The characteristic of water that is responsible for frost wedging is that it expands as it freezes and is denoted as option A.

<h3>What is Frost wedging?</h3>

This is referred to a type of physical weathering  which is characterized by rocks being broken down into smaller particles through the freezing and thawing process.

This is possible because water is known to expand as it freezes thereby resulting in the expansion of the rocks which forms cracks as a result of frequent freezing and thawing processes.

This is therefore the most appropriate characteristic of water which makes it possible for frost wedging to take place.

A pharmacist wishes to strengthen a mixture from 10%alcohol to 30% alcohol. How much pure alcohol should be added to 7 liters of
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

2 litres of pure alcohol will be added to make the overall concentration of 9 litres of mixture as 30%.

Explanation:

Suppose x is the number of litres added to the 10% mixture than the quantity of new mixture is given as below

  • n_{old}=7 litres
  • n_{new}=7+x litres

Also the quantity of alcohol is given as

  • q_{old}=10 \% \, of \, 7 \, litres =0.7
  • q_{added}=x
  • q_{new}= 30 \% \,of \,new\, quantity = 0.3(7+x)

Now the equation is as

                                  q_{old}+q_{added}=q_{new}\\0.7+x=0.3(7+x)\\0.7+x=2.1+0.3x\\x-0.3x=2.1-0.7\\0.7x=1.4\\x=2 \, litres

So 2 litres of pure alcohol will be added to make the overall concentration of 9 litres of mixture as 30%.

How are electrons excited in element?
sineoko [7]

Answer:

By absorbing energy electron is jump into higher energy level. This is called excitation.

Explanation:

The electron is jumped into higher level and back into lower level by absorbing and releasing the energy.

The process is called excitation and de-excitation.

Excitation:

When the energy is provided to the atom the electrons by absorbing the energy jump to the higher energy levels. This process is called excitation. The amount of energy absorbed by the electron is exactly equal to the energy difference of orbits.  For example if electron jumped from K to L it must absorbed the energy which is equal the energy difference of these two level. The excited electron thus move back to lower energy level which is K by releasing the energy.

De-excitation:

When the excited electron fall back to the lower energy levels the energy is released in the form of radiations. this energy is exactly equal to the energy difference between the orbits. The characteristics bright colors are due to the these emitted radiations. These emitted radiations can be seen if they are fall in the visible region of spectrum.
