Which statement defines the temperature of a sample of matter?
stepan [7]
Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in the sample. This is the statement that defines the temperature of a sample of matter.

The temperature of a system is defined simply as the average energy of microscopic motions of a single particle in the system per degree of freedom.

The microscopic motions in a solid matter is the principal vibrations of the constituent atoms about their sites. In an ideal monoatomic gas, the microscopic motions are the translational motions of the constituent gas particles. In multiatomic gases, aside from translational motions, vibrational and rotational motions are included in the microscopic motions.

a piece of newly synthesized material of mass 25.0 g at 80.0C is placed in a calorimeter containing 100.0 g of water at 20.0C. I
serg [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is 1.194 J/g.ºC

Explanation:

The heat released by the material is absorbed by the water. We put a minus sign (-) for a released heat and a plus sign (+) for an absorbed heat.

We know the mass of the material (mass mat= 25.0 g) and the mass of water (mass H20= 100.0 g) and the specific heat capacity of water is known (Shw=4.18 J/g.ºC), so we can equal the heat released by the material and the heat absorbed by water y calculate the specific heat capacity of the material (Shm) as follows:

heat released by material = heat absorbed by water

-(mass material x Shm x ΔT)= mass water x Shw x ΔT

-(25.0 g x Shm x (24ºC - 80ºC)= 100.0 g x 4.18 J/g.ºC  x (24ºC-20ºC)

25.0 g x Shm x (56ºC) =  100.0 g x 4.18 J/g.ºC x 4ºC

⇒Shm= (100.0 g x 4.18 J/g.ºC x 4ºC)/(25.0 g x 56ºC)

 Shm= 1.194 J/g.ºC

Give the chemical symbol for the element with the ground‑state electron configuration [ Ar ] 4 s 2 3 d 1 . symbol: Determine the
Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

Sc (Scandium) has the given electronic configuration.

Explanation:

The given electronic configuration is [Ar]4s^{2}3d^{1}.

The last electron enters the d-subshell and hence is a d-block element known as Scandium with chemical symbol Sc.

For 4s subshell

n=4,l=0 and m ranges from -l to +l so m=0.

For 3d subshell

n=3,l=2 and m ranges from -l to +l so m can take values -2,-1,0,+1,+2

Note:

l values for subshells:

s : 0

p : 1

d : 2

f : 3 and so on.
