Why does a candle relight if a match is held above the wick just after the flame is blown out?

Chemistry
1 answer:
shutvik [7]3 years ago
5 0

Answer with Explanation:

A candle relights when a match is held above the wick because its trail of smoke still contains some of the wax. When candles are burned, the heat of the flame turns the the wax (which is originally solid) into liquid (commonly near the wick) and then evaporates as gas. The vaporized wax actually protect the wick and this is the reason why it is not burned. So, when you put off a candle, the vaporized wax is still present near the wick. This, remember, holds heat and light energy. Thus, this explains why the candle can be relighted once you hold a match above the wick. It then allows the match to ignite.

Thus, this explains the answer.

Answer:

The answer to your question is: 0.25 l

Explanation:

Data

P1 = 1 atm

V1 = 0.5 l

P2 =2 atm

V2 = ?

T = constant

Formula

          V1P1 = V2P2

Clear V2 from the formula

            V2 = V1P1/P2

Substitution

            V2 = (0.5)(1)/2  substitution

                  = 0.25 l       result

Write the neutralization equation that would take place in the stomach with two different bases used in antacid products
Aleksandr [31]
In order for the human being stomach to digest food, it uses hydrochloric acid (HCl). This is a very effective an dstrong acid that can burn the lining of the stomach and even cause ulcer if this lining does not contain enough mucus.

Back on track, a reaction between an acid and a base usually yields a salt and water. The two bases that we will use in the reaction with HCl are Mg(OH)2 and CaCO3 (note that (OH)- and (CO3)- both define basis)
MAKE SURE TO BALANCE YOU EQUATION, WHERE THE NUMBER OF MOLECULES ENTERING SHOULD BE EQUAL TO THE NUMBER OF MOLECULES RESULTING.

Equation #1:
<span>2HCl + Mg(OH)2 --> 2H2O + MgCl2 
MgCl2 is the salt
</span>Equation#2:
<span>2HCl + CaCO3 --> H2O + CO2 + CaCl2</span> 
CaCl2 is the salt
Carbon dioxide is formed as a result of the additional carbon carbon, the reaction ideally outputs H2CO3 which is a very weak base the breaks into water and CO2
