The steam releases 39.9 kJ when it condenses..
The steam condenses and transfers its energy to the skin.
<em>q = m</em>Δ<em>H</em>_cond = 17.7 g × (-2257 J/1 g) = -39 900 kJ = -39.9 kJ
The negative sign shows that the steam is releasing energy
1s2 2s2 2p1
fifth electron is in 2p orbital
so answer is 2 2 -1 -1/2 , or 2 2 -1 1/2
*1/2 and -1/2 are spins, so they are interchangeable when writing the first electron in the ml
A, B and D should be the ones you should check
Answer:

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:
