31.5 grams of an unknown substance is heated to 102.4 degrees Celsius and then placed into a calorimeter containing 103.5 grams

of water at 24.5 degrees Celsius. If the final temperature reached in the calorimeter is 32.5 degrees Celsius, what is the specific heat of the unknown substance?
Show or explain the work needed to solve this problem, and remember that the specific heat capacity of water is 4.18 J/(°C x g). (2 points)

Heat gained in a system can be calculated by multiplying the given mass to the specific heat capacity of the substance and the temperature difference. It is expressed as follows:<span>

Heat = mC(T2-T1) 

When two objects are in contact, it should be that the heat lost is equal to what is gained by the other. From this, we can calculate things. We do as follows:

</span>Heat gained = Heat lost
mC(T2-T1) = - mC(T2-T1) 
31.5C (102.4 - 32.5) = 103.5(4.18)(32.5 - 24.5)
C = 1.57 J/C-g

Hope this helps.

(Hope this helps can I pls have brainlist (crown)☺️)

Explanation:

Glucose is the most common form of sugar in the blood and the body's primary source of energy. Glucose is derived from the meals we eat or produced by the body from other chemicals. The circulation transports glucose to the cells. Several hormones, including insulin, regulate blood glucose levels.

a simple sugar that is a component of many carbohydrates and is a vital source of energy in living things.

Blood sugar, often known as glucose, is the most common sugar present in the body. It is your body's major source of energy and comes from the food you eat. Glucose is carried by your blood to all of your body's cells, where it is used for energy.

Why is an oxygen molecule more stable than and oxygen atom ?
slava [35]

Answer:

Oxygen molecule is 2 oxygen atoms in a covalent bond, whereas an oxygen atom is an atom with 8 electrons (6 valence electrons).  

Thus, clearly, any element in a bonded state is always more stable than when in an un-bonded state.

Why are negative ions usually larger than positive ions
olga nikolaevna [1]
<span>In a negative ion, or anion, electron(s) have been added to the atom. This means </span><span>the like charges within the electron cloud are now repelling each other more </span><span>than they were before. The proton count, however, has not changed. So, the </span><span>electron cloud, in response to the added electron(s) expands with that extra </span><span>repulsion. the negative Ions will have gained an electron fill an electron </span><span>shell while a positive Ion will have lost an electron in order to shed its </span><span>outermost shell, thereby making the atom smaller.

Hope this helps!
