Suppose it took 108 joules of energy to raise a bar of gold from 25 °C to 29.7°C. Given that the specific heat capacity of gold is 0.128 J/g °C, what is the mass (in grams) of the bar of gold?

m = 180 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Energy absorbed = 108 J

Mas of gold = ?

Initial temperature = 25°C

Final temperature = 29.7 °C

Specific heat capacity of gold = 0.128 J/g.°C

Solution:

Formula:

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = amount of heat absorbed or released

m = mass of given substance

c = specific heat capacity of substance

ΔT = change in temperature

ΔT =29.7 °C - 25°C

ΔT = 4.7 °C

108 J = m ×0.128 J/g.°C ×4.7 °C

108 J = m ×0.60 J/g

m = 108 J/0.60 J/g

m = 180 g

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!
