The anion<span> is also </span>larger than<span> the </span>atom<span> because of </span>electron-electron repulsion<span>. As more </span>electrons are<span> added to the </span>outer shell<span>, and even to </span>higher<span> principle energy levels, the </span>repulsion<span> bewteen the negatively charged particles grows, pushing the </span>shells<span> farther from the nucleus.</span>

A 7.47 g sample of calcium carbonate [CaCO3 (s)] absorbs 85 J of heat, upon which the temperature of the sample increases from 2
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

Specific heat of calcium carbonate(C) = 0.82 (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

Energy absorbs (q) = 85 J

Change in temperature (Δt) = 34.9 - 21 = 13.9°C  

Mass of calcium carbonate = 7.47 g

Find:

Specific heat of calcium carbonate(C)

Computation:

Specific heat of calcium carbonate(C) = q / m(Δt)

Specific heat of calcium carbonate(C) = 85 / (7.47)(13.9)

Specific heat of calcium carbonate(C) = 85 / 103.833

Specific heat of calcium carbonate(C) = 0.8186

Specific heat of calcium carbonate(C) = 0.82 (Approx)
