<span>I bet this is the notation used in nuclear reactions. The superscript represents the mass number while the subscript represents the atomic number of the element X. So, we find the element with an atomic number of 12. That would be Magnesium or Mg.</span>

<em>Element X is an element of Mg which is located in group 2A and period 3</em>

<em>with 12 = atomic number and 25 = mass number</em>

\boxed{\boxed{\bold{Further~explanation}}}

The Atomic Number (Z) indicates the number of protons in an atom of an element. If the atom is neutral then the number of protons will be equal to the number of electrons. So the atomic number can also indicate the number of electrons.

So atomic number = number of protons = number of electrons

Mass Number (A) is the sum of protons and neutrons

Mass Number (A) = Number of protons + Number of Neutrons

So that the relationship between atomic numbers and mass numbers can be formulated as follows:

Atomic Number (Z) = Mass Number (A) - Number of Neutrons

In the following element notation,

\large{{{A}\atop{Z}}\right X}

Information

X = symbol of elemental atom

A = mass number

  = number of protons + number of neutrons

Z = atomic number

  = number of protons = number of electrons, on neutral elements

In an atom, there are levels of energy in the skin and sub skin.

This energy level is expressed in the form of electron configurations.

Charging electrons in the sub skin uses the following sequence:

1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁶, 4s², 3d¹⁰, 4p⁶, 5s², 4d¹⁰, 5p⁶, 6s², etc.

The location of the element group in the periodic system is determined by the number of valence electrons that fill the last sub-skin

The element period is determined from the valence shell (the largest main quantum number (n))

The chemical element group is divided into two, namely:

Group A, occupies sub skins s and p

Group B, occupies sub skin d

In the most probable question, the notation is meant

\large{{{25}\atop{12}}\right X}

So that shows:

12 = atomic number

25 = mass number

To determine the X element, we must know where the element is in the modern periodic system

Determining the location of the group and its period is sought by writing down the electron configuration

Because atomic number = 12, the number of electrons is also = 12, so the electron configuration is:

1s² 2s² sp⁶ 3s²

The last valence electron is in the 3s² orbitals so that:

Period: main quantum number (n) = 3

Group: because it ends at s orbitals with 2 electrons, the group is 2A (electrons occupying s and p orbitals are group A)

So element X is located in period 3 and group 3A. Elements that fulfill these 2 conditions are: Mg

NikAS [45]
<span>The correct answer is letter A. 1.5 VDC. A standard dry cell has an output voltage of A. 1.5 VDC. Standard dry cell is a type of electricity-producing chemical cell, that is commonly use in households, and even portable devices. Dry cell is zinc-carbon cell and with nominal voltage of 1.5 volts.</span>

Calculate the heat energy required to melt 4kg of ice when the specific latent heat of fusion of water is 334,000 J/kg.
Setler79 [48]

Taking into account the definition of calorimetry and latent heat, the heat energy required to melt 4 kg of ice when the specific latent heat of fusion of water is 334,000 \frac{J}{kg} is 1,336 kJ.

<h3>Calorimetry</h3>

Calorimetry is the measurement and calculation of the amounts of heat exchanged by a body or a system.

<h3>Latent heat</h3>

Latent heat is defined as the energy required by a quantity of substance to change state.

When this change consists of changing from a solid to a liquid phase, it is called heat of fusion and when the change occurs from a liquid to a gaseous state, it is called heat of vaporization.

The heat Q that is necessary to provide for a mass m of a certain substance to change phase is equal to

Q = m×L

where L is called the latent heat of the substance and depends on the type of phase change.

<h3>Heat energy required to melt ice</h3>

In this case, you know:

  • m= 4 kg
  • L= specific latent heat of fusion of water= 334,000 \frac{J}{kg}

Replacing in the expression for latent heat:

Q = 4 kg× 334,000 \frac{J}{kg}

Solving:

<u><em>Q= 1,336,000 J= 1,336 kJ </em></u>(being 1,000 J= 1 kJ)

Finally, the correct answer is the first option: the heat energy required to melt 4 kg of ice when the specific latent heat of fusion of water is 334,000 \frac{J}{kg} is 1,336 kJ.
