When a student chemist transferred the metal to the calorimeter, some water splashed out of the calorimeter. will this technique

error result in the specific heat of the metal being reported too high or too low?

Answer:

It will be reported too low.

Explanation:

To measure the specific heat of the metal (s), the calorimeter may be used. In it, the metal will exchange heat with the water, and they will reach thermal equilibrium. Because it can be considered an isolated system (there're aren't dissipations) the total amount of heat (lost by metal + gained by water) must be 0.

Qmetal + Qwater = 0

Qmetal = -Qwater

The heat is the mass multiplied by the specific heat multiplied by the temperature change. If c is the specific heat of the water:

m_metal*s*ΔT_metal = - m_water *c*ΔT_water

s = -m_water *c*ΔT_water / m_metal*ΔT_metal

So, if m_water is now less than it was supposed to be, s will be reported too low, because they are directly proportional.

loris [4]

Answer:

D. an orbital notation of the atom

Explanation:

Orbital notiation uses lines and arrows to show shells, subshells, and orbitals for electrons in an atom. Since it shows arrows being paired up in this diagram it would be the best model for Chuck to use.

Finger [1]

Nonmetals which are located in the second row form pi bonds more easily than the elements situated in the third row and below. Actually there are no compounds or molecules known that forms covalent bonds to the noble gas Ne and Ar. Hence the other second row element which is Carbon, is the element that forms pi bonds most readily.

24.08 x 10^23 atoms of Boron (B) is equal to how many moles of Boron?
padilas [110]
1 mole ----------- 6.02 x 10²³ atoms
? mole ---------- 24.08 x 10²³ atoms

moles B = ( 24.08 x 10²³) x 1 / 6.02 x 10²³

moles B = 24.08 x 10²³ / 6.02 x 10²³

= 4 moles

Answer B

hope this helps!

Show how the total charge sodium oxide is zero
coldgirl [10]
First, the symbol for sodium oxide is Na₂O

Each Na (sodium) has a charge of 1+, and each O has a charge of 2-  :

Na₂¹⁺O²⁻

There are two Na's, however, and each one is 1+, however, so the Na₂ has a total charge of 2+.  Because of this, the 2+ from the 2 Na's and the 2- from the O cancel each other out to make 0.
