Ernest Rutherford was a famous British physicist who lived and worked in the 19th and the first half of the 20th century. He is now considered to be the father of nuclear physics, given that he was the one responsible for figuring out about the nuclear structure of an atom (proton, electron, neutron) and about the nuclear processes in general. The element rutherfordium (Rf) is named after this scientist. When it comes to his personal life, his parents are both British, however, Ernest was born in New Zealand because his mom and dad before he was born. He worked as a professor in several universities, and was even knighted in 1914. He is a Nobel prize winner, which he won for Chemistry in 1908.

timama [110]

Answer:

Silver, 0.239 J/(g °C)

Explanation:

  • The heat change is related to specific heat as given by the formula;

Heat change = mass of substance × specific heat × change in temperature

  • Therefore; considering same amount of substance or equal masses and have the same initial temperature.
  • The change in temperature will be inversely proportional to the specific heat.
  • Therefore; the higher the specific heat lower the temperature change.
  • Hence,  the change in temperature will be highest for the substance with the lowest specific heat.

Therefore; the one that will increase in temperature the most is Silver

7. When solid carbon reacts with oxygen gas to produce carbon dioxide gas, woul the triangle H value be on the reactant or produ
garik1379 [7]

When solid carbon reacts with oxygen gas to produce carbon dioxide gas. the deltaH (enthalpy change ) value is negative .DeltaH would be on the product side of the equation.

<h3>What is enthalpy change? </h3>

In a thermodynamic system, energy is measured by enthalpy. Enthalpy is a measure of a system's overall heat content and is equal to the system's internal energy plus the sum of its volume and pressure.

Knowing whether q is endothermic or exothermic allows one to characterise the relationship between q and H. An endothermic reaction is one that absorbs heat and demonstrates that heat from the environment is used in the reaction, hence q>0 (positive). For the aforementioned equation, under constant pressure and temperature, if q is positive, then H will also be positive. In a similar manner, heat is transferred to the environment when it is released during an exothermic reaction. Thus, q=0 (negative). Therefore, if q is negative, H will also be negative.
