Ionic compounds are composed of two ions: a positive and a negative ion. For neutral ionic compounds, these charges cancel out. For example, NaCl is a neutral atom which comes from a strong acid HCl and a strong base NaOH. Because they are both strong, the charges balance out and it comes out as neutral.
Neon and Argon are known as the noble gases. This means that there inert and don’t typically react. The noble gases have full outer shells and therefore satisfy the octet rule. Hydrogen, on the other hand, must lose an electron to become stable. That is why it reacts.
Answer: 70.0°C
Explanation:
Quantity of heat = Mass * Specific heat * Change in temperature
Quantity of heat = 104.6 KJ
Mass = 500.0 g
Specific heat of water is 4.18 J/g°C
Change in temperature assuming final temperature is x = x - 20
Units should be in grams and joules:
104,600 = 500 * 4.18 * (x - 20)
104,600 = 2,090 * (x - 20)
x - 20 = 104,600/2,090
x = 104,600/2,090 + 20
x = 69.8
= 70.0°C
