These three metals- called the alkali metals- have one electron in their outer shell. Since all atoms want to be stable, it try's to lose this electron. They are very reactive, and so will be found in compounds or mixtures, such as sodium chloride (table salt!)

Hope this helps:)

Find the final equilibrium temperature when 15.0 g of milk at 13.0 degrees c is added to 148 g of coffee with a temperature of 8

user100 [1]

According to zeroth law of thermodynamics, when two objects are kept in contact, heat (energy) is transferred from one to the other until they reach the same temperature (are in thermal equilibrium). When the objects are at the same temperature there is no heat transfer.

So, at equilibrium, $q_{lost}$ = $q_{gain}$ , $q_{lost}= q_{milk}$ + $q_{coffee}$
