Balance the following chemical equation
Mg(s) + AlCl3(aq) --> Al(s) + MgCl2(aq)
3Mg(s) + 2AlCl3(aq) --> 2Al(s) + 3MgCl2(aq)
Latent heat
The amount of heat absorbed or released by a substance during a phase change
A calorimetry experiment is performed on a 112.1g sample of metal. It is heated to a temperature of 175.0 ºC and put in a calorimeter that contains 250.0g of water. If the water's temperature rises from 27.1 ºC to 31.7 ºC, what is the specific heat capacity of the metal? Ignore the calorimeter in your calculation.
The specific heat is 0.30 J/gºC.
What kind of bonds connect water molecules?
