1.00 kg of ice at -24.0°C is placed in contact with a 1.00 kg block of a
metal at 5.00°C. They come to
equilibrium at -8.88°C. What is
the specific heat of the metal?
Ice= 2000 J/(kg*C)
(Unit = J/(kg*C))

a. the law of proportion states the combination of 2 atoms in a specific ratio to produce multiple compounds such as the given statement of question ‘1st compound contains 88.8 % cu ’ indicates 88.8 g of cu is present along with 11.2 g oxygen in 100 g of compound whereas the statement ‘2st compound contains 79.9 % cu ’ indicates 79.9 g of cu is present along with 20.1 g oxygen in 100 g of compound

1st compound contains 88.8 g cu

for cu

m = 63 g /mol

atomic % = 88.8 /63 = 1.42

for o

m = 16 g /mol

atomic % = 11.2 /16 = 0.7

b. the emperical formula of 1st compound is

cu1.4o0.7

cu2o

the answer is symmetrical : )
