Answer:

The inner walls of a vacuum flask have a silver coating to reduce heat loss by radiation.

Explanation:

The vacuum flask has an inner silver lining to prevent the transfer of heat by radiation. Radiation is a process where the emission or transformation of energy happens in the form of wave or the particles through the material medium.

Vacuum flask being working as thermal insulator helps in maintaining the substance its actual temperature for a long time. The silver lining acts as a reflector .It prevents the heat radiation to released out of the flask.

A scientist finds that a sample of matter contains three types of atoms. The sample can be any of the following, except:

GrogVix [38]

Answer:

The correct answer is C. element

Explanation:

The sample cannot be an element because an element - or elemental substance - cannot be decomposed into simpler substances. Thus, it cannot be composed by differents types of atoms. For example, an element is carbon (C).

As the sample contains three types of atoms, it can be a compound, a molecule or a mixture, because they can be composed by different types of atoms - of different chemical elements. For example, the sample could contain the element carbon (C) combined with other elements, for example oxygen (O) or hydrogen (H), amoing others.

What is meant by the term chemical reaction

pantera1 [17]

Answer:

<h3> $\huge{ \underline{ \underline { \bold{ \sf{ \orange{See \: below}}}}}}$ </h3>

Explanation:

▪️ $\underline{ \bold{ \sf{ \blue{Chemical \: reaction}}}}$

⇒The composition , decomposition or displacement of molecules of matter during chemical change is called chemical reaction.

▪️ $\underline{ \bold{ \sf{ \purple{ \: Further \: more \: explanation}}}}$

Various conditions bring about these changes. The chemical reactions are represented by chemicalequation. The compounds or elements that take part in chemical reaction are called reactant. They are written at the left side of an arrow that represent a change while the compound or elements that formed after the chemical change are called product. They are written at the right side of the arrow.

▪️ $\underline{ \bold{ \sf{ \purple{For \: example}}}}$

When nitrogen reacts with hydrogen to form ammonia :

Nitrogen + Hydrogen ⇒ Ammonia

N₂ + 3H₂ ⇒ 2NH₃

Presentation of a chemical reaction in the form of equation is called chemical equation . Chemical equation may be word equations or formula equations.

Calculate the relative formula/atomic mass of each of the following compounds:

zmey [24]

1. HCl (H:1, Cl 35.5) ---> 1+35.5 = 36.5
2. FeS (Fe:56, S:32) ---> 56+32 = 88
3. Cl2 (Cl:35.5) ---> 35.5 x 2 = 71
4. CaC03 (Ca:40, C: 12, O: 16) ---> 40 + 12 + 3(16) = 100
5. Fe0 (Fe: 56, O: 16) ---> 56+16=72
