Answer:

1) combustion can be used as a source of energy.

Combustion is used to power rockets

ii) Decomposition of sugar is a chemical change and new substances are formed.

2)corrosion of pipes

Corrosion of bridges

Corrosion of knives and blades at home

I) iron rusts due to the action of air and moisture bon the metal setting up an electrochemical process in which the iron is the anode. This leads to the corrosion of the iron metal.

ii) Rusting is a problem because it reduces the economic value of iron. Rust weakens iron and threatens the integrity of materials made from iron.

Iron rusting may lead to the collapse of a bridge

Iron rusting makes a blade blunt

Iron rusting weakens pipes made of iron

iii) Rusting of iron can be prevented by galvanizing the iron or by painting the iron.

3) chemical change leads to the formation of a new substance while physical change does not lead to the formation of a new substance.

Chemical changes are not easily reversible while physical changes are easily reversible.

ii)condensation of water vapour is a physical change

iii)

Electrolysis of water;

Two moles of water---> two moles of hydrogen gas + one mole of oxygen gas

Synthesis of water;

two moles of hydrogen gas + one mole of oxygen gas---->Two moles of water

Decomposition of sugar;

One mole of Sucrose---> twelve moles of carbon + eleven moles of water + heat

Six moles of carbon dioxide + six moles of water +energy------> one mole of sugar + six moles of oxygen

Explanation:

Combustion is useful as a source of energy because it is used in power generation. Currently, combustion is being used to power rockets. It is also used as a way of providing heat at home.

One of the characteristics of a chemical change is that it leads to the formation of new substances. Since the decomposition of sugar leads to the formation of carbon and water, it is an irreversible chemical change.

When water is heated, it is converted into vapour which can settle on a surface and convert back to liquid water. This is a physical change.

Classify the following situations into contact and non-contact forces.
NARA [144]

Answer: Contact force

a. Applying break in a vehicle.

d. The speed of ball rolling on ground is reduced

Non contact force

b. A coconut falling from a coconut tree.

c. The planets revolving around the sun.

Explanation:

The contact force is the force which exerts when one object or entity comes in contact with other object or entity. For example, on application of break the vehicle stops, the force is applied on the breaks to stop the vehicle. The ball rolling on the ground the speed reduces so the application of force on the ground also reduces.

The non contact force is the force one object exerts on the other without coming in direct contact with the other object. The force exerted by one object on other due to gravity is a non contact force. The coconut falling on the ground and planets revolving around the sun are examples of non contact force due to gravity.

A 15.0-gram lead ball at 25.0°C was heated with 40.5 joules of heat. Given the specific heat of lead is 0.128 J/g∙°C, what is th
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

T=4985.5^{\circ}K

Explanation:

The equation that relates heat Q with the temperature change T-T_0 of a substance of mass <em>m </em>and specific heat <em>c </em>is Q=mc(T-T_0).

We want to calculate the final temperature <em>T, </em>so we have:

T=\frac{Q}{mc}+T_0

Which for our values means (in this case we do not need to convert the mass to Kg since <em>c</em> is given in g also and they cancel out, but we add 273^{\circ} to our temperature in ^{\circ}C to have it in ^{\circ}K as it must be):

T=\frac{Q}{mc}+T_0=\frac{40.5J}{(15g)(0.128J/g^{\circ}C)}+(298^{\circ}K)=4985.5^{\circ}K

What is the height of a copper cylinder ( ρCu = 8.96 gcm-3) of diameter 10 cm with a mass of 10 kg ?
Luden [163]

Answer:

h=0.142m=14.2cm

Explanation:

ρ=8.96 g/cm3=8960 kg/m3

d=0.1m

ρ=m/V - - >ρ=m/[π*((d/2)^2) *h] - - >

8960=10/[π*((0.1)^2) *h] - - >

h=0.142m
