How can an iceberg (temperature=0 Celsius) have more energy than a burning match head (temperature=230 Celsius)?

1 answer:

5 0

Temperature is the average energy of each particle and does not really give you an indication of the total internal energy. That being said, total internal energy is the sum of all of the molecule's energy in a given object so it would make sense that an ice berg (having a huge number molecules at a lower average energy) would have more internal energy than a match head (having a much smaller number of molecules at a higher average energy). Basically, the fact that ice bergs tend to be huge and contain much more molecules than a match head, means that ice bergs can have a larger total internal energy which means they store more energy.

I hope this helps.

The molar concentration (M) of a solution prepared by dissolving 0.2362g of Cr(NO3)3 in a 50-mL volumetric flask is 0.01985M, wh

Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

Here's what I get

Explanation:

You want to dilute the original solution by a factor of 25 in two steps, so you could dilute it by a factor of 5 in the first step, then dilute the new solution by another factor of 5.

A. First dilution

Use a 10 mL pipet to transfer 10 mL of the original solution to a 50 mL volumetric flask. Make up to the mark with distilled water. Shake well to mix.

Use the dilution formula to calculate the new concentration.

$\begin{array}{rcl}c_{1}V_{1} & = & c_{2}V_{2}\\0.01985 \times 10.00 & = & c_{2} \times 50.00\\0.1985 & = & 50.00 c_{2}\\\\c_{2}& = & \dfrac{0.1985}{50.00}\\\\& = & \text{0.003 970 mol/L}\\\end{array}$

B. Second dilution

Repeat Step 1, using the 0.003 970 mol·L⁻¹ solution.

$\begin{array}{rcl}c_{2}V_{2} & = & c_{3}V_{3}\\0.003970 \times 10.00 & = & c_{3} \times 50.00\\0.03970 & = & 50.00 c_{3}\\\\c_{3}& = & \dfrac{0.03970}{50.00}\\\\& = & \textbf{0.000 7940 mol/L}\\\end{array}\\\text{The concentration of the final solution is $\boxed{\textbf{0.000 7940 mol/L}}$}$

3. Check:

Compare the final concentration with the original

$\begin{array}{rcl}\dfrac{ c_{3}}{ c_{1}} & = & \dfrac{0.0007940}{0.01985}\\& = & \mathbf{\dfrac{1}{25.00}}\\\end{array}\\\text{The concentration of the final solution is } \boxed{\mathbf{\dfrac{1}{25}}} \text{ that of the original solution}$

find the volume of an item using a scale and waterA crown made of alloy of gold and silver has a volume of 60cm3and mass of 1050

KiRa [710]

Answer:

The mass of gold in crown is 960.61 g.And the volume of gold is $49.77 cm^3$ .

Explanation:

Density is defined as mass of the substance present in unit volume of the substance.

Mass of gold in an alloy of crown= m

Mass of silver in an alloy of crown = M

Volume gold in an alloy of crown= v

Volume of silver in an alloy of crown = V

Density of gold = $19.3 g/cm^3$

Density of silver = $10.5 g/cm^3$

Volume of the crown = $60 cm^3$

$60 cm^3=v+V$

$60 cm^3=\frac{m}{19.3 g/cm^3}+\frac{M}{10.5 g/cm^3}$ ..(1)

Mass of eh crown = 1050 g

$1050g =m+M$ ..(2)

Solving equation (1) and (2):

m = 960.61 g

M = 89.39 g

Volume of the gold = v = $\frac{960.61 g}{19.3 g/cm^3}=49.77 cm^3$

Volume of silver = V = $60 cm^3-v=60 cm63-49.77 cm63=10.23 cm^3$

The mass of gold in crown is 960.61 g.And the volume of gold is $49.77 cm^3$ .

An alcohol thermometer makes use of alcohol's changing in order to measure temperature. As the temperature goes up.

kotegsom [21]

The question is incomplete, the complete question is;

An alcohol thermometer makes use of alcohol's changing _______ in order to measure temperature. As the temperature goes up, the alcohol contained in the thermometer increases in volume, filling more of the thermometer's tube.

mass

state

chemical composition

density

Answer:

density

Explanation:

Every kind of thermometer makes use of a change in a particular physical property of a substance as a measure of temperature. It must be a property that changes with temperature.

Density of a substance changes with temperature. Even though the mass of alcohol in glass remains constant, but its volume increases or decreases with change in temperature leading to a change in volume and consequently a change in density of the alcohol in glass. This change is used as a measure of the change in temperature.
