Which statement BEST explains why the specific heat of water is higher than the specific heat of most other substances? A) Due t

o its polarity and hydrogen bonding water can absorb heat without a significant temperature change. B) Due to the ionic bonding in liquid water, it takes more heat energy to reach boiling. C) Because water is a covalent compound, it takes a lot of energy to change its kinetic energy. D) Water has a higher density value than most substances and requires more energy to change the temperature.

Which of the following are single-displacement reactions?
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

A & D

Explanation:

A single-displacement reaction is a chemical reaction whereby one element is substituted for another one in a compound and thereby generating a new element and also a new compound as products.

From the options, only options A & D fits this definition of single-displacement reactions.

For option D: Both left and hand and right hand sides each have one element and one compound. We can see that K is substituted from KBr to join Cl to form KCl and Br2 on the right hand side.

For option A: Both left and hand and right hand sides each have one element and one compound. We can see that OH is substituted from 2H2O to join Mg to form Mg(OH)2 and H2 on the right hand side.

The other options are not correct because they don't involve only and element and a compound on each side of the reaction.

If you started the motor of a boat in the middle of a lake, who would detect the sound of the motor first: a friend sitting on t
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

A friend snorkeling just below the surface of the water along the same shore will detect the sound first.

Explanation:

  • The speed of sound in water medium is faster than that through the air.
  • Sound propagates through the medium by transferring through the molecules on it. Water has more closely packed molecules due to which the speed is faster.
  • In fact, the sound's speed in water is almost four times faster than that in the air.
  • So the guy in the water surface gets to hear sound faster than the one in sore.

A karate master strikes a board with an initial velocity of 10.0 m/s, decreasing to 1.0 m/s as his hand passes through the board
kenny6666 [7]

The force exerted on the board by the karate master given the data is -4500 N

<h3>Data obtained from the question </h3>
  • Initial velocity (u) = 10 m/s
  • Final velocity (v) = 1 m/s
  • Time (t) = 0.002 s
  • Mass (m) = 1 Kg
  • Force (F) = ?
<h3>How to determine the force</h3>

The force exerted can be obtained as illustrated below:

F = m(v - u) / t

F = 1 (1 - 10) / 0.002

F = (1 × -9) / 0.002

F = -4500 N
