Explanation:

When wax is heated then the molecules of wax starts to move due to increase in temperature. As a result, force of attraction between the molecules will decrease and they will start to move from one place to another.

Due to heating, the wax molecules will start moving randomly. Hence, wax will convert into liquid state.

When it was solid, its molecules and atoms stuck in place and could not be moved, which is why it was a solid object. Now that it's a liquid, it's atoms and molecules are free flowing and a constantly move adapting to the environment or the container.

A chemist prepares a sample of helium gas at a certain pressure, temperature and volume and then removes all but a fourth of the
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

The temperature must be changed to 4 times of the initial temperature so as to keep the pressure and the volume the same.

Explanation:

Pressure in the container is P and volume is V.

Temperature of the helium gas molecules =T_1

Molecules helium gas = x

Moles of helium has = n_1= \frac{x}{N_A}

PV = nRT (Ideal gas equation)

PV=n_1RT_1...[1]  

After removal of helium gas only a fourth of the gas molecules remains and pressure in the container and volume should remain same.

Molecules of helium left after removal = \frac{x}{4}

Moles of helium has left after removal = n_2= \frac{x}{4\times N_A}

PV=n_2RT_2...[2]

n_1RT_1=n_2RT_2

\frac{x}{N_A}\times T_1=\frac{x}{4\times N_A}\times T_2

T_1=\frac{T_2}{4}

T_2=4T_1

The temperature must be changed to 4 times of the initial temperature so as to keep the pressure and the volume the same.

What is the frequency of radiation.
Ivenika [448]

RADIATION. Radio waves, microwaves, IR, light, UV, x-rays, GAMMA waves etc are ALL Electromagnetic radiation. The difference between ALL the above is the frequency, I.E. The number of waves per second. The higher the frequency the more energy.

Balance <br><br> _Mg + _HCL = _MgCl2 + H2
Pavel [41]
_Mg + _HCL = _MgCl2 + H2
Separate the terms on each side: 

_Mg + _HCl = _MgCl2 + H2

Mg- 1                 Mg-1
               
H-1                    H-2

Cl-1                    Cl-2

Mg is balanced on both sides so move on to the next (put a 1 in the space). 

1Mg

There are two H's and two Cl's on the results side, so to balance the equation put a 2 as a coefficient for HCl and it'll all balance out.

2HCl

Balamced equation will be: 

 1Mg + 2HCL = 1MgCl2 + H2

Answer:

9.1 mol

Explanation:

The balanced chemical equation of the reaction is:

CO (g) + 2H2 (g) → CH3OH (l)

According to the above balanced equation, 2 moles of hydrogen gas (H2) are needed to produce 1 mole of methanol (CH3OH).

To convert 36.7 g of hydrogen gas to moles, we use the formula;

mole = mass/molar mass

Molar mass of H2 = 2.02g/mol

mole = 36.7/2.02

mole = 18.17mol

This means that if;

2 moles of H2 reacts to produce 1 mole of CH3OH

18.17mol of H2 will react to produce;

18.17 × 1 / 2

= 18.17/2

= 9.085

Approximately to 1 d.p = 9.1 mol of methanol (CH3OH).
