Explain using the particle theory why objects generally expand when heated and contract when cooled?

1 answer:

4 0

When heated, particles vibrate faster, thus increasing the distance between one another. The distance between these particles results in changes of state. Therefore, increased molecular motion results in expansion of an object. This works vice versa for cooling. As the vibrations slow down, the particles become closer together. This results in contraction.

5. Using the terms: metal and nonmetal, describe what types of atoms make up each type of<br> bond.

Elis [28]

Answer:

See the answer below, please.

Explanation:

The bonds formed between metals and nonmetals are called ionics. These occur between atoms with electronegativity difference. Example: NaCl (Sodium Chloride)

Instead, covalent bonds are formed between two nonmetals (one or more electron pairs are shared). Example: H202 (hydrogen peroxide).

In the case of metal formed bonds, they are called metallic.

Bauxite must go through two processes to produce aluminum metal. The yield of the Bayer process, which extracts aluminum oxide f

Mashcka [7]

The yield of aluminium obtained from 1 m^3 of bauxite is 419810 g

<h3>What is a Percent yield</h3>

A percent yield of a substance measures the amount of the substance actually obtained as a percentage ratio of expected yield.

Percent yield = actual yield / expected yield × 100%

<h3>How to calculate the mass of aluminium obtained from bauxite </h3>

From the data given:

40 % of the bauxite is converted to aluminium oxide.

Volume of bauxite = 1 m^3

40 % of 1 m^3 = 0.4 m^3

volume of aluminium oxide = 0.4 m^3

density of aluminium oxide = 3965 kg/m^3

Using mass = density × volume

mass of aluminium oxide = 0.4 × 3965 kg

mass of aluminium oxide = 1586 kg

Formula of aluminium oxide is Al203

molar mass of aluminium oxide = 102 g

percentage mass of aluminium in one mole of aluminium oxide = mass of aluminium / mass of aluminium oxide × 100 %

Percentage mass of aluminium in aluminium oxide = 54/102 × 100

Percentage mass of aluminium in aluminium oxide = 52.94 %

Expected mass of aluminium from aluminium oxide = 52.94 × 1586

Expected mass of aluminium = 839.62 kg

Actual yield = 40 % × 839.62

Actual yield of aluminium = 419.81 kg

mass of aluminium in grams = 419810 g

Therefore, mass of aluminium obtained from 1 m^3 of bauxite is 419810 g

Which of the following correctly describes a compound?

Nutka1998 [239]

A compound is a pure substance formed by the chemical combination of two or more different elements.

A compound may be splitted into simpler substances by chemical reactions, and has different properties to those of the elements that form it.

The composition of a compound is fixed: every piece of a compound has the same kind of atoms, bonded in the same way and proportion.

Some examples of compounds are H₂O, NaCl, H₂O₂, CH₃COOH. As you see, they have a chemical formula which states the kind and number of the atoms that form them.

They are different to mixtures, which are formed by two or more compounds, in a variable proportion, and can be separated by physical media. Some examples of mixtures are the solutions (e.g. NaCl dissolved in H₂O), and some solid mixtures (e.g. a mixture of marbles and sand).
