<u>Answer</u>:

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

<u>Explanation</u>:

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.

How many Grams of NO is produced if 12g of O2 is combined with excess ammonia?

stich3 [128]

Answer:

Explanation:

moles O2 = mass / Mr = 12 / 2(16.0) = 0.375

ratio O2 : NO = 5:4

moles NO produced = 0.375 * 4/5 = 0.3

mass NO = Mr * mol = (14.0+16.0) * 0.3 = 9g

Each equation is incorrect. find the errors, then rewrite and balance each equation. cl2 + nai → nacl2 + i nh3 → n + h2 na + o2

VikaD [51]

1) Balanced chemical reaction: Cl₂ + 2NaI → 2NaCl + I₂.
Chlorine and iodine are diatomic molecules.
2) Balanced chemical reaction: 2NH₃ → N₂ + 3H₂.
Nitrogen and hydrogen are diatomic molecules.
3) Balanced chemical reaction: 4Na + O₂ → 2Na₂O.
Sodium in compounds has oxidation number +1 and oxygen -2.
