Seeing signs of a chemical reaction does not always mean that a reaction is happening. For example, a gas (water vapor) is given off when water boils. ... You can tell that it is a physical change because water vapor can condense to form liquid water. In a chemical change, a new substance must be produced.
Answer: 1s²2s²2p³ or it can also be 3s²2p³
Answer:
There are 5 significant digits in 0.23100.
Explanation:
This is because all non-zero digits are considered significant and zeros after decimal points are considered significant.
Answer:
The specific heat capacity of the unknown metal is 0.223 
Explanation:
Calorimetry is the measurement and calculation of the amounts of heat exchanged by a body or a system.
There is a direct proportional relationship between heat and temperature. The constant of proportionality depends on the substance that constitutes the body as on its mass, and is the product of the specific heat by the mass of the body. So, the equation that allows calculating heat exchanges is:
Q = c * m * ΔT
where Q is the heat exchanged by a body of mass m, made up of a specific heat substance c and where ΔT is the temperature variation.
In this case, you know:
- Q= 418.6 J
- c= ?
- m= 75 g
- ΔT= 25 C
Replacing:
418.6 J= c* 75 g* 25 C
Solving:
c= 0.223

Answer:
Explanation:
<u>1) Data:</u>
a) m = 18 kg
b) T₁ = 285 K
c) T₂ = 318 K
d) Q = 267.3 kJ
e) S = ?
<u>2) Principles and equations</u>
The specific heat of a substance is the amount of heat energy absorbed to increase the temperature of certain amount (gram, kg, or moles, depending on the definition or units) of the substance in 1 ° C or 1 K.
The mathematical relation between the specific heat and the heat energy absorbed is:
Where,
- Q is the heat absorbed,
- S is the specific heat, and
- ΔT is the temperature increase (T₂ - T₁)
<u>3) Solution:</u>
<u>a) Substitute the data into the equation:</u>
- 267.3 kJ = 18 kg × S × (318 K - 285 K)
<u>b) Solve for S and compute:</u>
- S = 267.3 kJ / (18 kg × 33 K) = 0.45 kJ / (Kg . K)
The options have not units, but I notice that the first answer is 1,000 times the answer I obtained, so I will make a conversion of units.
<u>c) Convert to J /( kg . k):</u>
- 0.45 kJ / (Kg . K) × 1,000 J / kJ = 450 J / (kg . K)
Now we can see that the option A is is the answer, assuming the units.
