Lithium has charge of +1 and bromide has charge of - 1. So they combine to form the compound lithium bromide which is expressed as LiBr.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Lithium is an alkali metal placed in group 1 or periodic table. It has a valency of 1 which is achieved as lithium loses an electron to achieve a charge of +1.

Bromine is a halogen which is placed in group 17 of periodic table. It has a valency of 1 which is achieved as bromine looses an election to achieve a charge of - 1.

Lithium is the cation and bromide is the anion. So lithium is written in front and bromine following the cation. And as both of their valencies are 1, so they form the compound LiBr.

When you apply 1000 joules of energy to 50 grams of water its temperature changes to 30 degrees . What was the initial temperatu
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

25.2°C

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Energy applied to the water  = 1000J

Mass of water  = 50g

Final temperature  = 30°C

Unknown:

Initial temperature  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we use the expression below:

            H  = m c Ф

H is the energy absorbed

m is the mass

c is the specific heat capacity

Ф is the change in temperature

     1000  = 50 x 4.184 x (30  -  initial temperature )

     1000  = 209.2(30 - initial temperature)

      4.78  = 30 - initial temperature

      4.78  - 30  = - initial temperature

         Initial temperature  = 25.2°C
