Answer 1) : To rank the species according to the decreasing energy needed to raise the temperature of 10 g of the substance by 25 °C, the oder of energy needed is given below as per their specific heat.
Which requires more energy as per their specific heats;
- water 4.184
- aluminum 0.897
- cast iron 0.460
- Copper 0.385
- Silver 0.235
Answer 2)To rank items as equivalent, overlap them.
The average kinetic energy of the molecules after point D,
The average kinetic energy of the molecules from point B to point C,
The average kinetic energy of the molecules before point A.
The transfer of electrons is an ionic bond, therefore, we need to determine which substance includes an ionic bond.
CO2, is a covalent bond, which is the sharing of electrons, not transfer.
KBr, is an ionic bond, because (k) loses an electron to bromine.
So, our final answer is:- <span>(3) KBr</span>
