First, in order to calculate the specific heat capacity of the metal in help in identifying it, we must find the heat absorbed by the calorimeter using:
Energy = mass * specific heat capacity * change in temperature
Q = 250 * 1.035 * (11.08 - 10)
Q = 279.45 cal/g
Next, we use the same formula for the metal as the heat absorbed by the calorimeter is equal to the heal released by the metal.
-279.45 = 50 * c * (11.08 - 45) [minus sign added as energy released]
c = 0.165
The specific heat capacity of the metal is 0.165 cal/gC
Answer: The statement which could possibly not be true is C -" Liquid X can exist as a stable phase at 25°C, 1atm."
Explanation:
Triple point is the point where a substance co-exist as solid liquid and gas. At any point other than the triple point, the substance exist as a single phase substance.
As shown in the diagram, Liquid cannot exist as a stable phase at 1atm( below the the triple point pressure of 2atm) as the liquid can only exist beyond the pressure of triple point.
Answer: D
Explanation: Boron (B), Silicon (Si), Germanium (Ge), Arsenic (As), Antimony (Sb), Tellurium (Te) and, Astatine (At) are all metalloids
