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.

Courtney Drive for 30 minutes at 50 mph and for one hour at 40 mph how far has he traveled all together
den301095 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:40 mph = 64.3738 kph

kph/3.6 = m/s

64.3738/3.6 = 17.8816 m/s

30 mins in seconds = 30 x 60 = 1800 s

1800 s x 17.8816 m/s = 32186.88 m or 32.18688 km or 20 miles

The reaction 2 ClO2(g) + F2(g) → 2 FClO2(g) is first-order in both ClO2 and F2. When the initial concentrations of ClO2 and F2 a
kupik [55]

Answer:

3. 75.0%

Explanation:

2 ClO2(g) + F2(g) → 2 FClO2(g)

First order with respect to ClO2 and F2.

This means the rate equation is given as;

Rate = k [ClO2][F2]

When the initial concentrations of ClO2 and F2 are equal?

Let's assume an initial value of 1 for both reactants, so rate equation is given as;

Rate = k * 1 * 1 = k

The rate after 25% of the F2 has reacted is what percent of the initial rate?

The concentration left of F2 is 75% ( 100% - 25%) = 0.75

Concentration of ClO2 remains 1.

So rate equation is given as;

Rate = k * 1 * 0.75 = 0.75 k

Comparing 0.75k and k.

This means our answer is;

3. 75.0%

Student A performed gravimetric analysis for sulfate in her unknown using the same procedures we did . Results of her three tria
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

The answer is Sodium Sulfate = Na2SO4  

Explanation:

Molar mass of sulfate = 1 (S) + 4 (O) = 1 (32) + 4 (16) = 32 + 64 = 96  

Molar mass of sodium sulfate = 2 (23) + 96 = 46 + 96 = 142  

% of Sulfate = (96/142)*100 = 67.6%  

Percent mistake in Studen A,  

(I) % mistake = (67.6 - 68.6)/67.6 = 1.48  

(ii) % mistake = (67.6 - 66.2)/67.6 = 2.07  

(iii) % mistake = (67.6 - 67.1)/67.6 = 0.74  

For understudy B  

(I) % mistake = (67.6 - 66.7)/67.6 = 1.33  

(ii) % mistake = (67.6 - 66.6)/67.6 = 1.48  

(iii) % mistake = (67.6 - 66.5)/67.6 = 1.63  

Sutdent An is some how exact.  

Understudy B is exact however not precise.
