The metal is aluminium

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given:

Heat, q = 4680 J

Mass, m = 100g = 0.1kg

ΔT = 52°C

sample = ?

We know:

q = mcΔT

On substituting the value we get:

$4680 = 0.1 X c X(52)\\\\c = \frac{4680}{5.2} \\\\c = 900 J/Kg^oC$

Thus, the metal is aluminium which has a specific heat capacity of 900 J/kg°C

Why do you think it is advantageous to use inert electrodes in the electrolysis process?

olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

The advantage of this technique is that purified water as well as deposited metals can be re-used. It is necessary to use an inert electrode, such as platinum, because there is no metal present to conduct the electrons from the anode to the cathode.

Balance each of the following redox reactions occurring in basic solution.MnO−4(aq)+Br−(aq)→MnO2(s)+BrO−3(aq)Express your answer

Ahat [919]

Answer : The balanced chemical equation is,

$2MnO_4^-(aq)+Br^-(aq)+H_2O(l)\rightarrow 2MnO_2(s)+BrO_3^-(aq)+2OH^-(aq)$

Explanation :

Rules for the balanced chemical equation in basic solution are :

First we have to write into the two half-reactions.
Now balance the main atoms in the reaction.
Now balance the hydrogen and oxygen atoms on both the sides of the reaction.
If the oxygen atoms are not balanced on both the sides then adding water molecules at that side where the more number of oxygen are present.
If the hydrogen atoms are not balanced on both the sides then adding hydroxide ion $(OH^-)$ at that side where the less number of hydrogen are present.
Now balance the charge.
