At the same temperature, steam burns are often more severe that water burns because of water's high HEAT OF VAPORIZATION.
Water possesses high heat of vaporization. The heat of vaporization refers to the amount of heat that is needed to convert a unit mass of water to gas. After getting to the boiling point, a lot of heat is still needed to be absorbed by a boiling water before it can be converted to the gaseous form. Thus, the heat that is inherent in the steam is greater than that which is found in the boiling water, that is why the steam causes more damages.

Thermal energy added to a substance that is not changing state causes the substance’s temperature to
tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

increase

Explanation:

Conduction involves the transfer of electric charge or thermal energy due to the movement of particles. When the conduction relates to electric charge, it is known as electrical conduction while when it relates to thermal energy, it is known as heat conduction. Conductors include metal, steel, aluminum, copper, frying pan, pot, spoon etc.

In the process of heat conduction, thermal energy is usually transferred from fast moving particles to slow moving particles during the collision of these particles. Also, thermal energy is typically transferred between objects that has different degrees of temperature and materials (particles) that are directly in contact with each other but differ in their ability to accept or give up electrons.

Hence, thermal energy added to a substance that is not changing state causes the substance’s temperature to increase because it would absorb energy in the form of heat.

Why do the pH scale generally range from 0 to 14 in aqueous solution?
zalisa [80]

Answer:

In aqueous solution the pH scale varies from 0 to 14, which indicates this concentration of hydrogen. Solutions with pH less than 7 are acidic (the value of the exponent of the concentration is higher, because there are more ions in the solution) and alkaline (basic) those with a pH higher than 7. If the solvent is pure water, the pH = 7 indicates neutrality of the solution

Explanation:

PH is a measure of how acidic or basic a liquid is. Specifically, from a dissolution. The acidity of a solution is essentially due to the concentration of hydrogen ions dissolved in it. In reality, the ions are not found alone, but are in the form of hydronium ions consisting of one oxygen molecule and three positively charged hydrogen. PH precisely measures this concentration. And to do it, we can use simple and very visual methods.

The temperature inside your freezer is 0 degrees Celsius. You place a balloon with an initial temperature of 30 degrees C and a
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

V=0.68L

Explanation:

For this question we can use

V1/T1 = V2/T2

where

V1 (initial volume )= 0.75 L

T1 (initial temperature in Kelvin)= 303.15

V2( final volume)= ?

T2 (final temperature in Kelvin)= 273.15

Now we must rearrange the equation to make V2 the subject

V2= (V1/T1) ×T2

V2=(0.75/303.15) ×273.15

V2=0.67577931717

V2= 0.68L
