Answer:

It is related to certain common meanings.

Explanation:

The word diffusion comes from the Latin diffusio (wide, dilated, scattered, something that is not appreciated correctly). The term diffusion is related to its Latin word because it is used to refer to the idea that something is scattered, scattered or spread. For example, the word diffusion is used to refer to the idea of the dissemination of news, culture or knowledge.

it means basically the same thing but can be used in different context. like if someone says, "lets diffuse the situation." it means lets separate it and find out what's going on with it. Like if you don't understand a sentence when you were younger your teacher would tell you to break down the sentence, and try to use context clues. What you are doing is diffusing the sentence so that your not looking at it as one big confusing sentence, your "breaking it down" and that helps you a lot. I hope I helped you, if not let me know and I can diffuse the topic a little more to make it more approachable and easy to understand. :)

A sample of methane gas, CH4, occupies 3.25 L at temperature of 19.0 o C. If the pressure is held constant, what will be the tem
Artemon [7]

Answer:

625.46 °C

Explanation:

We'll begin by converting 19 °C to Kelvin temperature. This can be obtained as follow:

T(K) = T(°C) + 273

T(°C) = 19 °C

T(K) = 19 °C + 273

T(K) = 292 K

Next, we shall determine the Final temperature. This can be obtained as follow:

Initial volume (V₁) = 3.25 L

Initial temperature (T₁) = 292 K

Final volume (V₂) = 10 L

Final temperature (T₂) =?

V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂

3.25 / 292 = 10 / T₂

Cross multiply

3.25 × T₂ = 292 × 10

3.25 × T₂ = 2920

Divide both side by 3.25

T₂ = 2920 / 3.25

T₂ = 898.46 K

Finally, we shall convert 898.46 K to celsius temperature. This can be obtained as follow:

T(°C) = T(K) – 273

T(K) = 898.46 K

T(°C) = 898.46 – 273

T(°C) = 625.46 °C

Therefore the final temperature of the gas is 625.46 °C

What is the difference between material resources and energy resources?
Luba_88 [7]
Mineral resources are solid, crystalline substances made inside the Earth. These include granite, marble, limestone and precious stones which are used for jewellery. Minerals are used to make all sorts of different things which we use every day. Energy resources are things we can use to turn into electrical power.

Formula semidesarrollada de los hidrocarburos aromáticos de 1 a 10 átomos de carbono
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

El principal componente del gas natural es también el hidrocarburo más simple: el metano. Este compuesto está formado por un átomo de carbono y cuatro átomos de hidrógeno y se representa de dos formas:

El hidrocarburo que le sigue en simplicidad es aquel que está constituido por dos átomos de carbono. Su fórmula condensada es C2H6 y se le conoce como etano.

Si se continúan colocando átomos de carbono con enlaces sencillos entre ellos e hidrógenos en los enlaces libres, se crean largas cadenas de compuestos. Al etano le sigue el propano (C2H8) y a éste, el butano (C4H10). Todos estos compuestos forman parte de la familia de los alcanos, y sus nombres terminan con el sufijo –ano para indicar que pertenecen a la misma familia.
