Answer:
Longer hydrocarbon molecules have a stronger intermolecular force. More energy is needed to move them apart so they have higher boiling points . This makes them less volatile and therefore less flammable
Answer:
The value of x will be "1.4".
Explanation:
The given values are:
y = 9.6
z = 4.0
As we know,
The relation between x, y and z is:
⇒ 
and,
⇒ 
On substituting the given values, we get
⇒ 
⇒ 
The spherical object will float and the square object will sink to the bottom of the fluid as it has greater density. :)
Answer:
As you cool a matter to absolute zero, their kinetic energy reduces significantly and the molecules slows down and begins to aggregate together. ... As heat is added, the molecules gain more kinetic energy. This shown in their increase motion. When heat is withdrawn, the particles slows down hope this helped
You can stop the burning of methane with water or carbon dioxide extinguishers but problems arise when you try to use this to stop the burning of the magnesium.
Explanation:
To burn magnesium (Mg) and methane (CH₄) you need to react them with oxygen:
2 Mg (s) + O₂ (g) → 2 MgO + heat
CH₄ (g) + 2 O₂ (g) → CO₂ (g) + 2 H₂O (g) + heat
However at that temperatures magnesium (Mg) is able to react with water (H₂O) and carbon dioxide (CO₂).
Mg (s) + 2 H₂O (l) → Mg(OH)₂ (s) + H₂ (g)
2 Mg (s) + CO₂ (g) → 2 MgO (s) + C (s)
So the safe option to stop the burning of the magnesium is to limit the oxygen in the air.
we have used the following notations:
(s) - solid
(g) - gas
(l) - liquid
