INFORMATION:

Is given that:

- if you have a block of plastic and a block of copper that are the same mass and are placed in the sun for 10 minutes.

And after the 10 minutes copper has a higher temperature.

We must determine the reason.

STEP BY STEP EXPLANATION:

To determine it, we need to know the concept of specific heat

If the block of copper has a higher temperature after 10 minutes, that means copper needs less heat to raise its temperature.

So, plastic has a higher specific heat than metal, so it takes more energy to heat plastic than copper. As a result, plastic would heat up more slowly.

ANSWER:

The explanation for the copper having a higher temperature after 10 minutes in the sun, is that plastic has a higher specific heat than metal, so it takes more energy to heat plastic than copper. As a result, plastic would heat up more slowly. Since the copper has a lower specific heat, it will be heat quickly.

Determine whether each description applies to electrophilic aromatic substitution or nucleophilic aromatic substitution.
Alborosie

Answer:

a. electrophilic aromatic substitution

b. nucleophilic aromatic substitution

c. nucleophilic aromatic substitution

d. electrophilic aromatic substitution

e. nucleophilic aromatic substitution

f. electrophilic aromatic substitution

Explanation:

Electrophilic aromatic substitution is a type of chemical reaction where a hydrogen atom or a functional group that is attached to the aromatic ring is replaced by an electrophile. Electrophilic aromatic substitutions can be classified into five classes: 1-Halogenation: is the replacement of one or more hydrogen (H) atoms in an organic compound by a halogen such as, for example, bromine (bromination), chlorine (chlorination), etc; 2- Nitration: the replacement of H with a nitrate group (NO2); 3-Sulfonation: the replacement of H with a bisulfite (SO3H); 4-Friedel-CraftsAlkylation: the replacement of H with an alkyl group (R), and 5-Friedel-Crafts Acylation: the replacement of H with an acyl group (RCO). For example, the Benzene undergoes electrophilic substitution to produce a wide range of chemical compounds (chlorobenzene, nitrobenzene, benzene sulfonic acid, etc).

A nucleophilic aromatic substitution is a type of chemical reaction where an electron-rich nucleophile displaces a leaving group (for example, a halide on the aromatic ring). There are six types of nucleophilic substitution mechanisms: 1-the SNAr (addition-elimination) mechanism, whose name is due to the Hughes-Ingold symbol ''SN' and a unimolecular mechanism; 2-the SN1 reaction that produces diazonium salts 3-the benzyne mechanism that produce highly reactive species (including benzyne) derived from the aromatic ring by the replacement of two substituents; 4-the free radical SRN1 mechanism where a substituent on the aromatic ring is displaced by a nucleophile with the formation of intermediary free radical species; 5-the ANRORC (Addition of the Nucleophile, Ring Opening, and Ring Closure) mechanism, involved in reactions of metal amide nucleophiles and substituted pyrimidines; and 6-the Vicarious nucleophilic substitution, where a nucleophile displaces an H atom on the aromatic ring but without leaving groups (such as, for example, halogen substituents).

Roman55 [17]

Explanation:

"Compound: A substance that is made up of more than one type of atom bonded together. 

Mixture: A combination of two or more elements or compounds which have not reacted to bond together; each part in the mixture retains its own properties."

Gas hydrates are compact chemical structures made of natural gas and
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:


                  Option-B (water) is the correct answer.


Explanation:

                 Gas hydrates are made up of Solid-Ice water and a natural gas like Methane gas trapped in the lattice of ice water. Gas hydrates are mainly found deep down in the sea where the atmospheric pressure is greater than 1 atm.


Generally Gas hydrates have two main applications. 

                             a) It stabilizes the sea floor other wise its melting will cause land sliding in sea floor. 

                             b) Secondly, it traps a green house gases like Methane, if released these gases could produce Climate changes.

If you can help answer the question if you can't then don't
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

Yes its both a physical and chemical change heres why.

When heated , the wax melts to form a liquid wax . The liquid wax then becomes a solid wax upon cooling ( Physical change )

When the candle is lit, the wax near the tip of the candle will melt . The wick then absorbs the liquid wax . The liquid wax then vapourizes due to the heat emitting from the flame . The wax vapour then burns to give off a black substance ( what we will to as CO₂ , soot ) , heat and water vapour

(Chemical change )
