Answer:

Use a magnet; Mixture

Explanation:

Suppose you have a container filled with iron and sand. You can separate the iron from the sand if you use a magnet so this is a mixture.

A mixture is made up of two more components that are not chemically combined.
Mixtures may be classified as homogeneous when the components are in the same phase or heterogeneous when the components are in different phases.
A mixture of sand and iron is an example of solid-solid mixture which can be separated using a magnet.
The magnet will attract the iron in the mixture leaving the sand.

Which sample is most likely to experience the smallest temperature change upon observing 55KJ of heat?

Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

100 g of water: specific heat of water 4.18 J/g°C

Explanation:

To know the correct answer to the question, we shall determine the temperature change in each case.

For 100 g of water:

Mass (M) = 100 g

Specific heat capacity (C) = 4.18 J/g°C

Heat absorbed (Q) = 55 KJ = 55000 J

Change in temperature (ΔT) =..?

Q = MCΔT

55000 = 100 x 4.18 x ΔT

Divide both side by 100 x 4.18

ΔT = 55000/ (100 x 4.18)

ΔT = 131.6 °C

Therefore the temperature change is 131.6 °C

For 50 g of water:

Mass (M) = 50 g

Specific heat capacity (C) = 4.18 J/g°C

Heat absorbed (Q) = 55 KJ = 55000 J

Change in temperature (ΔT) =..?

Q = MCΔT

55000 = 50 x 4.18 x ΔT

Divide both side by 50 x 4.18

ΔT = 55000/ (50 x 4.18)

ΔT = 263.2 °C

Therefore the temperature change is 263.2 °C

For 50 g of lead:

Mass (M) = 50 g

Specific heat capacity (C) = 0.128 J/g°C

Heat absorbed (Q) = 55 KJ = 55000 J

Change in temperature (ΔT) =..?

Q = MCΔT

55000 = 50 x 0.128 x ΔT

Divide both side by 50 x 0.128

ΔT = 55000/ (50 x 0.128)

ΔT = 8593.8 °C

Therefore the temperature change is 8593.8 °C.

For 100 g of iron:

Mass (M) = 100 g

Specific heat capacity (C) = 0.449 J/g°C

Heat absorbed (Q) = 55 KJ = 55000 J

Change in temperature (ΔT) =..?

Q = MCΔT

55000 = 100 x 0.449 x ΔT

Divide both side by 100 x 0.449

ΔT = 55000/ (100 x 0.449)

ΔT = 1224.9 °C

Therefore the temperature change is 1224.9 °C.

The table below gives the summary of the temperature change of each substance:

Mass >>> Substance >> Temp. Change

100 g >>> Water >>>>>> 131.6 °C

50 g >>>> Water >>>>>> 263.2 °C

50 g >>>> Lead >>>>>>> 8593.8 °C

100 g >>> Iron >>>>>>>> 1224.9 °C

From the table given above we can see that 100 g of water has the smallest temperature change.

Why are teeth not minerals?

lozanna [386]

Because your Teeth are composed of calcium, phosphorus, and other minerals. ... But bones are still not as strong as teeth. The hardest part of the human body ,teeth mostly consist of a calcified tissue called dentine. The tooth's dentine tissue is covered in enamel, that hard, shiny layer that you brush.

Can I find a tutor to help me with this question?

Eddi Din [679]

INFORMATION:

We have the following statements

And we must complete them

STEP BY STEP EXPLANATION:

To complete the statements, we need to classify matter according to its state:

- Solid:

there is not enough thermal energy to overcome the intermolecular interactions between the particles. As a result, solids have a definite shape and volume.

- Liquid:

That describes the liquid state. In a liquid, the particles are still in close contact, so liquids have a definite volume. However, because the particles can move about each other rather freely, a liquid has no definite shape and takes a shape dictated by its container.

- Gas:

That describes the gas state, which we will consider in more detail elsewhere. Like liquids, gases have no definite shape, but unlike solids and liquids, gases have no definite volume either.

Finally, we know that:

- A solid has a definite volume and has a definite shape

- A liquid has a definite volume and has not a definite shape

- A gas has not a definite volume and has not a definite shape

ANSWER:

- A solid has a definite volume and has a definite shape

- A liquid has a definite volume and has not a definite shape

- A gas has not a definite volume and has not a definite shape

How many moles of I2 will form 3.58 g of NI3?

Mila [183]

1. The balanced chemical reaction is:

N2 +3 I2 = 2NI3

We are given the amount of product formed. This will be the starting point of our calculations.

3.58 g NI3 ( 1 mol NI3 / 394.71 g NI3 ) ( 3 mol I2 / 2 mol NI3 ) = 0.014 mol I2.

Thus, 0.014 mol of I2 is needed to form the given amount of NI3.
