A 98.0°C piece of cadmium (c=.850J/g°C) is placed in 150.0g of 37.0°C water. After sitting for a few minutes, both have a temper

ature of 38.6°C. What was the mass of the cadmium sample?

The answer is 19.9 grams cadmium. 
Assuming there was no heat leaked from the system, the heat q lost by cadmium would be equal to the heat gained by the water:
     heat lost by cadmium = heat gained by the water
     -qcadmium = qwater
Since q is equal to mcΔT, we can now calculate for the mass m of the cadmium sample:
     -qcadmium = qwater
     -(mcadmium)(0.850J/g°C)(38.6°C-98.0°C)) = 150.0g(4.18J/g°C)(38.6°C-37.0°C)
     mcadmium = 19.9 grams

A very hot cube of copper metal (32.5 g) is submerged into 105.3 g of water at 15.4 0C and it reach a thermal equilibrium of 17.
zysi [14]

Answer:

The initial temperature of the metal is 84.149 °C.

Explanation:

The heat lost by the metal will be equivalent to the heat gain by the water.  

- (msΔT)metal = (msΔT)water

-32.5 grams × 0.365 J/g°C × ΔT = 105.3 grams × 4.18 J/g °C × (17.3 -15.4)°C

-ΔT = 836.29/12.51 °C

-ΔT = 66.89 °C

-(T final - T initial) = 66.89 °C

T initial = 66.89 °C + T final

T initial = 66.89 °C + 17.3 °C

T initial = 84.149 °C.

Which statement best explains why calcium has a larger atomic radius than magnesium? A. Calcium has a stronger nuclear charge th
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

B. calcium has electrons in more energy levels than magnesium

Explanation:

atoms are made of three types of subatomic particles - electrons, protons and neutrons.

Neutrons and protons reside in the nucleus of the atom and electrons reside in energy shells

electronic configuration for both Ca and Mg are as follows

Mg - 2,8,2

Ca - 2,8,8,2

outermost energy shell of Mg with electrons is the third energy level

whereas outermost energy shell of Ca with electrons is the fourth energy shell

therefore Ca has a larger atomic radius than Mg as it has one more energy shell than Mg in which electrons reside
