PLEASE HELP:<br><br> iron reacts with nitrogen to form iron(III) nitride

lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

$2Fe +N_{2} -> 2FeN$

Explanation:

Iron is Fe, nitrogen is N. Nitrogen is diatomic, which means it occurs as a molecular pair by itself. Iron III nitride has a chemical formula of FeN because nitrogen has a charge of 3-, and iron III tells us the iron has a charge of 3+ so you just need one of each to make the charges balance and the compound neutral.

The specific heat of copper metal is 0. 385 J/(g °C). How much energy must be added to a 35. 0-gram sample of copper to change t

Rus_ich [418]

The amount of heat required for changing the temperature of copper has been 606 J. Thus, option B is correct.

Specific heat has been defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of substance by 1 degree Celsius.

The heat required to raise the temperature has been expressed as:

$\rm Heat=mass\;\times\;specific\;heat\;\times\;Change\;in\;temperature$
