Answer:
Exposure of silver chloride to sunlight for a long duration turns grey due to photolytic decomposition i.e decomposition in the presence of sunlight.
Explanation:
When silver chloride, AgCl is exposed to sunlight for a long time, it will undergo decomposition as the sunlight provides sufficient energy needed to decomposed the salt, AgCl to metallic silver and chlorine gas. This can be seen in the equation below:
2AgCl —> 2Ag + Cl2
When equilibrium has been reached so, according to this formula we can get the specific heat of the unknown metal and from it, we can define the metal as each metal has its specific heat:
Mw*Cw*ΔTw = Mm*Cm*ΔTm
when
Mw → mass of water
Cw → specific heat of water
ΔTw → difference in temperature for water
Mm→ mass of metal
Cw→ specific heat of the metal
ΔTm → difference in temperature for metal
by substitution:
100g * 4.18 * (40-39.8) = 8.23 g * Cm * (50-40)
∴ Cm = 83.6 / 82.3 = 1.02 J/g.°C
when the Cm of the Magnesium ∴ the unknown metal is Mg
Answer:
38
Explanation:
Symbol: Sr
Atomic mass: 87.62 u
Electrons per shell: 2,8,18,8,2
Atomic number: 38
Electron configuration: [Kr] 5s2
Van der Waals radius: 255 pm

Answer:
215 amu
Explanation:
In the reactants:
There is 1 iron atom, 3 chlorine atoms, 6 hydrogen atoms and 3 oxygen atoms:
- Fe: 56 × 1 = 56
- Cl: 35 × 3 = 105
- H: 1 × 6 = 6
- O: 16 × 3 = 48
56 + 105 + 6 + 48 = 215 amu
Hope this helps!
