A silver cube with an edge length of 2.42 cm and a gold cube with an edge length of 2.75 cm are both heated to 85.4 ∘C and placed in 112.0 mL of water at 20.5 ∘C . What is the final temperature of the water when thermal equilibrium is reached?

Explanation:

Volume of silver cube = 2.42³ = 14.17 cm³

mass of silver cube = volume x density

= 14.17 x 10.49 = 148.64 gm

Volume of gold cube = 2.75³ = 20.8  cm³

mass of gold cube =  20.8 x 19.3 = 401.44 gm

specific heat of silver and gold are .24 and .129 J /g°C

mass of 112 mL water = 112 g

Heat absorbed = heat lost = mass x specific heat x temperature fall or rise

Heat lost by metals

= 148.64 x .24 x ( 85.4 -T) + 401.44 x .129 x ( 85.4 - T )

= (35.67 + 51.78 ) x ( 85.4 - T )

87.45 x ( 85.4 - T )

= 7468.23 - 87.45 T

Heat gained by water

= 112 x 1 x ( T - 20.5 )

= 112 T - 2296

Heat lost = heat gained

7468.23 - 87.45 T = 112 T - 2296

199.45 T = 9764.23

T = 48.95° C

assuming that your periodic table has eighteen columns, you should highlight   the four elements in the third column from the left of the table.

neutral atoms of elements after calcium contain d electrons. the energy of d orbitals of a particular main shell lies between the energy of the s and p orbitals of the next main shell. for example, electrons in the have energy higher than those in the orbital while lower than those of the orbital.

by the aufbau principle, electrons fill orbitals one at a time, starting from those of the lowest energy. the orbital is therefore filled right after orbitals and before orbitals.  

potassium has electron configuration and calcium . the s orbital of a main shell holds a maximum of two electrons. the next element would thus have the electron configuration and satisfy the requirements.

a neutral atom of the element contains three electrons on top of the most recent noble gas element. it should thus be placed in the third column of the periodic table. both scandium and yttrium would satisfy the conditions. an aufbau diagram indicates that the 4f orbital is filled before the 5d. however, it appears that exceptions exists for both lanthanum and actinium. neutral atoms of the two d-block elements also demonstrate the and should be highlighted as well.
