explain how a grain of sand that wash up on a beach could end up some day as lava pouring from a volcano?

The grain would have to be subducted into a plate boundary so that means maybe it got washed away from the storm of waves. Then it would end up in a oceanic trench. The sand grain and all of the other particles get buried and pulled deeper and deeper. They become metamorphosed and then, as the temperatures continue to rise, they finally melt. That melt is called magma and is lighter than the surrounding rocks because it is liquid. That magma can make its way to the surface to create a volcanic eruption!

The properties of several unknown solids were measured. Solid Melting point Other properties A >1000 °C does not conduct elec
zhenek [66]

Explanation:

A solid compound formed by chemical reaction of a positively charged cation with a negatively charged anion is known as ionic solid. Ionic bonds exist between an ionic solid.

When dissolved in water, ionic solids dissociate into ions. Hence, they are able to conduct electricity as electricity is the flow of ions or electrons.

A molecular solid is a solid in which molecules are held together by Vander waal forces. They do not conduct electricity as there is no unbalanced charge on the compound.

Solids in which atoms of metal are held together by metallic bonds are known as metallic solids. These conduct electricity when present in solid state for bond overlap.

A covalent solid is a substance in which atoms are held together by covalent bonds. They do not conduct electricity and have high melting point.

Thus, we can conclude the following.

  • A >1000 °C does not conduct electricity : Covalent solids
  • B 850 °C conducts electricity in the liquid state, but not in the solid state : Ionic solid
  • C 750 °C conducts electricity in the solid state : Metallic solid
  • D 150 °C does not conduct electricity : Molecular solid

I need help.. thanks

Solid - Retains its shape no matter the container

Gas - Particles move freely but dont go far

Liquid - Expands to fit the volume of container

Plasma - I guess the oter thing

The wavelength of a particular color of violet light is 433 nm. The energy of this wavelength of light is kJ/photon. (109 nm = 1
mash [69]

Answer:

4.59 × 10⁻³⁶ kJ/photon

Explanation:

Step 1: Given and required data

  • Wavelength of the violet light (λ): 433 nm
  • Planck's constant (h): 6.63 × 10⁻³⁴ J.s
  • Speed of light (c): 3.00 × 10⁸ m/s

Step 2: Convert "λ" to meters

We will use the conversion factor 1 m = 10⁹ nm.

433 nm × 1 m/10⁹ nm = 4.33 × 10⁷ m

Step 3: Calculate the energy (E) of the photon

We will use the Planck-Einstein's relation.

E = h × c/λ

E = 6.63 × 10⁻³⁴ J.s × (3.00 × 10⁸ m/s)/4.33 × 10⁷ m

E = 4.59 × 10⁻³³ J = 4.59 × 10⁻³⁶ kJ
