A hair dryer converts "electrical energy" to "thermal energy".

Option: C

<u>Explanation</u>:

The "electricity" is converted to "heat energy" in a "wire coil". Here electricity process "air" out of "the hair dryer" with the help of forced convection. Most hairdryers use a nichrome wire coil that will not oxidize when heated and allowing it to "blow" the hair dry with high temperature air which speeds up evaporation. Thus "wire heats" the "air faster", in most of the "hair dryers" the "air" is only in "the barrel" for "half of a second".

Real life example of when temperature increases, then the pressure increases.

timurjin [86]

Answer:

Tyre

In cold weather, you might have regularly kept a check on the pressure of the tyres of your car. Driving increases the temperature of the tyres, and, therefore, the air inside the tyre warms and expands. When you measure the pressure of the tyres at the time when you have just driven the car, it will be high. However, in cold weather, the pressure of the tyres will be low. So, it is recommended that you should always measure the pressure of the tyres.

Type the correct answer in the box. Express your answer to three significant figures. Calcium nitrate reacts with sodium phospha

6.07 grams is the theoretical yield of calcium phosphate (Ca₃(PO₄)₂).

<h3>How we calculate mass from moles?</h3>

Mass of any substance can be calculated by using moles as:

n = W/M, where

W = required mass

M= molar mass

Given chemical reaction is:

3Ca(NO₃)₂ + 2Na₃PO₄ → 6NaNO₃ + Ca₃(PO₄)₂

From the stoichiometry it is clear that:

3 moles of Ca(NO₃)₂ = produce 1 mole of Ca₃(PO₄)₂

Given mass of Ca(NO₃)₂ = 96.1g

Mole of Ca(NO₃)₂ = 96.1g/164g/mol = 0.5859moles

So, 0.5859 moles of Ca(NO₃)₂ = produce 0.5859×1/3 = 0.0196 moles of Ca₃(PO₄)₂

Required mass of Ca₃(PO₄)₂ will be calculated by using moles as:

W = 0.0196mole × 310g/mole = 6.07 grams

Hence, 6.07 grams is the theoretical yield of calcium phosphate.

Which metal will more easily lose an electron sodium or potassium?

sergey [27]

<span>The metal that would more easily lose an electron would be potassium. It is more reactive than sodium. Also, looking on the periodic table, </span><span>from top to bottom for groups 1 and 2, reactivity increases. So, it should be potassium. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.</span>

Explain the working principle of a clinical thermometer

bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

A clinical thermometer is a thermometer used to measure human body temperature. Most made in the 20th century are mercury-in-glass thermometers. They are accurate and sensitive, having a narrow place where the mercury level rises very fast. A kink in the tube stops the mercury level from falling on its own.

Identify each of these substances as acidic, basic, or neutral. pure water, pH = 7.0 lake water, pH = 6.5 baking soda solution,

Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

pure water, pH = 7.0 (Neutral)

lake water, pH = 6.5 (Acidic)

baking soda solution, pH = 9 (Alkaline)

soapy water, pH = 12 (Alkaline)

Explanation:

The degree of acidicity or alkalinity of a solution can be determined on a pH meter. A pH below 7 is acidic; a pH of 7 is neutral; a pH value of above 7 is alkaline.
