Answer:
X₃Z₂
Explanation:
A metal ion (X) with a charge of 2+ = X²⁺
nonmetal ion (Z) with a charge of 3- = Z³⁻
In a neutral compound, the charges but balance each other to remain neutral. However in this case, the charges are not balanced.
A simple way to make the charges balance is by tweaking the number of the ions present in the compound.
We do this by multiplying the metal ion with 3 and the non metal ion by 2.
That way we have;
Metal ion = 3X2⁺ (Total charge - 6⁺)
Non metal ion = 2Z3⁻ (Total charge - 6⁻)
The charges are now balanced. The formular of the compound is;
X₃Z₂
Data:
Q (Amount of heat) = 832 J
m (mass) = ?
c (Specific heat) = <span>0.90 J/(g × ° C)
T (final) = 97 ºC
To (initial) = 20 ºC
</span>ΔT = T - To → ΔT = 97 - 20 → ΔT = 77 ºC
Formula:
Q = m*c*ΔT
Solving:
Q = m*c*ΔT
832 = m*0.90*77
832 = 69.3m
69.3m = 832

Q=44.0 ct
p=3.51 g/cm³
Δq=0.200 g/ct
m=q×Δq
v=m/p=q×Δq/p
v=44.0×0.200/3.51≈2.5 cm³
C. 2.5 cm³
