Answer:

The specific heat of gold is 0.129 J/g°C

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of gold  = 15.3 grams

Heat absorbed = 87.2 J

Initial temperature = 35.0 °C

Final temperature = 79.2 °C

Step 2:

Q = m*c*ΔT

⇒ Q =the heat absorbed = 87.2 J

⇒ m = the mass of gold = 15.3 grams

⇒ c = the specific heat of gold = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒ ΔT = The change in temperature = T2 - T1 = 79.2 - 35.0 = 44.2 °C

87.2 J = 15.3g * c * 44.2°C

c = 87.2 / (15.3 * 44.2)

c = 0.129 J/g°C

The specific heat of gold is 0.129 J/g°C

. In which reaction is nitric acid acting as an oxidising agent?
Talja [164]

Answer:

B. Cu + 4HNO3 → Cu(NO3)2 + 2H2O + 2NO2

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, we should understand oxidizing agents as those substances able to increase the oxidation state of another substance, therefore, in B. reaction we notice that copper oxidation state at the beginning is zero (no bonds are formed) and once it reacts with nitric acid, its oxidation states raises to +2 in copper (II) nitrate, thus, in B. Cu + 4HNO3 → Cu(NO3)2 + 2H2O + 2NO2 nitritc acid is acting as the oxidizing agent.

Moreover, in the other reactions, copper (A.), sodium (C. and D.) remain with the same initial oxidation state, +2 and +1 respectively.

Regards.

A metal oxide with the formula mo contains 15.44% oxygen. in the box below, type the symbol for the element represented by m.
lana66690 [7]

<u>Answer:</u> The element represented by M is Strontium.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Let us consider the molar mass of metal be 'x'.

The molar mass of MO will be = Molar mass of oxygen + Molar mass of metal = (16 + x)g/mol

It is given in the question that 15.44% of oxygen is present in metal oxide. So, the equation becomes:

\frac{15.44}{100}\times (x+16)=16g/mol\\\\(x+16)=\frac{16g/mol\times 100}{15.44}\\\\x=(103.626-16)g/mol\\\\x=87.62g/mol

The metal atom having molar mass as 87.62/mol is Strontium.

Hence, the element represented by M is Strontium.

lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

The nucleus (center) of the atom contains the protons (positively charged) and the neutrons (no charge). The outermost regions of the atom are called electron shells and contain the electrons (negatively charged).
