Why can gases be compressed

Physics
1 answer:
Keith_Richards [23]3 years ago
5 0
Gases can be compressed, because they just take up the space surrounding them. The attractive forces between the particles in a gas are very weak, so the particles are free to move in random direction. They just move along until they collide, either with the walls of the container or with each other. Moreover, gases can be compressed because the particles are far apart and they have space to move into.

Rocks Minerals
NemiM [27]

Answer:

Properties of minerals are:

B) made of just one substance

C) made of at least two substances

Explanation:

Minerals & their Properties

Minerals are defined as the naturally occurring, solid inorganic chemical compounds. They have an orderly internal structure with definite chemical composition.

Fossils usually contain single or multiple minerals such as Calcite, Quartz, Phosphate etc. Sometimes minerals are visible in the crystalline form in fossils. So, we cannot say that minerals are made of fossils. Instead, fossils can be made of minerals.

According to the prime and standard definition given by scientists, minerals are usually composed of chemical compounds or multiple compounds such a Halite which composed of Sodium and Chlorine elements. But they can be made of just one substance or element.

Now talking about the tiny grains of sand, that are made of minerals. So, instead of saying that minerals are composed of tiny grains of sand, we should say that sand is made of minerals. The most common mineral which forms sand is Quartz. Sand has a versatile mixture of substances besides minerals.

What is the difference between atoms and particals? Help ​
Otrada [13]

An atom is the smallest unit of matter that forms a chemical element. An atom is made up of three kinds of subatomic particles: electrons, protons, and neutrons.A molecule is a combination of atoms bonded together through a covalent bond. Generally, we think of molecules as having no charge (although molecular ions do exist)

A 45.0-kg sample of ice is at 0.00°C. How much heat is needed to melt it? For water, Lf=334 kJ/kg and Lv=2257 kJ/kg 
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Heat required to change the phase of ice is given by

Q = m* L

here

m = mass of ice

L = latent heat of fusion

now we have

m = 45 kg

L = 334 KJ/kg

now by using above formula

Q = 45 * 334 * 10^3

Q = 1.5 * 10^7 J

In KJ we can convert this as

Q = 1.5 * 10^4 kJ

so the correct answer is D option

North America experienced all of the following during the last glacial period EXCEPT alpine glaciers covered the Rocky and Casca
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

the Hudson Bay was covered with alpine glaciers

Explanation:

During the last glacial period, large portions of North America were covered with ice. The majority of the ice was from the ice sheets that were covering Canada and the northern part of the United States, and the alpine glaciers on the mountain ranges. Hudson Bay was all frozen at this point of time. It was not covered with alpine glaciers though, instead it was covered with the ice of the extended ice sheets, with the ice cover reaching up to 2 km in thickness.
