Answer:

The metal sphere was made of iron.

Explanation:

From the question,

Heat lost by the metal sphere = heat gained by the mercury.

Cm(t₁-t₃) = C'm'(t₃-t₂)................... Equation 1

Where C = specific heat capacity of the metal sphere, m = mass of the metal sphere, C' = specific heat capacity of the mercury, m' = mass of the mercury.

t₁ = initial temperature of the metal sphere, t₂ = initial temperature of the mercury, t₃ = Final temperature of the mixture.

Make C the subject of the equation

C = C'm'(t₃-t₂)/m(t₁-t₃)................. Equation 2

Given: m = 0.5 kg, m' = 4.08 kg, t₁ = 300 °C, t₂ = 20 °C, t₃ = 99 °C

Constant: C' = 140 J/kgK.

Substitute into equation 2

C = [140×4.08×(99-20)]/[0.5×(300-99)]

C = 45124.8/100.5

C = 449.0 J/kgK.

Hence from the specific heat capacity data sheet, the metal is suspected to  be  made of iron.

Compare which element would have larger first ionization energy: an alkali metal in Period 2 or an alkali metal in Period 4?
maria [59]

Answer:

An alkali metal present in period 2 have larger first ionization energy.

Explanation:

Ionization energy:

The amount of energy required to remove the electron from the atom is called ionization energy.

Trend along period:

As we move from left to right across the periodic table the number of valance electrons in an atom increase. The atomic size tend to decrease in same period of periodic table because the electrons are added with in the same shell. When the electron are added, at the same time protons are also added in the nucleus. The positive charge is going to increase and this charge is greater in effect than the charge of electrons. This effect lead to the greater nuclear attraction. The electrons are pull towards the nucleus and valance shell get closer to the nucleus. As a result of this greater nuclear attraction atomic radius decreases and ionization energy increases because it is very difficult to remove the electron from atom and more energy is required.

Trend along group:

As we move down the group atomic radii increased with increase of atomic number. The addition of electron in next level cause the atomic radii to increased. The hold of nucleus on valance shell become weaker because of shielding of electrons thus size of atom increased.

As the size of atom increases the ionization energy from top to bottom also  decreases because it becomes easier to remove the electron because of less nuclear attraction and as more electrons are added the outer electrons becomes more shielded and away from nucleus.  Thus alkali metal present in period 2 have larger ionization energy because of more nuclear attraction as compared to the alkali metal present in period 4.

Explain how to convert a mass of compound A to a mass of compound D in words with no equations using the following reaction 2A +
leonid [27]

Answer:

Explanation:

The given reaction equation is:

                2A + 4B → C + 3D

We know the mass of compound A in the reaction above. We are to find the mass of compound D.

We simply work from the known mass to calculate the mass of the unkown compound D

Using the mole concept, we can find the unknown mass.

Procedures

  • We first find the molar mass of the compound A from the atomic units of the constituent elements.
  • We then use the molar mass of A to calculate its number of moles using the expression below:  

            Number of moles of A = \frac{mass of A}{molar mass of A}

  • Using the known number of moles of A, we can work out the number of moles of D.

           From the balanced equation of the reaction, it is shown that:

         2 moles of compound A was used up to produced 3 moles of D

  Then \frac{3}{2} x number of moles of A would give the number of moles of D

  • Now that we know the number of moles of D, we can find its mass using the expression below:

             Mass of D = number of moles of D x molar mass of D

Calcium chloride reacts with sodium hydroxide to form solid calcium hydroxide, Ca(OH)2. The balanced net ionic equation is
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

Ca²⁺ + 2 OH⁻ → Ca(OH)₂(s)

Explanation:

In chemistry, the net ionic equation is a way to write a chemical reaction whereas you write only the ions that are involved in the reaction.

When calcium chloride, CaCl₂ reacts with sodium hydroxide, NaOH to produce Ca(OH)₂ the only ions involved in the reaction are Ca²⁺ and OH⁻, thus, the balanced net ionic equation is:

<em>Ca²⁺ + 2 OH⁻ → Ca(OH)₂(s)</em>

<em>Cl⁻ and Na⁺ are not involved in the reaction and you don't have to write them.</em>
