it has less tightly bound electrons, is able to lose electron easily as compare to metal B at it has 4 unpaired electron in 3d sub-shell.
Mass number = protons + neutrons
mass number = 5 + 7
mass number = 12
Answer:
50,849.25 Joules
Explanation:
The amount of heat, Q, required to raise the temperature of a body with mass, m, and specific heat capacity, c is given by:
Q = mcΔT, where ΔT represents the change in temperature.
In the case of the iron block:
m = 75 g
c = 0.449 J/g °C
ΔT = 1535 - 25 = 1510 °C
Therefore,
Q = 75 g x 0.449 J/g °C x 1510 °C
= 50,849.25 Joules
<em>Hence, </em><em>50,849.25 Joules </em><em> of heat must be added to a 75.0-g iron block with a specific heat of 0.449 J/g °C to increase its temperature from 25 °C to its melting temperature of 1535 °C</em>
