How many joules of heat is lost when a 64 g piece of copper cools from 375 oC to 26 oC? The specific heat of copper is 0.38 J/go
Svetlanka [38]

Answer: 8500 J lost or -8500 J

Explanation:

q=cmt

t=375-26

t=349

q=0.38(64)(349)

q=8487.68 J

Answer must have 2 sig figs, which means it rounds to 8500 J.

To what characteristics of the group 1 metallic elements can the ease with which their sons form +1 monatomic ions be attributed
ArbitrLikvidat [17]
Group 1 elements (usually called alkali metals) are not very electronegative and have small ionization energies due to that.  The reason why they are not very electronegative is that they really want to loose their one valence electron so that they can have a noble gas electron configuration (completed octet).

I hope this helps.

State the guideline you can use to predict the formula of:
Cerrena [4.2K]

We can predict formula of ionic compounds by:

  • Take a look at where the elements are listed on the periodic table.
  • The amount of electrons that an element would need to gain or lose in order to resemble an atom of a nearby noble gas is one of the similarities that atoms in the same column as one another (group) tend to display.
  • Alkali metal group I ions have +1 charges.
  • Alkaline earth metals (group 2 ions) have a +2 charge.
  • Nonmetal group 6 ions have a charge of -2.
  • Halides in group 7 have a -1 charge.
  • The charges of the transition metals cannot be predicted in a straightforward manner.
  • Check out a table of charges (valences) to see potential values. The +1, +2, and +3 charges are most frequently employed in beginning and general chemistry courses.
  • Keep in mind that the positive ion is always stated first when writing an ionic compound's formula.

These are the few guidelines we can use to product formula.
