<span>it tells you the sequence in which events occurred, not how long ago they occurred.</span>
The given formula for heat, Q=mc(Tf-Ti), is the best way to solve such problems with changes in temperature. It can be said that m is the mass of the substance. C is the specific heat of the substance. The term (Tf-Ti) is the change in temperature.
Q = mc(Tf-Ti) = 480g(0.96 J/g-C)(234-22) = 97689.6 Joules of heat
Remark
The balance numbers in front of Ag and AgNO3 are both 2. That number is in moles.
Rule: if the moles are the same in the equation, then whatever you are given for one, will be the same for the other. So you have 0.854 moles of Ag. You will also have 0.854 moles of AgNO3
Answer: 0.854 <<<<<
I think because its the only one to be liquid at normal temperatures.
