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.

MatroZZZ [7]
The stoichiometric ratio of CuCl2 to NaCl is 1 is to 2. The stoichiometric ratio of 31.0 g CuCl2 is 26.95 grams of NaCl by converting the amount of CuCl2 to mole and multiplying by 0.5 and molar mass of NaCl.This amount is equal to 78.65% yield.

What is the concentration of a solution which is 2g in 150cm3 in g/dm3
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

13.33 g/dm³

Explanation:

Concentration (g/dm³)= mass(g) ÷ volume (dm³)

Now you need to convert 150 cm³ to dm³

1000cm³ = 1 dm³

thus, 150 cm3= 150 ÷ 1000

= 15dm³

and you already have mass in grams

so concentration  = 2 ÷ 0.15

= 13.33 g/dm³ and there you go.. solved ;)

This should not matter because the pipet has gradations and usually more of the sample is taken up in the pipette than what is delivered into the flask the student should always rinse the container being used because they are contaminating the sample if they do not clean it out

What is silicons reactivity level
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

this is your answer

Explanation:

Silicon, like carbon, is relatively inactive at ordinary temperatures; but when heated it reacts vigorously with the halogens (fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine) to form halides and with certain metals to form silicides.

hope it helps
