What is the specific heat capacity of a 70 g sample of an unknown metal that releases 6700J of heat when it cools from 90 to 25

swat32

Q = mCpΔT —> Solve for Cp —> Cp = q/mΔT

q = -6700 J (negative because it released heat
m = 70 g
ΔT = Final temp - initial temp = 25 - 90 = -65°C

Cp = -6700 J / (70 g)(-65°C) = 1.47 J/g°C

Rank the elements in each of the following sets in order of increasing IE₁:

zavuch27 [327]

Explanation:

Ionization energy is defined as the energy required to remove the most loosely bound electron from a neutral gaseous atom.

When we move across a period from left to right then there occurs a decrease in atomic size of the atoms. Therefore, ionization energy increases along a period.

But when we move from top to bottom in a group then there occurs an increase in size of the atoms. Hence, ionization energy decreases along a group.

(a) As Sb, Sn and I are all period 5 elements. Hence, these elements are arranged in order of increasing $IE_{1}$ as follows.

Sn < Sb < I

(b) As Sr, Ca, and Ba are all elements of group 2a. Hence, these elements are arranged in order of increasing $IE_{1}$ as follows.

Ba < Sr < Ca

Elements riddle: Without my next door neighbor, I wouldn’t be worth 6 cents. Who am I?

zalisa [80]

If I understand this right, the two elements are Nickel and Copper, elements 28 and 28, respectively. A nickel is worth 5 cents, and a penny, originally comprised of copper, is worth one - the total being six cents.
