Answer:

The sand has a higher specific heat

Explanation:

The answer is that the sand would have a higher specific heat than water because water requires a lot of heat to raise its temperature while sand needs less heat to change it as water has a high heat capacity that allows it to maintain its temperature within a range.

Lithium (Li) and oxygen (O) are both in period 2. They both have _____.
AlladinOne [14]

They both have two electron shells

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

The period 2 element lies in the second row of the periodic system.

Consists of the elements: lithium, beryllium, boron, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, and neon

  • Lithium (Li)

atomic number : 3

electron configuration : [He] 2s¹

atomic number = number of proton=number of electron(in neutral atom)

So Li have 3 protons and 3 electrons

Because it fills the 2s orbital it has 2 shells

  • Oxygen (O)

atomic number : 8

electron configuration :  [He] 2s²2p⁴

So O have 8 protons and 8 electrons

Because it fills the 2s and 2p orbital it has 2 shells

So Lithium (Li) and Oxygen (O) are both have two electron shells

How many nitrogen atoms are in 2.79 mo.of NH3
alexandr1967 [171]
1 mol of any particles has 6.02 * 10 ²³ particles.

If we look at 1 NH3 (1 mol NH3 or 1 molecule NH3), we can see that 1 molecule NH3 has 1 atom of N and 3 atoms of H; also 1 mole of NH3 has 1 mole of N atoms and 3 moles of H atoms.

So, 1 mol of NH3 has 1 mol of N atoms,
 and 2.79 mol NH3 have 2.79 mol of N atoms.

2.79 mol of N atoms* 6.02 * 10 ²³ N atoms/ 1 mol N atoms = 1.68*10²⁴ N-atoms 

 Answer is 1.68*10²⁴ N-atoms.
