The reason why  Br has a greater magnitude of electron affinity than that of I is that there is a greater attraction between an added electron and the nucleus in Br than in I.

In the periodic table, there are trends that increase down the group and across the period. Electron affinity is a trend that increases across the period but decreases down the group.

Recall that the ability of an atom to accept an electron depends on the size of the atom. The smaller the atom, the greater the attraction between an added electron and the nucleus.

Since Br is smaller than I, there is a greater attraction between an added electron and the nucleus in Br than in I which explains why Br has a greater magnitude of electron affinity than  I.

What is the specific heat of the solid phase? (Please see picture attached)
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

B.0.2 J/g°C

Explanation:

From the attached picture;

  • Heat attained in the solid phase is 200 Joules
  • Change in temperature is 50°C ( from 0°C to 50°C)
  • Mass of the solid is 20 g

We are required to determine the specific heat capacity of the substance;

  • We need to know that Quantity of heat is given by the product of mass,specific heat capacity and change in temperature.
  • That is; Q = mcΔT

Rearranging the formula;

c = Q ÷ mΔT

Therefore;

Specific heat = 200 J ÷ (20 g × 50°c)

                      = 0.2 J/g°C

Thus, the specific heat of the solid is 0.2 J/g°C
