Answer:kapil

Explanation:

Atoms lose electrons, if an electron gets more energy than then binding energy of the electron. This may be because of a collision with a charged particle or because of absorbtion of a photon. In a metal, there are just other positive charges nearby. The electron is not lost, but shared.

0.350 mol of a solid was dissolved in 260 mL of water at 21.2 oC. After the solid had fully dissolved, the final temperature of

Fittoniya [83]

Answer: Heat of the solution = mass water × specific heat water × change in temperature

mass water = 260ml (1.00g/ml ) = 260g

specific heat of water = c(water) = 4.184J/ g°C

Heat change of water = final temperature - initial temperature

= 26.5 - 21.2

= 5.3 °C

H = 260 g ( 4.184J/g°C ) (5.3°C) = 5765J

Molar heat = $\frac{5765J}{0.350mol}$

= 16473J/mol

Explanation: finding molar heat requires first to look at specific heat of water and the change of water temperature
