Answer:

Average specific heat capacity of metal = 0.57 J/g°C

Explanation:

Heat lost = Heat gained

Heat energy gained or lost, H = mcΔT

where m = mass of substance, c = specific heat capacity, ΔT = temperature change

Trial 1:

Heat lost by metal = -[2.746 g × c × ΔT]

ΔT = (26.3 - 72.1) °C = -45.8 °C

Heat lost by metal = -[2.746 g × c × (-45.8 °C)] = c × (125.7688)g°C

Heat gained by water = 15.200 × 4.18 × ΔT

ΔT = (26.3 - 24.7) = 1.6 °C

Heat gained by water = 15.200 × 4.18 × 1.6 = 101.6576 J

From Heat lost = Heat gained

c × (125.7688)g°C = 101.6576 J

c = 101.6576 J / 125.7688 g°C

c = 0.8083 J/g°C

Trial 2:

Heat lost by metal = -[2.750 g × c × ΔT]

ΔT = (26.2 - 72.2)°C] = - 46 °C

Heat lost by metal = -[2.750 g × c × (-46 °C)

Heat lost by metal = c × (126.5) g°C

Heat gained by water = 15.206 × 4.18 × ΔT

ΔT = (26.2 - 24.6) = 1.6 °C

Heat gained by water = 15.206 × 4.18 × 1.6 = 101.697728 J

From Heat lost = Heat gained

c × (126.5)g°C = 101.6977 J

c = 101.697728 J / 126.5 g°C

c = 0.8039 J/g°C

Trial 3:

Heat lost by metal = -[2.900 g × c × ΔT]

ΔT = (24.7 - 71.9)°C] = - 47.2 °C

Heat lost by metal = -[2.900 g × c × (- 47.2 °C)

Heat lost by metal = -[2.900 g × c × (- 47.2)°C] = c × (136.88)g°C

Heat gained by water = 15.201 × 4.18 × ΔT

ΔT = (24.7 - 24.5) = 0.2 °C

Heat gained by water = 15.201 × 4.18 × 0.2 = 12.708036 J

From Heat lost = Heat gained

c × (136.88)g°C = 12.708036 J

c = 12.708036 J / 136.88 g°C

c = 0.0928 J/g°C

Average specific heat capacity of metal = (0.8083 + 0.8039 + 0.0928) J/g°C / 3

Average specific heat capacity of metal = 0.57 J/g°C

In the laboratory you are asked to make a 0.565 m sodium bromide solution using 315 grams of water. How many grams of sodium bro
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer : The mass of sodium bromide added should be, 18.3 grams.

Explanation :

Molality : It is defined as the number of moles of solute present in kilograms of solvent.

Formula used :

Molality=\frac{\text{Mass of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of solute}\times \text{Mass of solvent}}

Solute is, NaBr and solvent is, water.

Given:

Molality of NaBr = 0.565 mol/kg

Molar mass of NaBr = 103 g/mole

Mass of water = 315 g

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

0.565mol/kg=\frac{\text{Mass of NaBr}\times 1000}{103g/mole\times 315g}

\text{Mass of NaBr}=18.3g

Thus, the mass of sodium bromide added should be, 18.3 grams.

Analyze: The metallic character of an element is determined by how readily it loses electrons. Elements that lose electrons most
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

Group 1 or akali metals have the greatest metallic property.

Group 17 has the lowest metallic character.

C. As you move from right to lefton the periodic table, metallic character increases which is the ability to lose electrons. Ionization energy decrease as we move from right to left on the periodic table.

Explanation:

Akali metals in group 1 have the greatest metallic property and they are the most reactive metals. Francium metal on the group has the most metallic characteristics. It is rare and very radioactive. Group 17 has the lowest metallic character. This is because while moving across the period, the number of electrons in the outermost shell increases. This make it difficult for atoms to leave see electrons and become electropositive . Group 17 has the highest tendency of accepting electrons.

Ionization energy is the energy use to remove electron from an atom in gaseous stage. Ionization energy decrease as we move from right to left on the periodic table and metallic character increases as we move from right to left on the periodic table.

Use wedge-bond perspective drawings (if necessary) to sketch the atom positions in a general molecule of formula (not shape clas
yuradex [85]

The atom positions in a general molecule of formula (not shape class) AXn that has shape square pyramidal at the corers of square and one at the above center of the square.

<h3>What is square pyramidal?</h3>

The square pyramidal is a shape geometry of the hybridization in which it consists of one lone pair and 5 bond pairs of electrons that repel each other and due to which the geometry changes from octahedral to square pyramidal.

As atoms are located at the four corners of the planer and one atom at the above center of the planner which is repelled by 4 atoms present at the corner of the planer.

Therefore, the atom positions in a general molecule of formula (not shape class) AXn that has a shape square pyramidal at the corners of the square and one at the above center of the square.
