You should take note that the question is about stability. A compound is stable if it does not easily react with other elements. Hence, its reactivity must be low. As you move down the group, reactivity decreases. So, the halide at the very bottom is the least reactive. It would then be logical that the most stable conjugate base is I⁻ and the least stable conjugate base is the most reactive which is F⁻.
74.62 g of magnesium oxide is formed from 45.00 g magnesium so 74.62-45.00= 29.62 g of oxygen is consumed or in other words a new compound is formed in the burning of magnesium in oxygen with a heavier mass than the pure magnesium.
Answer: 15062.4 Joules
Explanation:
The quantity of heat energy (Q) required to heat a substance depends on its Mass (M), specific heat capacity (C) and change in temperature (Φ)
Thus, Q = MCΦ
Since,
Q = ?
Mass of food = 200.0g
C = 4.184 j/g°C
Φ = (Final temperature - Initial temperature)
= 83.0°C - 65.0°C = 18°C
Then, Q = MCΦ
Q = 200.0g x 4.184 j/g°C x 18°C
Q = 15062.4 J
Thus, 15062.4 joules of heat energy was contained in the food.
