Answer:</h3>
0.387 J/g°C
<h3>
Explanation:</h3>
- To calculate the amount of heat absorbed or released by a substance we need to know its mass, change in temperature and its specific heat capacity.
- Then to get quantity of heat absorbed or lost we multiply mass by specific heat capacity and change in temperature.
- That is, Q = mcΔT
in our question we are given;
Mass of copper, m as 95.4 g
Initial temperature = 25 °C
Final temperature = 48 °C
Thus, change in temperature, ΔT = 23°C
Quantity of heat absorbed, Q as 849 J
We are required to calculate the specific heat capacity of copper
Rearranging the formula we get
c = Q ÷ mΔT
Therefore,
Specific heat capacity, c = 849 J ÷ (95.4 g × 23°C)
= 0.3869 J/g°C
= 0.387 J/g°C
Therefore, the specific heat capacity of copper is 0.387 J/g°C

Answer:
C
Explanation:
I'm assuming that you meant to type neutral charge.
Since electrons are negative and protons are positive, having a balanced number of both of these would cause an atom to have a neutral charge.
You should read up on Proust's law, better known as the Law of Definite Proportions. This is a chemical law that defines your question more generally, on why the ratio of elements and ions are always fixed.
Basically, this compound Magnesium(II) Chloride is MgCl2 because it has the same number of protons, neutrons, and electrons all the way. This defines the properties of the compound or atom.
