}$}\times \Delta T_{\text{Cu}}& = & -\text{140.0 g} \times 4.18 \text{ J$\cdot$ K$^{-1}$g$^{-1}$}\times \Delta T_{\text{w}}\\\text{47.7 J$\cdot$K$^{-1}$}\times \Delta T_{\text{Cu}}& = &-\text{585 J$\cdot$ K$^{-1}$g}\times \Delta T_{\text{w}}\\\Delta T_{\text{Cu}} & = & -12.26\Delta T_{\text{w}}\\\end{array}$

$\begin{array}{rcl}\Delta T_{\text{f}} - 100.4 \, ^{\circ}\text{C} & = & -12.26(\Delta T_{\text{f}} - 30.3\, ^{\circ}\text{C})\\\Delta T_{\text{f}} - 100.4 \, ^{\circ}\text{C} & = & -12.26\Delta T_{\text{f}} + 371\, ^{\circ}\text{C}\\13.26\Delta T_{\text{f}} & = & 471\, ^{\circ}\text{C}\\\Delta T_{\text{f}} & = & 35.5\, ^{\circ}\text{C}\\\end{array}$

The final temperature of the water would be 35.5 °C.
