As a result, there are very few compounds made with noble gases. Like its noble gas comrades, neon is odorless and colorless.
Among the choices, the unit of energy is calories. Answer in 1) is D. In 2) we are given with te mass , heat and temperature change. we just need to get the heat capacity and compare it with the following metals. The calculated heat capacity is 0.46 kJ/kg K. The answer is A. iron. In 3) we can compute the heat absorbed by the formula ΔH=mCpΔT. Cp of water is 4.18 J/g K. Answer of 3) is D. In 4) the formula used in Cp=ΔH/mΔT. Answer in 4) is A. The heat of enthalpy of fusion of ice is 80 cal/g. We convert this to J/g. Answer in 5) is B.334 J/g.
