Specific heat is the amount of energy needed to increase the temperature per unit mass in 1°C.

The nature of the elements or compounds (metalic elements in this case) determines the transference of heat inside the body of the object. The mechanism of heat transfer inside the metals is conductivty. The more compact and denser the metal, the closer the atoms and the faster the transference of heat by conductivity and the lower the specific heat.

Then,  the reason why specific heat of Al is much lower than gold, is that gold is much denser than Al.

Write a net ionic equation to show how codeine, c18h21o3n, behaves as a base in water.
Lera25 [3.4K]

Actually, the ionic equation for this is a reversible equation since codeine is a weak base. Any weak base or weak acids do not completely dissociate which makes them a reversible process. The ionic equation for this case is:

<span>C18H21O3N  +  H3O+  </span><=> C18H21O3NH+ +  H2O

Calculate the p value of each ion indicated:
Nataliya [291]
27/208  = normality

12 x 10^-2 approx  = normality

nw Ka = 14.3 x 10^-3

pKa = 3 - log 14

now, after getting the pKa put it in formula  :
pH = pKa + log concn of ion/concn of salt and you'll get it

hope this helps
