Answer:

3.58J/g°C is the specific heat of the metal

Explanation:

The specific heat of a material is defined as the energy that 1g of the material absorbs and produce the increasing in temperature in 1°C. The equation is:

Q = S*ΔT*m

<em>Where Q is energy = 1362J</em>

<em>S is specific heat of the material</em>

<em>ΔT is change in temperature = 42°C - 17°C = 25°C</em>

<em>And m is the mass of the material = 15.2g</em>

Replacing:

S = Q / ΔT*m

S = 1362J / 25°C*15.2g

<h3>3.58J/g°C is the specific heat of the metal</h3>

How many sodium ions are present in 325 ml of 0.850 m na2so4?

NISA [10]

Answer:

$Na^+_{ions}=3.33x10^{23}Na^+_{ions}$

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, for the given molarity and volume of such solution, the moles of sodium sulfate are computed below:

$n_{Na_2SO_4}=0.850\frac{mol}{L}*0.325L=0.276molNa_2SO_4$

Now, by using the Avogadro's number, the ions result:

$Na^+_{ions}=0.276molNa_2SO_4*\frac{2molNa^+}{1molNa_2SO_4} *\frac{6.022x10^{23}Na^+_{ions}}{1molNa^+} \\\\Na^+_{ions}=3.33x10^{23}Na^+_{ions}$

Best regards.

Which is the most reactive metal

Lena [83]

The most reactive metal on the periodic table is Francium, However, Francium is an artificial element and only minimal quantities have been produced, so for all practical purposes, the most reactive metal available is Cesium, in the alkali metal family.

ANSWER In theory, Francium, in practice the Cesium

Answer:

compound

Explanation:

A molecule is the smallest particle in a chemical element or compound that has the chemical properties of that element or compound. Molecules are made up of atoms that are held together by chemical bonds. These bonds form as a result of the sharing or exchange of electrons among atoms.
