Explanation:
Hello!
In this case, when two substances at different temperature are put in contact and an equilibrium temperature is attained, we can evidence that the heat lost by the hot substance (metal) is gained by the cold substance (water) and we can write:
Which can be also written as:
Thus, since we need the specific heat of the metal, we solve for it as shown below:
Best regards.
Answer:
11 protons
Explanation:
Sodium (Na)'s atomic number or proton number is 11, which means it contains 11 protons
The notion <span>an empty balloon have precisely the same apparent weight on a scale as a balloon filled with air depends on the diameter of the balloon. The weight of the balloon filled with air is equal to the mass of the balloon and the mass of the air inside. The mass of air inside is equal to the density of air multiplied by the volume of the balloon. If the balloon is large, then the two masses are equal whereas if not, the mass of air inside the inflation is neglible</span>
Answer:
See the answer below
Explanation:
<em>The carbon will have to travel in the form of CO2 from the atmosphere to a primary producer (green plant), from there to a primary consumer (herbivorous animal), and finally to a secondary consumer.</em>
The primary producer (a green plant) would fix the carbon in the CO2 to carbohydrate through a process known as photosynthesis. The equation of the process is as shown below:
The carbon, now in the form of carbohydrate, would then be picked up by an animal (a primary consumer) that feeds on the green plant. The carbon would eventually get into a secondary consumer when the secondary consumer feeds on the primary consumer that fed on the green plant.
First determine the formal oxidation numbers:
N changes from +2 to +5 going from NO to (NO3)- O remains -2 the whole time Cr changes from +6 to +3
Now write the half reactions, balance the oxygens with the required number of waters and then balance the hydrogens with the required number of protons:
Oxidation half reaction:
NO(aq) + 2 H2O(l) ---> (NO3)-(aq) + 4 H+(aq) + 3 e-
Reduction half reaction:
(Cr2O7)2-(aq) + 14 H+(aq) + 6 e- ---> 2 Cr3+(aq) + 7 H2O(l)
Now balance the number of electrons on both sides and add them together:
2 NO(aq) + 4 H2O(l) ---> 2 (NO3)-(aq) + 8 H+(aq) + 6 e- (Cr2O7)2-(aq) + 14 H+(aq) + 6 e- ---> 2 Cr3+(aq) + 7 H2O(l) --------------------------------------... 2 NO(aq) + (Cr2O7)2-(aq) + 6 H+(aq) ---> 2 (NO3)-(aq) + 2 Cr3+(aq) + 3 H2O(l)
Notice that the charge is the same in both sides, which is an indication that the redox equation has been balanced correctly:
-2 + 6 = -2 + 2(+3) +4 = +4
