1) It's like an invisible conveyor.
2) When part of a liquid is heated up, it expands.
3) As it rises, it moves away the source of heat.
4) Conduction depends on electronic configuration.
5) Conduction is the transfer of internal energy.
6) In science, conduction means when energy moves from one place to another by touch.
7) Your body undergoes conduction.
Hope this helps!!!!

Conduction, transfer of heat or electricity through a substance, resulting from a difference in temperature between different parts of the substance, in the case of heat, or from a difference in electric potential, in the case of electricity. Since heat is energy associated with the motions of the particles making up the substance, it is transferred by such motions, shifting from regions of higher temperature, where the particles are more energetic, to regions of lower temperature. The rate of heat flow between two regions is proportional to the temperature difference between them and the heat conductivity of the substance. In solids, the molecules themselves are bound and contribute to conduction of heat mainly by vibrating against neighboring molecules; a more important mechanism, however, is the migration of energetic free electrons through the solid. Metals, which have a high free-electron density, are good conductors of heat, while nonmetals, such as wood or glass, have few free electrons and do not conduct as well. Especially poor conductors, such as asbestos, have been used as insulators to impede heat flow (see insulation). Liquids and gases have their molecules farther apart and are generally poor conductors of heat. Conduction of electricity consists of the flow of charges as a result of an electromotive force, or potential difference. The rate of flow, i.e., the electric current, is proportional to the potential difference and to the electrical conductivity of the substance, which in turn depends on the nature of the substance, its cross-sectional area, and its temperature. In solids, electric current consists of a flow of electrons; as in the case of heat conduction, metals are better conductors of electricity because of their greater free-electron density, while nonmetals, such as rubber, are poor conductors and may be used as electrical insulators, or dielectrics. Increasing the cross-sectional area of a given conductor will increase the current because more electrons will be available for conduction. Increasing the temperature will inhibit conduction in a metal because the increased thermal motions of the electrons will tend to interfere with their regular flow in an electric current; in a nonmetal, however, an increase in temperature improves conduction because it frees more electrons.

Find the molarity of 750 ml solution containing 346 g of potassium nitrate
Zinaida [17]
Given mass of KNO₃=346g
Molar mass of KNO₃=(39.098)+(14)+(15.99*3)=101.068gmol⁻¹
Volume of Solution=750ml=0.75dm³

Molarity=(mass of solute/molar mass of solute)*(1/volume of sol. in dm³)
            =(346/101.068)*(1/0.75)
            =4.56 mol dm⁻³

Phosgene is formed from carbon monoxide and chlorine. At 611 oC, Kc is approximately 16.5 M-1 or L/mol. Calculate Kp (in atm-1)
defon

Answer:

Kp is 0.228/atm

Explanation:

This is the reaction:

CO + Cl<u>₂</u> → CCl₂O

1 mol of carbon monoxide and 1 mol of chlorine produce 1 mol of phosgene.

Formula for Kp which derivates from Kc is:

Kp = Kc (R.T)ⁿᵇ ⁻ ⁿᵃ

Δп = nb (moles in the products) - nₐ(moles in the reactants)

Δп = 1 - 2 = -1

T is T° in K → T°C + 273 = 611°C +273 = 884K

R → Universal constant gas → 0.082 L.atm/mol.K

We replace the data: Kp = 16.5 L/mol (0.082 . 884K)⁻¹ → 0.228/atm

The volume of water that moves past a point on a river in a given time is called the river’s
Nonamiya [84]
<span>The volume of water that moves past a point on a river in a given time is called the river’s DISCHARGE or FLOW RATE. The flow rate is used to measure and study bodies of water to better understand how they work. It is useful in areas such as wastewater treatment. Water flow or velocity typically increases as the the depth or hydraulic radius of the river increases.</span>
