The heat cause 300g water temperature increase from 20 to 26 celcius. The heat transferred would be: 300g * (26 °C -20 °C) *4.2 joule/gram °C= 7560J
The unknown substance is added to the water, so its final temperature should be the same as the water. The calculation would be:
7560J= 124g * (100-26)* specific heat
specific heat= 7560J / 124g / 74 °C= 0.8238 J/gram °C
Answer:
Atoms of metal elements give away electrons in their reactions to form positive ions. The ions formed have a full outer electron shell, so are very stable.
Explanation:
To become stable, the metal atom wants to get rid of one or more electrons in its outer shell. ... Alternately, an atom that loses electrons becomes a positively charged ion (aka cations). The particles in an ionic compound are held together because there are oppositely charged particles that are attracted to one another.
