Answer: The element expected to be most electronegative is Ca.

The element expected to be least electronegative is K.

Explanation:

Electronegativity is defined as the property of an element to attract a shared pair of electron towards itself.

Down the group:

The size of an atom increases as we move down the group because a new shell is added and electron gets added up.

As, the size of an element increases, the valence electrons gets away from the nucleus. So, the attraction between the nucleus and the shared pair of electrons decreases

Hence, electronegativity decreases moving from top to bottom down a group

Across a period:

The size of an atom decreases as we move across the period because the electrons get added to the same shell and the nuclear charge keeps on increasing. Thus the electrons get more tightly held by the nucleus.

As, the size of an element decreases, the valence electrons come near to the nucleus. So, the attraction between the nucleus and the shared pair of electrons increases.

Hence, electronegativity increases moving across left to right in a period.

Thus as K, Sc and Ca are arranged across a period, the electronegativity order is K< Sc < Ca.

Reil [10]
The heat transfer formula is;
Q = m * c * Δ T >>>> (1)
where, Q is the heat transfer
m = mass  (gram)
c = the specific heat capacity (J/g)
Δ T = change in temperature
∵ we have one mole of Ethanol
∴ the weight of ethanol equals its molecular weight = (2*12)+(6*1)+(16) = 46 g
we will assume that the specific heat capacity of ethanol is 2.46 J/g (from google) 
ΔT = 25 - 320 = - 295 C
By substitution in (1)
∴ Q = 2.46 * 46 * (-295) = - 33382.2 J

The prefix 'kilo-' means a thousand. So a kilo-gram is a thousand grams. 1 kilogram=1,000 grams How many kilograms is 1,008 gram
lesantik [10]

<u>Answer:</u>  1.0 kilograms.

<u>Explanation:</u>

One kilogram is equal to a thousand grams.

Supposing x to be the number of kilograms equal to one thousand and eight grams, we can write it as:

1 kg = 1000 grams

x kg = 1008 grams

To solve for x, we can simply divide 1008 grams by 1000 thousand grams to get the answer.

x = 1008 / 1000

x = 1.008

Rounding this value to the nearest tenth, it will become 1.0 kilograms.

What is the value of 100cm^3 in dm^3​
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

0.1 dm³.

Explanation:

To obtain the value of 100 cm³ in dm³, do the following:

Recall:

1 cm³ = 0.001 dm³

Therefore,

100 cm³ = 100 cm³ × 0.001 dm³ / 1 cm³

100 cm³ = 0.1 dm³

Thus, 100 cm³ is equivalent to 0.1 dm³.
