Calculate the specific heat (j/g∘c) for a 18.5-g sample of tin that absorbs 183 j when temperature increases from 35.0 ∘c to 78.6 ∘c.

0.227 J/g°C

Explanation:

Specific heat is the heat change by one gram of substance if it is subjected to change of 1 degree celsius.

The relation between specific heat and mass and change in temperature is:

Q = heat change = mass X specific heat X change in temperature.

Given:

Q = 183 J

Mass = 18.5g

increase in temperature = 78.6-35 = 43.6 °C

Putting values

183 = 18.5X specific heat X 43.6

Specific heat =

answer:

the answer is 6 valence electrons.

explanation:

valence is the # of electrons on the outer most shell of an atom.

oxygen has 6.

although, the valency of oxygen is 2, because it only needs to make 2 covalent bonds, or gain 2 electrons, to achieve the stable octet configuration of a noble gas.

that's it!
