Answer:

Specific heat capacity of metal is 2.09 j/g.°C.

Explanation:

Specific heat capacity:

It is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of substance by one degree.

Formula:

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = amount of heat absorbed or released

m = mass of given substance

c = specific heat capacity of substance

ΔT = change in temperature

Given data:

Mass of metal = 15.5 g

Initial temperature = 165.0°C

Initial temperature of water = 23.0°C

Final temperature = 30.0°C

Specific heat capacity of metal = ?

Specific heat capacity of water = 4.184 J/g°C

Volume of water = 150.0 mL or 150.0 g

Solution:

Formula:

- Qm  =  +Qw

Now we will put the values in formula.

-15.5 g × c × [ 30.0°C - 165.0°C] = 150 g × 4.184 J/g°C × [ 30.0°C - 23.0°C]

15.5 g × c × 135°C = 4393.2 j

2092.5 g.°C  × c = 4393.2 j

c = 4393.2 j/2092.5 g.°C  

c = 2.09 j/g.°C

How do you know that a sealed calorimeter is a closed system?
3241004551 [841]

Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When a system is open then there will be exchange of energy between the system and surrounding.

Whereas when a system is closed then there will be no exchange of energy, that is, thermal energy will not flow into the atmosphere.

Thus, we can conclude that a sealed calorimeter is a closed system because thermal energy is not transferred to the environment.

The electron configuration that belongs to the atom with the lowest first ionization energy is?
sasho [114]

The electron configuration that belongs to the atom with the lowest first ionization energy is francium.

<h3>What is ionization energy? </h3>

Ionization energy is defined as the minimum amount of energy required to remove the most loosely electron present in outermost shell.

<h3>Ionization energy across period</h3>

Ionization energy increase as we move from left to right in the period. This can be explained as when we move from left to right along period new electron is added to the same shell which increase the nuclear charge. Hence results int he decrease in size. Due to this decrease in size more energy is required to remove electron from outermost shell.

<h3>Ionization energy along group</h3>

Ionization energy decrease as we move from top to bottom along group. This can be explained as we move from top to bottom new electron is added to new shell. Due to addition of new shell the size of atom increases which results in the decrease in the nuclear charge. Due to this less amount of energy is needed to remove an electron.

Thus, we concluded that the electron configuration that belongs to the atom with the lowest first ionization energy is francium.
