Answer: The metal gets distorted when it is subjected to pressure, such as a blow from a hammer.

Explanation:

A blow from the hammer on the metal is actually applying a high pressure that causes a strain into the metal.

Due to this strain, the atoms of metals get compressed resulting in the formation of a large force which will distort the metal. Therefore, the atoms of metal will move sides apart from each other.

How many moles are in 83.1g of CaBr2

9966 [12]

Answer:

0.416 mol CaBr₂

General Formulas and Concepts:

Chemistry - Atomic Structure

Reading a Periodic Table
Using Dimensional Analysis

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

83.1 g CaBr₂

Step 2: Identify Conversions

Molar Mass of Ca - 40.08 g/mol

Molar mass of Br - 79.90 g/mol

Molar Mass of CaBr₂ - 40.08 + 2(79.90) = 199.88 g/mol

Step 3: Convert

$83.1 \ g \ CaBr_2(\frac{1 \ mol \ CaBr_2}{199.88 \ g \ CaBr_2} )$ = 0.415749 mol CaBr₂

Step 4: Check

We are given 3 sig figs. Follow sig fig rules and round.

0.415749 mol CaBr₂ ≈ 0.416 mol CaBr₂

Construct a model to show the movement of matter and energy from plants into other organisms. Show how mass and energy are conse

ad-work [718]

Plants obtain energy from the sun during photosynthesis and pass it along the food chain.

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

A model is a representation of reality. We use models to understand what the real situation of things is like.

Let us recall that plants are the producers in the ecosystem. Energy flow from plants to animals. Plants obtain energy via the reaction 6CO2 + 6H2O --->C6H12O6 + ATP. This energy is passed along the food chain as organisms feed on each other.
