Remember: heat lost = heat gained 

When calculating heat loss or gain, remember 

mass*(spec heat cap)*(change in T) 

The unknown loses heat- we don't know the spec heat cap, so we'll call it x.

The water gains. I've omitted the units, but always use when solving problems on your own. 

75*x*(96.5-37.1) = 1150*4.184*(37.1-25) 
<span>
Now it's all set up- use algebra to get x, the spec heat cap of the unk in J/g*degC

An atom with a high metallic character usually has a ____ electron affinity and a ____ atomic radius.
lianna [129]

Low electron affinity and large atomic radius

Metallic character decreases across a period (from left to right) and increases down a group.

Electron affinity increases from left to right within a period. This is caused by the decrease in atomic radius. Electron affinity decreases from top to bottom within a group. This is caused by the increase in atomic radius.

Evaluate each scenario to determine whether it represents a chemical reaction.
vova2212 [387]

Explanation:

A chemical reaction is one in which a chemical change occurs.

During a chemical change;

  • The process is irreversible
  • New kinds of matter produced
  • There is a change in mass

Based on these premise;

 Baking  cake batter is a chemical reaction because you cannot reverse the process

  Shredding a paper is not a chemical reaction because no new kind of matter is produced.

  Twisting of a metal wire is not a chemical reaction

   Yellowing of newspaper in sunlight is a chemical change. The process cannot be reversed

<h2>Answer:</h2>

The<u> diffusion </u>occurs in room.

  • <u>Oder molecules move from their highest concentration to lowest concentration.</u>
<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Diffusion is a process by which molecules move down their concentration gradient. The process does not require any membrane.

So corner with perfume has high concentration of odor molecules. Hence they move to other corner with low concentration of molecules.
