Answer:

C_{alloy}=0.497\frac{J}{g\°C}

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to this calorimetry problem on equilibrium temperature, it is possible for us to infer that the heat released by the metal allow is absorbed by the water for us to write:

Q_{allow}=-(Q_{water}+Q_{Al})

Thus, by writing the aforementioned in terms of mass, specific heat and temperature, we have:

m_{alloy}C_{alloy}(T_{eq}-T_{alloy})=-(m_{water}C_{water}(T_{eq}-T_{water})+m_{Al}C_{Al}(T_{eq}-T_{Al})

Then, we solve for specific heat of the metallic alloy to obtain:

C_{alloy}=\frac{-(m_{water}C_{water}(T_{eq}-T_{water})+m_{Al}C_{Al}(T_{eq}-T_{Al})}{m_{alloy}(T_{eq}-T_{alloy})}

Thereby, we plug in the given data to obtain:

C_{alloy}=\frac{-(400g*4.184\frac{J}{g\°C} (30.5\°C-10.0\°C)+200g*0.900\frac{J}{g\°C}(30.5\°C-10.0\°C)}{150g(30.5\°C-540\°C)} \\\\C_{alloy}=0.497\frac{J}{g\°C}

Regards!

If there is no net force on an object, then the object will
user100 [1]
If there is no net force on an object, then the object will <span>maintain it's rate of speed. Basically, net force is the change in an object's motion. If it is stationary and not moving, the object will stay stationary. If the object is moving at a rate of 2 miles per hour, it will constantly continue to move 2 mph because there is no net force.</span>

Which conversion factor correctly shows the relationship between moles and representative particles?
strojnjashka [21]
This is given by Avogagro number: 1 mol = 6.02*10^23 particles

Then you can do whichever to these two relations, because they are equivalent:

- 1mol / 6.02*10^23 representative particles, and
- 6.02*10^23 representative particle /1 mol

Only the second option of the question includes one of the valid conversion factors. Then, the conversion factor of the second option is the right answer

1) Why are the antimony and beryllium ions so small? Differentiate between the causes.
Viefleur [7K]
1. For this question, the adjective small must be percepted in a relative sense. This is because it is not the smallest ion (that would be hydrogen). It could be that the antimony and beryllium ions are smaller compared to their neutral forms. This is because they donate electrons when ionized. As a result, the electrons are reduced, so does the electron cloud which makes the radius much smaller.

2. The periodic table is arranged in terms of increasing atomic number. For neutral atoms, the number of protons (atomic number) is equal to the number of electrons. So, the farther we go down the table, the higher the atomic number. The higher the atomic number, the bigger the electron cloud which makes the atomic radius bigger. Because by definition, atomic radius is the length from the nucleus to the farthest electron from the nucleus.
