Sodium is a metal and bromine is a nonmetal so they form an ionic compound
nonmetals and nonmetals form covalent compounds
Least dense means the one that is at the top. Wood floats on top of water, so wood would be the least dense. Water has a density of 1 and the others would all sink, so they're more dense. The answer is wood
For this problem, we use the formula for sensible heat which is written below:
Q= mCpΔT
where Q is the energy
Cp is the specific heat capacity
ΔT is the temperature difference
Q = (55.5 g)(<span>0.214 cal/g</span>·°C)(48.6°C- 23°C)
<em>Q = 304.05 cal</em>
