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.

A 3.00 L flexible container holds a sample of hydrogen gas at 153 kPa. If the pressure increases to 203 kPa and the temperature
dybincka [34]

To solve this we assume that the gas is an ideal gas. Then, we can use the ideal gas equation which is expressed as PV = nRT. At a constant temperature and number of moles of the gas the product of PV is equal to some constant. At another set of condition of temperature, the constant is still the same. Calculations are as follows:

 

P1V1 =P2V2

V2 = P1 V1 / P2

V2 = 153 x 3.00 / 203

<span>V2 = 2.26 L</span>

Answer:

In the Lewis structure for IF5 you'll need to put a total of 12 valence electrons on the Iodine atom in order to draw the Lewis structure. Remember that Iodine (I) can hold more than eight valence electrons. For the IF5 Lewis structure, calculate the total number of valence electrons for the IF5 molecule
