Answer:

Specific heat capacity of aluminium is 0,863 J/g°C

Explanation:

<em>Values: 250g of water, aluminum sample starts off at 91.3°C, water starts off at 16.0°C, temperature of the water stops changing it's 19.5°C</em>

In this problem, the heat produced for the aluminium is the same consumed by water. The heat consumed by water is:

Q = C×m×ΔT <em>(1)</em>

Where C is specific heat of water (4,184J/g°C), m is mass of water (250,0g) and ΔT is change in temperature of water (19,5°C-16,0°C = 3,5°C)

Replacing:

Q = 4,184J/g°C×250,0g×3,5°C

<em><u>Q = 3661 J</u></em>

Using (1), it is possible to obtain specific heat of aluminium, thus:

Q / (m×ΔT) = C

Where Q is heat (3661J), m is mass (59,1g) and ΔT is change in temperature (91,3°C - 19,5°C( = 71,8°C

Replacing:

3661J / (59,1g×71,8°C) = C

<em>C = 0,863 J/g°C</em>

I hope it helps!

5. Which statement is true about electronegativity?
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

Electronegativity generally increases from left to right across a period,

Explanation:

The true statement from the given choices is that electronegativity generally increases from left to right across a period.

Electronegativity is the measure of the relative tendency with which an atom of the element attract valence electrons in a chemical bond.

Across a period electronegativity increases from left to right and decreases down the group.

This is due to reduction in metallic properties as we move across the period from left to right.
