Complete combustion of a 0.600-g sample of a compound in a bomb calorimeter releases 24.0 kj of heat. the bomb calorimeter has a mass of 1.30 kg and a specific heat of 3.41 j/(gi°c). if the initial temperature of the calorimeter is 25.5°c, what is its final temperature?
a.30.9°c
b.34.5°c
c.44.0°c
d.51.5°c

the number of valence electrons for each molecule or ion is shown beneath the structure. remember hydrogen will not have more than two electrons. this hydrogen is part of a covalent bond (sharing two electrons). a double bond here would cause hydrogen to share four electrons with phosphorus.

we can conclude that the melting point of table salt is above room temperature (it's actually 801 deg c). the melting point of mercury must be below room temperature (- 39 deg c).
