Marie is working on formulations of a new type of paint that will last longer and be more durable on metal surfaces in order to
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

The answer is: Applied Chemistry

Explanation:

Apllied Chemistry is a branch of Chemistry that deals with the application and use of Chemistry principles and theories to answer a specific question or solve real world problems. It is aimed at taking Chemistry knowlege from the classroom to the real world. In this example, Marie noticed that a problem had arisen, and that is corrosion of metals, and she set out to apply the principles of Chemistry to make a paint formulation that prevvents corrosion, not just on paper with a bunch of formulas and calculations, but translated into a real life substance. On the other hand, pure Chemistry is the theoretical aspect of Chemistry, where the result of the researches are purely for knowlege and not for real world application.

How does a greenhouse keep radiant energy from escaping?
Rina8888 [55]
Greenhouse effect is the process of trapping sun radiation in the earth surface, so as to make the planet warm. It is a natural phenomenon in which sun rays that enters the earth surface are re-radiated into the earth surface causing the heat trap in the earth.
In similar manner, green house also trap radiation inside the glass house. The sun rays once reach inside the glass house, strike on plants and objects and reflected back. For entire radiation to escape from the green house, the heat flow between the two points must be proportional to the temperature difference and thermal conductivity. The glass of which the green house are made up, have low thermal conductivity. So, temperature must rise inside glass house so to maintain the heat flow rate of incoming and outgoing radiation.
The green house glass are insulated and they trap the infrared emitted by the objects inside the green house from escaping outside. Since the infrared have longer wave lengths, it is released slowly. 

Also, the thermal energy inside the glass house are transferred by convection process. But the glass walls and roof act as insulator, keeping the radiant energy from escaping outside the green house.<span />

the combustion of a sample butane, C4H10 (lighter fluid) produced 2.46 grams of water. how many moles of water formed
enyata [817]
2C_4H_{10}+13O_2 ⇒ 8CO_2 + 10H_2O

n= \frac{m}{M} =  \frac{m}{2M(H)+M(O)}= \frac{2,46}{2*1,0+16,0}  = 0,14mol

So 0,14mol are formed.
