30,000 J of heat are added to 23.0 kg of steel to reach a final temperature of 140
1 answer:
The initial temperature is 137.34 °C.
<u>Explanation:</u>
As the specific heat formula says that the heat energy required is directly proportional to the mass and change in temperature of the system.
Q = mcΔT
So, here the mass m is given as 23 kg, the specific heat of steel is given as c = 490 J/kg°C and the initial temperature is required to find with the final temperature being 140 °C. Also the heat energy required is 30,000 J.
ΔT =
ΔT =
Since the difference in temperature is 2.66, then the initial temperature will be
Final temperature - Initial temperature = Change in temperature
140-Initial temperature = 2.66
Initial temperature = 140-2.66 = 137.34 °C
Thus, the initial temperature is 137.34 °C.

Answer:
Sc (Scandium) has the given electronic configuration.
Explanation:
The given electronic configuration is [Ar].
The last electron enters the d-subshell and hence is a d-block element known as Scandium with chemical symbol Sc.
For 4s subshell
n=4,l=0 and m ranges from -l to +l so m=0.
For 3d subshell
n=3,l=2 and m ranges from -l to +l so m can take values -2,-1,0,+1,+2
Note:
l values for subshells:
s : 0
p : 1
d : 2
f : 3 and so on.
