Serhud [2]3 years ago

Answer:

The correct answer is glassy.

Explanation:

Obsidian, or also known as volcanic glass, is a type of igneous rock (volcanic rock belonging to the silicates), formed by aluminum silicates and a large percentage of silicic oxides.

The obsidian is formed when a volcano emerges lava that cools quickly, which has a minimum growth of crystals. In the flows where it is obtained, the high silica oxide content induces a high viscosity and degree of polymerization of the lava. The inhibition of atomic diffusion in this highly viscous and polymerized lava explains the lack of crystal growth, giving shape to the glassy texture.

Have a nice day!

Thermal energy always moves from a greater energy level to a lesser energy level
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

\fbox{Law -Based \: on \: laws \: of \: thermodynamic}

Explanation:

At constant pressure Thermal energy always moves from a greater energy level to a lesser energy level, laws of thermodynamics prove that.

Nature always likes to attain equilibrium either it's movement of heat energy or flow of water from higher region to lower region. The first and second law of thermodynamics are profe of that, the first law says that the total energy of universe is Constant. Energy can not be destroyed it always changes from one form to another, by work and heat. The second law explains why thermal energy moves from a greater energy level to a lesser energy level, it deals with the change in entropy of a system and surrounding and states heat flows from hot environment to cold environment.

A chemist carefully measures the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of a 894.0g sample of a pure substance from to −
astraxan [27]

Answer:

C = 0.2349 J/ (g °C)

Explanation:

Mass, m = 894.0g

Initial Temperature = −5.8°C

Final Temperature =  17.5°C

Temperature change = 17.5°C - (−5.8°C) = 23.3

Heat, H = 4.90kJ = 4900 J

Specific heat capacit, C = ?

The relationship between these quantities is given by the equation;

H = mCΔT

C = H / mΔT

C = 4900 / (894)(23.3)

C = 0.2349 J/ (g °C)

Draw the Lewis structure for methane (CH4) and ethane (C2H6) in the box below. Then predict which would have the higher boiling
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

Ethane would have a higher boiling point.

Explanation:

In this case, for the lewis structures, we have to keep in mind that all atoms must have <u>8 electrons</u> (except hydrogen). Additionally, each carbon would have <u>4 valence electrons</u>, with this in mind, for methane we have to put the hydrogens around the carbon, and with this structure, we will have 8 electrons for the carbon. In ethane, we will have a bond between the carbons, therefore we have to put three hydrogens around each carbon to obtain 8 electrons for each carbon.

Now, the main difference between methane and ethane is an <u>additional carbon</u>. In ethane, we have an additional carbon, therefore due to this additional carbon, we will have <u>more area of interaction</u> for ethane. If we have more area of interaction we have to give <u>more energy</u> to the molecule to convert from liquid to gas, so, the ethane will have a higher boiling point.

I hope it helps!
