Answer:

Se detailed explanation.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, since both magnesium and calcium ions are in group IIA, we can review the following similar properties:

- Since both calcium and magnesium are in group IIA they have two valence electrons, it means that the both of them have two electrons at their outer shells.

- They are highly soluble in water when forming ionic bonds with nonmetals such as those belonging to halogens and oxygen's family.

- Calcium has 18 electrons and magnesium 10 which are two less than the total protons (20 and 12 respectively) since the both of them have lost two electrons due their ionized form.

- Their electron configurations are:

$Ca^{20}=1s^2,2s^2,2p^6,3s^3,3p^6,4s^2\\\\Mg^{12}=1s^2,2s^2,2p^6,3s^2$

It means that the both of them are at the $s$ region since it is the last subshell at which their electrons are.

Best regards.

A 125g metal block at a temperature of 93.2 degrees Celsius was immersed in 100g of water at 18.3 degrees Celsius. Given the spe

Answer:

$\large \boxed{34.2\, ^{\circ}\text{C}}$

Explanation:

There are two heat transfers involved: the heat lost by the metal block and the heat gained by the water.

According to the Law of Conservation of Energy, energy can neither be destroyed nor created, so the sum of these terms must be zero.

Let the metal be Component 1 and the water be Component 2.

Data:

For the metal:

$m_{1} =\text{125 g; }T_{i} = 93.2 ^{\circ}\text{C; }\\C_{1} = 0.900 \text{ J$^{\circ}$C$^{-1}$g$^{-1}$}$

For the water:

$m_{2} =\text{100 g; }T_{i} = 18.3 ^{\circ}\text{C; }\\C_{2} = 4.184 \text{ J$^{\circ}$C$^{-1}$g$^{-1}$}$

$\begin{array}{rcl}\text{Heat lost by metal + heat gained by water} & = & 0\\q_{1} + q_{2} & = & 0\\m_{1}C_{1}\Delta T_{1} + m_{2}C_{2}\Delta T_{2} & = & 0\\\text{125 g}\times 0.900 \text{ J$^{\circ}$C$^{-1}$g$^{-1}$} \times\Delta T_{1} + \text{100 g} \times 4.184 \text{ J$^{\circ}$C$^{-1}$g$^{-1}$}\Delta \times T_{2} & = & 0\\112.5\Delta T_{1} + 418.4\Delta T_{2} & = & 0\\112.5\Delta T_{1} & = & -418.4\Delta T_{2}\\\Delta T_{1} & = & -3.719\Delta T_{2}\\\end{array}$

$\Delta T_{1} = T_{\text{f}} - 93.2 ^{\circ}\text{C}\\\Delta T_{2} = T_{\text{f}} - 18.3 ^{\circ}\text{C}$

$\begin{array}{rcl}\Delta T_{1} & = & -3.719\Delta T_{2}\\T_{\text{f}} - 93.2 ^{\circ}\text{C} & = & -3.719 (T_{\text{f}} - 18.3 ^{\circ}\text{C})\\T_{\text{f}} - 93.2 ^{\circ}\text{C} & = & -3.719T_{\text{f}} + 68.06 ^{\circ}\text{C}\\4.719T_{\text{f}} & = & 161.3 ^{\circ}\text{C}\\T_{\text{f}} & = & \mathbf{34.2 ^{\circ}}\textbf{C}\\\end{array}\\\text{The final temperature of the block and the water is $\large \boxed{\mathbf{34.2\, ^{\circ}}\textbf{C}}$}$

Which of the following is NOT something that electromagnetic waves and mechanical waves have in common?

Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

D. In both, vibrations occur in a parallel direction to the direction of the wave.

Explanation:

It is not true that in both mechanical and electromagnetic waves, vibrations occur in parallel direction to the direction of the wave.

As with all waves, they are disturbances that transfers energy without moving the materials of the medium.

Electromagnetic waves have only one way of propagation which is a vibration in both parallel and longitudinal direction.
Mechanical waves can be propagated either in a parallel direction or longitudinal direction and not both.
