What phenomenon in nature do scientists use to define the length of a meter? Why is this a better definition than “the length of

a standard meter stick”?

Answer:

The natural phenomenon used to describe the length of a meter is the speed of light. The length of a meter is the length a light path travels in 1/(299792458) seconds through a vacuum.

The definition is better due to the uncertainty involved in the use of the length of a standard meter stick because the length of the meter stick could change due to atmospheric conditions from place to place

Suppose an ice cube weighing 36.0 g at a temperature of 10°C is placed in 360 g water at a temperature of 20°C. Calculate the te
Scilla [17]

Answer:

10.44 °C

Explanation:

When the thermal equilibrium is reached, both of the substances have the same final temperature (T). The liquid water will lose heat, and the ice cube will absorb this heat. The temperature of the ice will increase until it reaches 0°C, at this temperature, it will change of phase for liquid, absorbing heat, but without a change in the temperature. Then the temperature will increase until the equilibrium.

By the energy conservation, the total amount of heat must be equal to 0:

Qice + Qmelting + Qliquid1 + Qliquid2 = 0

Liquid 1 is the ice after melting, and liquid 2 the liquid that was already at the flask. When there's a change of temperature:

Q = n*c*ΔT, where n is the number of moles, c is the heat capacity and ΔT is the temperature change (final - initial). The temperature variation in °C is equal in K, so the temperature may be used in °C.

The melting heat is:

Q = n*Hfus, Hfus = 6007 J/mol

The molar mass of the water is 18 g/mol, so the number of moles of the water and the ice are:

nwater = nliquid1 = 360/18 = 20 moles

nice = 36/18 = 2 moles

Qice + Qmelting + Qliquid1 + Qliquid2 = 0

2*38*(0 - (-10)) + 2*6007 + 2*75*(T - 0) + 20*75*(T - 20) = 0

760 + 12014 + 150T + 1500T - 30000 = 0

1650T = 17226

T = 10.44 °C

Need a bit of help with this. Fill in the coefficients, explain your answer.
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

4Fe + 3O₂ → 2Fe₂O₃

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Chemistry - Reactions</u>

  • Balancing Reactions

Explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

RxN:   Fe + O₂ → Fe₂O₃

<u>Step 2: Balance</u>

We need to balance both Fe and O.

LCM of 2 and 3 is 6:

Fe + 3O₂ → 2Fe₂O₃

We now need the same amount of Fe on both sides:

4Fe + 3O₂ → 2Fe₂O₃

Alja [10]

Answer: Ioniç bond is also called electrovalent bond. It involves the transfer of electrons from positively charged ions to negatively charged ions. covalent bond is a type of chemical bond that involves electrons sharing by atoms of a molecule in order to achieve a stable electronic configuration.. Metallic bond is a type of chemical bond that forms between metal atoms and it occurs when positive metal ions are attracted to a negatively charged electron that are not associated with a single atom. The differences can be seen in the definitions above.

Pauli exclusion principle states that electrons which are identical cannot have the same quantum state.
