Heat and Temperature: Mastery Test 5
Select the correct answer.
An iron bar at 200°C is placed in thermal contact with an identical iron bar at 120°C in an isolated system. After 30 minutes, both iron bars are at
160°C. If the iron bars were placed in thermal contact in an open system instead of an isolated system, how would the results be different?
Assume that the room temperature is 25°C.
ОА.
The temperatures of the iron bars after 30 minutes would be less than 160°C because heat would be lost to the surroundings.
OB. It would take more than 30 minutes for both iron bars to reach 160°C because heat would be transferred less efficiently.
Ос.
The temperatures of both iron bars would increase as they absorb heat from the surroundings.
OD. The temperatures of both iron bars would decrease because pieces of them would be lost to the surroundings.

assuming that your periodic table has eighteen columns, you should highlight   the four elements in the third column from the left of the table.

neutral atoms of elements after calcium contain d electrons. the energy of d orbitals of a particular main shell lies between the energy of the s and p orbitals of the next main shell. for example, electrons in the have energy higher than those in the orbital while lower than those of the orbital.

by the aufbau principle, electrons fill orbitals one at a time, starting from those of the lowest energy. the orbital is therefore filled right after orbitals and before orbitals.  

potassium has electron configuration and calcium . the s orbital of a main shell holds a maximum of two electrons. the next element would thus have the electron configuration and satisfy the requirements.

a neutral atom of the element contains three electrons on top of the most recent noble gas element. it should thus be placed in the third column of the periodic table. both scandium and yttrium would satisfy the conditions. an aufbau diagram indicates that the 4f orbital is filled before the 5d. however, it appears that exceptions exists for both lanthanum and actinium. neutral atoms of the two d-block elements also demonstrate the and should be highlighted as well.
