1375 J of heat energy are added to a 50.0 g sample of copper, which increases temperature from 22.8 C to 94.2 C. Calculate the specific heat of copper.

0.385 J/g°C

Explanation:

Using the following formula, the specific heat of an elemental substance can be calculated:

Q = m × c × ∆T

Where;

Q = quantity of heat (J)

m = mass (g)

c = specific heat capacity (J/g°C)

∆T = change in temperature (°C)

Based on the given information, Q = 1375J, m = 50g, initial temperature = 22.8°C, final temperature = 94.2°C, c =?

Q = m × c × ∆T

1375 = 50 × c × (94.2 - 22.8°C)

1375 = 50 × c × 71.4

1375 = 3570c

c = 1375/3570

c = 0.3851

c = 0.385 J/g°C

"among the transition metal elements, manganese and zinc have a slight lowering of electronegativities. the reason behind this is that the nuclear charges of these elements are slightly weaker than the other transition metal elements due to the way their valence electrons are filled up. both manganese and zinc have their valence electrons filled up to the 4th shell with 1 pair of electrons (4s2) completely occupying it. although the electrons in the 3rd shell (3d) are yet to be paired since the outer most shell is filled up, the ability of the nucleus to attract electrons is lessened. hence,   the electronegativity (or the ability to attract electrons) is lessened."

it’s previous models   because when i picked that son of a gun’s answer it was wrong look for previous models because they might make it a different letter
