The following compounds and the number and type of ions are as follows:
Gold and chloride:
Gold (III) = Au 3+
Chloride = Cl 1-
Calcium and Sulfate:
Calcium Sulfate:
Calcium = Ca 2+
Sulfate = SO4 2-
Magnesium and Hydroxide
Magnesium Hydroxide: Mg(OH)2
Magnesium: Mg 2+
Hydroxide: (OH) 1-
They flow and can take the shape of their container
Extensive property (like volume and mass), can be measured.
Here we have to identify the sample which need more energy to heat the sample 1 degree Celsius.
Among the given elements magnesium will require more energy than the others to heat.
As per the definition of specific heat of a compound, the amount of heat required to increase the temperature of the material 1 degree Celsius is the specific heat of the material.
The given data are-
substance specific heat
Lead 0.129
Tin 0.21
Silver 0.235
Iron 0.449
Calcium 0.647
Granite 0.803
Aluminium 0.897
Magnesium 1.023
From the given data lead, magnesium, iron and aluminium have the specific heat 0.129, 1.023, 0.449 and 0.897 respectively. Thus magnesium will require more energy than the others to heat.
