Answer:

\boxed{\text{0.200 J$^{\circ}$C$^{-1}$g$^{-1}$}}}

Explanation:

The formula for the amount heat q absorbed by a substance is

q = mcΔT

where

 m = the mass of the substance

  C = the specific heat capacity of the material

ΔT = the temperature change

Data:

 q = 2267 J

m = 44.5 g

T₁ = 33.9 °C

T₂ = 288.3 °C

Calculations:

ΔT = (288.3 - 33.9) °C = 254.4 °C

\begin{array}{rcl}2267 & = & 44.5 \times C \times 254.4\\2267 & = & 11 180C\\C& = & \dfrac{2267}{11180}\\\\& = & \textbf{0.200 J$^{\circ}$C$^{-1}$g$^{-1}$}\\\end{array}

\text{The specific heat capacity of the metal is \boxed{\textbf{0.200 J$^{\circ}$C$^{-1}$g$^{-1}$}}}

Does potassium nitrate (KN03) incorporate ionic bonding, covalent bonding, or both? Explain.
ladessa [460]

Answer: KNO_3 incorporates both ionic bonding and covalent bonding.

Explanation:

A covalent bond is formed when an element shares its valence electron with another element. This bond is formed between two non metals.

An ionic bond is formed when an element completely transfers its valence electron to another element. The element which donates the electron is known as electropositive element and the element which accepts the electrons is known as electronegative element. This bond is formed between a metal and an non-metal.

For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the charges on cation and anion must be balanced. The cation is formed by loss of electrons by metals and anions are formed by gain of electrons by non metals.

Here potassium is having an oxidation state of +1 called as K^{+} cation and nitrate NO_3^{-} is an anion with oxidation state of -1. Thus they combine and their oxidation states are exchanged and written in simplest whole number ratios to give neutral KNO_3. NO_3^- is formed by sharing of electrons between two non metals nitrogen and oxygen.

Thus KNO_3 incorporates both ionic bonding and covalent bonding.

What does non polar mean?
Hoochie [10]
When atoms bond together to form molecules, they share or give electrons. If the electrons are shared equally by the atoms, then there is no resulting charge and the molecule is nonpolar.

Tanya [424]

Answer:

The particles begin to vibrate faster and more.

Explanation:

Adding heat to matter increases the energy, thus creating more movement. Eventually, the bucket will melt, turning to a liquid. While it is a sold, it still has particle movement, just not enough to break volume or shape.

This is the equation for the combustion of propane.
yan [13]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Reactants are the compounds which reaction produce the products. In general terms this can be expressed symbolically as follows:

reactants -> products

Other phenomena like heat are omitted because are not always present, that is, only compounds are included. Therefore, in this reaction the reactants are C3H8 (propane) and O2 ( oxygen) and the products are CO2 (carbon dioxide) and H2O (water)
