The specific heat capacities of some metals (in J g−1 K−1) are given below. Copper: 0.385 Magnesium: 1.020 Mercury: 0.138 Platinum: 0.130 If 100 kJ of heat is added to 10.0 g samples of each of the metals above, all at 25°C, determine which metal will have the smallest increase in temperature.

Voltaic cells produce a positive overall charge. what does this indicate? a. the reaction is likely to be endothermic. b. the reaction is spontaneous. c. the reaction is not likely to occur. d. the reaction is not spontaneous.

Covalent bonds generally form when the bonded elements have a difference in electronegativity less than 1.5. subtract the electronegativities for the following pairs of elements and predict whether they form a covalent bond. electronegativity difference of c and c: ionic covalent electronegativity difference of mg and cl: ionic covalent

Nuclear decay is the spontaneous decay of one element into a. an x-ray b. a ray of light c. another element
