a) Copper is at a higher temperature, so the flow of heat will take place from copper to iron. Heat is a form of energy, which always flows from higher temperature to lower temperature.

b) To determine the actual final temperature, the heat capacity of the calorimeter must be known. A calorimeter constant refers to a constant, which quantifies the heat capacity of a calorimeter. It may be determined by using a known amount of heat to the calorimeter and measuring the corresponding change in temperature of the calorimeter.

Why are metals <br> electropositive in nature<br>

Mariana [72]

Answer:

The tendency of metals to lose electrons inorder to get stability is called electropositive nature ofmetals. In general most of the metalslose electrons from their valence shell due to weak force of attraction on the outermost shell.

Below is the structure of acetyl chloride, drawn with bonds and electron dots. determine how many nonbonding and bonding electro

erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer : The non-bonding and bonding electrons are 10 and 14 respectively.

Explanation :

Electron-dot structure : It is also known as Lewis-dot structure. It shows the bonding between the atoms of a molecule and it also shows the unpaired electrons present in the molecule.

The given molecule is, Acetyl chloride $(CH_3COCl)$

Carbon has '4' valence electrons, hydrogen has '1' valence electron, oxygen has '6' valence electrons and chlorine has '7' valence electrons.

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in $(CH_3COCl)$ = 2(4) +3(1) +6 +7 = 24

According to electron-dot structure, there are 14 number of bonding electrons ans 10 number of non-bonding electrons.

The electron-dot structure of $(CH_3COCl)$ is shown below.
