Answer: 70.0°C
Explanation:
Quantity of heat = Mass * Specific heat * Change in temperature
Quantity of heat = 104.6 KJ
Mass = 500.0 g
Specific heat of water is 4.18 J/g°C
Change in temperature assuming final temperature is x = x - 20
Units should be in grams and joules:
104,600 = 500 * 4.18 * (x - 20)
104,600 = 2,090 * (x - 20)
x - 20 = 104,600/2,090
x = 104,600/2,090 + 20
x = 69.8
= 70.0°C
Metals usually become cations since electrons are negatively charged and when they are lost there are more protons than electrons making a positive net charge in the atom. (cations are positively charged ions while anions are negatively charged ions)
I hope this helps. Let me know if anything is unclear.
