You'll need the specific heat capacity of aluminium to solve this question.
H=(0.005)(37-22)(specific heat capacity of aluminium)
Answer:
cesium
Explanation:
The most reactive metal on the periodic table is francium. However, francium is a man-made element and only minute quantities have been produced, so for all practical purposes, the most reactive metal is cesium. Cesium reacts explosively with water, though it is predicted francium would react even more vigorously.
Answer:
The electronegativity of carbon (EN = 2.55) is too small to allow carbon to form C4- ions with most metals and too large for carbon to form C4+ ions when it reacts with nonmetals. Carbon therefore forms covalent bonds with many other elements.
In a heterogeneous mixture, you can clearly see the distinction between the different substances within the mixture. e.g. fruit salad, paella, nachos
in a homogeneous mixture, it is still made up of different substances, but there is no way of distinguishing between them just from appearances. they have the same uniform composition throughout. e.g. salt water; you know it is made of salt and water, but the salt is dissolved uniformly throughout that you cannot tell.
hope that helps :)
Answer:
Hg
Explanation:
We are given information about the unknown element, and using each characteristic, we can narrow down the possible elements until we have just one possibility left.
Conducts electricity: This means that the element has to be a metal, or a semi-metal, because non-metals cannot conduct electricity.
Forming chloride and oxide ions: When it is seen that it forms chloride and oxide ions in the form of XCl₂ and XO, it can be seen that this element has an ionic charge of +2. This narrows it down to the elements in <u>Group 2.</u>
Liquid at room temperature: This is tricky, because we realize that there are no elements in group 2 that are liquid at room temperature. So hence we can look at groups 3 to 12, and see if there are any liquid metals with an ionic charge of +2.
Taking all this information into account, we can see that the only element it can be is mercury (Hg).
