Answer:

The initial temperature of the metal is 84.149 °C.

Explanation:

The heat lost by the metal will be equivalent to the heat gain by the water.

- (msΔT)metal = (msΔT)water

-32.5 grams × 0.365 J/g°C × ΔT = 105.3 grams × 4.18 J/g °C × (17.3 -15.4)°C

-ΔT = 836.29/12.51 °C

-ΔT = 66.89 °C

-(T final - T initial) = 66.89 °C

T initial = 66.89 °C + T final

T initial = 66.89 °C + 17.3 °C

T initial = 84.149 °C.

Which diagram represents an element that is likely to form covalent bonds

dimulka [17.4K]

The picture of correct answer is attached it is the second one from the left since it has 5 electrons in outermost shell so it can share 3 electrons to complete the octet rule, while first one contains only one electron in outermost shell so it easier to be lost, third one has 8 electrons so it has complete valence shell and last one with only two electrons in outermost shell so it is easier to lose these two electrons.
from 5 to 7 electrons on outermost shell can form covalent bond
