The reaction of nitric acid and sulfuric acid is highly exothermic so it releases a lot of heat. If the temperature is not controlled, the reaction could go into thermal runaway, which is potentially extremely hazardous.

You are trying to determine the specific heat of a metal. You heat the 97 g piece of metal to 100 °C and place it in a calorimet
Brut [27]

Answer : The specific heat of the metal is, 0.658J/g^oC

Explanation :

In this problem we assumed that heat given by the hot body is equal to the heat taken by the cold body.

q_1=-q_2

m_1\times c_1\times (T_f-T_1)=-m_2\times c_2\times (T_f-T_2)

where,

c_1 = specific heat of metal = ?

c_2 = specific heat of water = 4.18J/g^oC

m_1 = mass of metal = 97 g

m_2 = mass of water  = 122 g

T_f = final temperature of mixture = 28.9^oC

T_1 = initial temperature of metal = 100^oC

T_2 = initial temperature of water = 20.0^oC

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get

97g\times c_1\times (28.9-100)^oC=-122g\times 4.18J/g^oC\times (28.9-20.0)^oC

c_1=0.658J/g^oC

Therefore, the specific heat of the metal is, 0.658J/g^oC

The "Van Gogh" one is subjective, because it expresses opinion and is not a true, hard fact. :)

El símbolo del ion que contiene 24 protones, 28 neutrones y 21 electrones es: (Marque con X la respuesta correcta)
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

d) Cr⁺³

Explanation:

Consideremos un ion que contiene 24 protones, 28 neutrones y 21 electrones.

Para encontrar el simbolo del elemento, tenemos que considerar el número atómico (Z) que es igual al número de protones. Con esta información, buscamos en la tabla periódica el  elemento con Z=24 es el Cromo.

La carga total está dada por la diferencia entre protones y electrones. Los ´protones tienen carga +1 y los electrones carga -1. Luego, este ion tiene carga:

24 protones + 21 electrones = 24 . (1) + 21 . (-1) = +3

El simbolo del ion es Cr⁺³.

Why we need gravity explain in your own words​
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

Gravity is very important for us,animals and plants. We could not survive Earth without it. The sun's gravity keeps Earth in orbit around it, keeping us a good distance away from it (the sun). Gravity is holding down our atmosphere and the air we need to breathe along with it.

when the volume of a gas is changed from 3.75 L to 6.52 L the temperature will change from 100k to blank k
Makovka662 [10]
Guy-Lussac's Law states that the volume and the temperature are directly proportional given that the pressure remains constant.

For this problem, we will assume constant pressure. Based on the law:
(Volume/Temperatur)1 = (Volume/Temperature)2
(3.75/100) = (6.52/T)
T = 166.667 kelvin
