Answer:

The final temperature will be close to 20°C

Explanation:

First of all, the resulting temperature of the mix can't be higher than the hot substance's (80°C) or lower than the cold one's (20°C). So options d) and e) are imposible.

Now, due to the high heat capacity of water (4,1813 J/mol*K) it can absorb a huge amount of heat without having a great increment in its temperature. On the other hand, copper have a small heat capacity (0,385 J/mol*K)in comparison.

In conclusion, the copper will release its heat decreasing importantly its temperature and the water will absorb that heat resulting in a small increment of temperature. So the final temperature will be close to 20°C

This analysis can be done because we have equal masses of both substances.

Identify the property of the matter described below.

ZanzabumX [31]

Answer: C.

Explanation: Alcohol floats on oil and water sinks in oil. Water, alcohol, and oil layer well because of their densities, but also because the oil layer does not dissolve in either liquid. The oil keeps the water and alcohol separated so that they do not dissolve in one another. ... Water sinks because it is more dense than oil.

A glass flask whose volume is 1000 cm3 at a temperature of 0.800 C is completely filled with mercury at the same temperature. Wh

ira [324]

Answer: the coefficient of volume expansion of glass = 0.86/(1000 * 52) = 0.00001654 per degree.

Explanation:

Original volume of mercury = 1000 cm3.

The final volume of mercury considering its volume expansion quotient = 1000 + 1000*(1.8*10^-4 *52) = 1000 + 9.36 = 1009.36 cm^3

Considering the glass as a non expanding substance, the complete excess volume of 9.36 cm3 of mercury should have overflown the container, but due to the expansion of glass, the capacity of mercury containment increases and so a lesser amount of mercury flows out.

The amount of mercury that actually flowed out = 8.50 cm3.

So, the expansion of the glass container = 9.36-8.50 = 0.86 cm3.

Using the formula for coefficient of expansion,

coefficient of volume expansion of glass = 0.86/(1000 * 52) = 0.00001654 per degree.

Each substance has a unique set of properties that depends on the kinds of atoms it has and how the atoms are connected, or bond

Both diamond and graphite are allotropes of carbon. Diamond has a high tensile strength but graphite does not.

<h3>What is a molecular model?</h3>

A molecular model is used to describe the actual behavior of a chemical compound based on the kind of bonds that exists in the molecule. Now we are talking about diamond and graphite.

Graphite is composed of hexagonal rings of carbon atoms that form layers that are held together by weak Van Der Walls forces hence they can slide over each other. This is the reason why graphite does not have a high tensile strength.

On the other hand, diamond is made up of octagonal rings of carbon atoms which are rigid and form a strong covalent network solid that explains why graphite has a high tensile strength.

What are the differences between thermoplastics and thermosetting plastics? Give examples and draw a simple diagram to show what

Olenka [21]

on the basis of the reaction of heat in plastic , their are two types of plastics : 

<h2>Thermoplastic & Thermosetting plastics </h2>

Thermoplastics : Plastics which easily get deformed (become soft )on heating and also get bend easily are known as thermoplastics .

examples : polythene , polyvinyl chloride and polystyrene .

thermosetting plastics : plastics which once moulded into a shape do not become soft on heating and cannot be moulded again are called thermosetting plastics .

examples : bakelite , melamine and formica
