Explanation:

Ionic solids are defined as the solids in which atoms of opposite charge are held together by strong forces of attraction. As a result, in solid state these atoms are not present in free state.

Hence, they cannot move as ions from one place to another. On the other hand, metals are able to conduct electricity because of the presence of free electrons in it.

As we know that electricity is the flow of ions or electrons from one place to another. Therefore, metals are able to conduct electricity in their solid state.

The density of a metal is 11.4 g/cm3. How much volume (in cm3) would a sample of 30.5 g have?
julia-pushkina [17]

<u>The Concept:</u>

We are given the density of a sample of the metal = 11.4 grams / cm³

and we need to find the volume occupied by a sample of 30.5 grams

For this solution, we will use dimensional analysis

from the given information, we can also say that the density of the metal is:

1 cm³ / 11.4 grams

If we multiply this value by 30.5 grams, the 'grams' in the numerator and the denominator will cancel out and we will be left with the volume occupied by 30.5 grams of the metal

<u>Solving for the volume:</u>

\frac{ 1 cm^{3} }{11.4 grams}  X  30.5 grams  = (30.5 / 11.4) cm³

Volume of 30.5 grams of the sample = 2.68 cm³

krek1111 [17]

<u>Answer:</u> The change in temperature is 84.7°C

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the change in temperature, we use the equation:

q=mc\Delta T

where,

q = heat absorbed = 1 kCal = 1000 Cal    (Conversion factor: 1 kCal = 1000 Cal)

m = mass of steel = 100 g

c = specific heat capacity of steel = 0.118 Cal/g.°C

\Delta T = change in temperature = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

1000Cal=100g\times 0.118Cal/g.^oC\times \Delta T\\\\\Delta T=\frac{1000}{100\times 0.118}=84.7^oC

Hence, the change in temperature is 84.7°C
