A metal is thought to be copper or gold. When 18 g of the metal absorbs 705 cal, its temperature rises by 35oC. The specific heat can be determined in cal/goC. What is the amount of cal that the metal absorbs?

(no3)⁻n has oxidation number x,o has oxidation number -2.(x*1 -2*3) charge of the nitrate ion, and we know that charge of the nitrate ion =-1.so,(x*1 -2*3) =-1x-6=-1x=+5answer a. +5.

Radon-222 or rn-222 has a half-life of 3.82 days. to determine the fraction of an original sample of rn-222 that remains unchanged after 7.646 days, we calculate the amount of rn-222 remaining after 7.646 days and divide it with the original amount. using 1 gram as a basis and using half-life calculation methods, we can determine that  0.249 or 0.25  grams of rn-222 will remain, and thus the fraction remaining is 0.25 or 1/4.
