Answer:

The region just above the light bulb is warmest due to the phenomenon of convection.

Explanation:

In the given case, as Xavier places his hands close to a light bulb, he feels that some of the regions around the light bulb are warmer in comparison to others. This takes place due to the phenomenon known as convection because of which the region directly above the light bulb gets warmest in comparison to the other regions.  

Convection refers to the transfer of heat with the help of mass movement of fluid like air, and the phenomenon takes place above a hot surface as hot air expands, becomes less dense, and elevates. This thing can be supported by the ideal gas law.

1. Addition of which of the following will increase the solubility of CaCO3 in water? Consider the equilibrium process:
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer: HCl

Explanation:

calcium carbonate dissolves in HCl acid producing CO 2 gas. It will not dissolve in pure water. The Ksp for calcium carbonate in water is 3.4 x 10-9 moldm-3 which is very low. What takes place here is actually a chemical reaction:

CaCO 3 (s) + 2HCl(aq) → CaCl 2 (aq) + H 2CO 3(aq)

This reaction accounts for the solubility of the Calcium carbonate in HCl and not in pure water.

The molecule CCI4 contains one double bond and three single bonds. True or False
kifflom [539]

False

Explanation: Carbon is the central atom which has valency of 4 and can form 4 bonds to complete its octet. Each chlorine has valency of 1 and can form only one bond to complete its octet. Thus carbon can bond with four chlorine atoms through sharing of electrons to form four single bonds. Thus it cannot contain a double bond.
