A 50.00 g sample of an unknown metal is heated to 45.00°C. It is then placed in a coffee-cup calorimeter filled with water. The

calorimeter and the water have a combined mass of 250.0 g and an overall specific heat of 1.035 cal/g•°C. The initial temperature of the calorimeter is 10.00°C. The system reaches a final temperature of 11.08°C when the metal is added.

First, in order to calculate the specific heat capacity of the metal in help in identifying it, we must find the heat absorbed by the calorimeter using:
Energy = mass * specific heat capacity * change in temperature
Q = 250 * 1.035 * (11.08 - 10)
Q = 279.45 cal/g

Next, we use the same formula for the metal as the heat absorbed by the calorimeter is equal to the heal released by the metal.

-279.45 = 50 * c * (11.08 - 45) [minus sign added as energy released]
c = 0.165

The specific heat capacity of the metal is 0.165 cal/gC

Zinc phosphide, Zn3P2, is often used as a rat poison. Phosphorus has 5 valence electrons. How many valence electrons does each z
Helen [10]
The choices that should have accompanied this question were:
A. 1 
<span>B. 2 </span>
<span>C. 3 </span>
<span>D. 4 
</span>
My answer is B. 2.
Below is an explanation, I found while doing the research.

<span>Phosphate needs 3 electrons each totaling 6 electrons so each zinc will need to give up 2 electrons.

Phosphate wants to imitate the electron configuration of Argon because noble configurations are the most stable. With P getting the extra electrons the valence shell will be 3s2 3p6, which is the same as Argon. Without the extra electrons, the P valence shell looks like this 3s2 3p3, now you can see why each phosphorus wants 3 more electrons, that will make it 3s2 3p6, just like Argon.</span>

The atomic mass of potassium is 39.1. What is the mass of 6.02 × 1023 atoms of potassium? . . A.. 39.1 mg. . . . . B.. 39.1 g. .
Sholpan [36]
Atomic mass of Potassium = Mass of 1 atom of Potassium = 39.1 amu
Then
Mass of 6.02 x 1023 atoms of potassium = 39.1 x 6.02 x 1023 amu
                                                                  = 
We already know that
1 mole = 6.02 x 1023 atoms
Also
Number of mole = mass in grams/ atomic mass
Then
Mass in gram = Number of mole x atomic mass
                       = (39.1 x 6.02 x 1023)/(6.02 x 1023)
                       = 39.1 g
The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the third option or option "B".

A gas has a volume of 590 mL at a temperature of -55°C what volume will the gas occupy at 30°C
Ipatiy [6.2K]
Using ideal gas formula (PV=nRT), you can conclude that volume directly related to the temperature. That means an increase in temperature will cause an increased volume too. Note that the temperature is using Kelvin, not Celsius. The calculation would be:

V1/T1= V2/T2
590ml / (-<span>55+ 273)K = V2/ (30+273)K
V2= (590ml/ 218K) * 303K
V2= 820ml</span>
