When equilibrium has been reached so, according to this formula we can get the specific heat of the unknown metal and from it, we can define the metal as each metal has its specific heat:

Mw*Cw*ΔTw = Mm*Cm*ΔTm

when 
Mw → mass of water
Cw → specific heat of water
ΔTw → difference in temperature for water 

Mm→ mass of metal
Cw→ specific heat of the metal
ΔTm → difference in temperature for metal

by substitution:

100g * 4.18 * (40-39.8) = 8.23 g * Cm * (50-40)

∴ Cm = 83.6 / 82.3 = 1.02 J/g.°C

when the Cm of the Magnesium ∴ the unknown metal is Mg

A student requires 2.00 L of 0.100 M NH4NO3 from a 1.75 M NH4NO3 stock solution. What is the correct way to get the solution?
Sonbull [250]

Answer: Measure 114 mL of the 1.75 M solution, and dilute it to 2.00 L.

Explanation:

The number of moles in the solution will remain same on dilution and thus according to Molarity Equation:

M_1V_1=M_2V_2

M_1= molarity of first solution

V_1= Volume of first solution

M_2= molarity of second solution

V_2= Volume of second solution

0.1\times 2.00L=1.75M\times V_2

V_2=0.114L=114ml

Thus 114 ml of 1.75 M solution is taken and the volume is diluted to 2.0 L to make 0.100 M solution.

Write a balanced equation showing how this nucleus decays to form an α particle: thorium−230.
Ostrovityanka [42]
When   an  atomic  nucleus  emits  an  alpha  particle  it  decay  into  an atom   with atomic  number  2  less   and   mass number  4  less.  Thus  Thorium   230   decay    as  follows.

230 90Th  -------> 226  88Th  +  4 2 He

thorium  is  in  the  atomic  number   90  thus  it  during   alpha decay  it reduces  to  atomic  number  88  while  its  230   mass  number  reduces  to   226
