Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

The specific heat is  c_b  = 0.402 J / g \cdot ^oC

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The mass of  the sample is  m = 54.4 \ g

     The mass of the water is  m_w = 150.0 \ g

     The initial temperature of the sample is  T_i  = 95.1 ^oC

     The initial temperature of the water is  T_{w_i} =  15^oC

     The final temperature of the water is  T  =  17.6 ^oC

Note the final temperature of water is equal to the final temperature of brass sample

    The pressure is  P =1 \ atm

Generally for according to the law of energy conservation

    The heat lost by sample  =  The heat gain by water

   

The heat lost by brass sample is  mathematically evaluated as    

          H_L  =  m * c_b  *  [T_i - T]

Where c_b is the specific neat of the brass sample

The heat gained  by water is  mathematically evaluated as          

        H_g  = m_w *c_w * [T_w - T ]

where c_w is the specific heat of water which has a constant value of  

     c_w =  4.186  joule/gram

So

    H_L  =  H_g \ \equiv m* c_b  * [T_i -T] =  m_w * c_w * [T - T_w]

substituting values

    52.4 * c_b  * [95.1  - 17.6] =  150 * 4.186 * [ 17.6 - 15.0]

    c_b  = 0.402 J / g \cdot ^oC

stealth61 [152]
The solution that conducts electricity and has a pH value of 7 would most likely be a neutral solution. Water is among the best examples of a neutral solution. When the pH of a solution is considered to be lesser than 7, it is an acid, while if the pH is greater than 7, it is considered to be a basic solution.

An unknown liquid has a mass of 22.1 g
Yuki888 [10]
M = 22.1 g
V = 52.3 mL
D = ?

D = m/V
= 22.1/52.3
= 22.1*10/52.3*10
= 221/523
= 0.4

There. I’m sorry i forgot what exactly was the S.I. unit of density :(

Tin has ten stable isotopes. The heaviest, 124Sn, makes up 5.80% of naturally occuring tin atoms. How many atoms of 124Sn are pr
matrenka [14]

The average atomic mass of Sn is 118.71 g/mol

the percentage of heaviest Sn is 5.80%

the given mass of Sn is 82g

The total  moles of Sn will be = mass / atomic mass = 82/118.71=0.691

Total atoms of Sn in 82g = 6.023X10^{23}X0.691=4.16X10^{23}

the percentage of heaviest Sn is 5.80%

So the total atoms of Sn^{124} = 5.80% X 4.16X10^{23}

Total atoms of Sn^{124}=2.41X10^{22} atoms

the mass of Sn^{124} will be = \frac{2.41X10^{22}X124}{6.023X10^{23}}=4.96g

Is anyone online 2 help,Sodium is a reactive metal.Why nd don't spam brainlest and thx is waiting answer it ❤️​
morpeh [17]
It is because sodium is one of the most reactive metals.

There is a reaction would take place between magnesium and sodium chloride.

The chemical reaction between these two metals is given below.

It is Mg + 2NaCl >> MgCl2. + 2Na.

The symbol of this chemical element is Na.

It has the atomic number of eleven


Hope this helps *smiles*
