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.

Identify the precipitation reactions. drag the appropriate items to their respective bins.
lana66690 [7]
I can't fully answer this question because it is incomplete. In order for me to help you, I could just define what a precipitation reaction is and give a concrete example.

A precipitation reaction consists of two aqueous solutions that when reacted together, forms an insoluble salt. For example, 

AgNO₃ (aq) + HCl (aq) --> AgCl (s) + HNO₃ (aq)

In this case, the precipitate is AgCl, Silver Chloride, which appears as a white solid.

5. Can you determine the number of neutrons in the nucleus of an atom by looking at the element's average atomic mass and the at
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

No you can't

Explanation:

The atomic number is the amount of protons in element's nucleus, that's one reason why. The second reason is that the atomic mass is protons and neutrons combined, their estimated value, which doesn't show how much neutrons are in an element. It does show combined, but not specifically neutrons

a gas occupies 600.0 ml at 20.00 degrees C and 70.00kPa what will be the pressure at 40.00 degrees C and 150.0mL?
Zina [86]

Answer:

P₂ = 299.11 KPa

Explanation:

Given data:

Initial volume = 600 mL

Initial pressure = 70.00 KPa

Initial temperature = 20 °C (20 +273 = 293 K)

Final temperature = 40°C (40+273 = 313 K)

Final volume = 150.0 mL

Final pressure = ?

Formula:  

P₁V₁/T₁ = P₂V₂/T₂  

P₁ = Initial pressure

V₁ = Initial volume

T₁ = Initial temperature

P₂ = Final pressure

V₂ = Final volume

T₂ = Final temperature

Solution:

P₂ = P₁V₁ T₂/ T₁ V₂  

P₂ =  70 KPa × 600 mL × 313 K / 293K ×150 mL  

P₂ = 13146000 KPa .mL. K /43950 K.mL

P₂ = 299.11 KPa

Why do living things need carbon
soldier1979 [14.2K]
Animals use oxygen to convert this food into energy they can use, and to maintain a steady supply of carbon atoms that are necessary for building any animal cells. Respiration also returns carbon dioxide back to the atmosphere as a waste product, where plants can reabsorb it in the process of photosynthesis. hope I helped.
