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.

What is the velosity of a 72.3 kg jogger with a kinetic energy of 1080.0 J?
Svet_ta [14]

Answer: 5.47m/s

Explanation:

Mass = 72.3kg

K.E = 1080.0J

V =?

K.E = 1 /2MV^2

V^2 = 2K.E /M = (2x1080)/72.3

V = sqrt [(2x1080)/72.3]

V = 5.47m/s

A solution of malonic acid, H2C3H2O4 , was standardized by titration with 0.1000 M NaOH solution. If 21.17 mL of the NaOH soluti
MrRa [10]

Answer: The molarity of the malonic acid solution is 0.08335 M

Explanation:

H_2C_3H_2O_4 +2NaOH\rightarrow Na_2C_3H_2O_4+2H_2O

To calculate the molarity of acid, we use the equation given by neutralization reaction:

n_1M_1V_1=n_2M_2V_2

where,

n_1,M_1\text{ and }V_1 are the n-factor, molarity and volume of acid which is H_2C_3H_2O_4

n_2,M_2\text{ and }V_2 are the n-factor, molarity and volume of base which is NaOH.

We are given:

n_1=2\\M_1=?\\V_1=12.70mL\\n_2=1\\M_2=0.1000M\\V_2=21.17mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

2\times M_1\times 12.70=1\times 0.1000\times 21.17\\\\M_1=0.08335M

Thus the molarity of the malonic acid solution is 0.08335 M

16.4 mL of 0.135 M NaOH is used to neutralize 46.9 mL of HCl. The concentration of the HCl solution is ____ M (3 decimal places)
marshall27 [118]

The concentration of the HCl solution is 0.047 M.

Explanation:

Data given about acid and base:

volume of acid Vacid = 46.9 ml

molarity of acid =?

volume of the base (NaOH) = 16.4 ml

molarity of the base = 0.135 M

To know the concentration of the acid in this reaction, the formula used in titration  is used. It is

Macid X Vacid = Mbase X Vbase

the formula is rewritten as:

Macid = \frac{Mbase X Vbase}{Vacid}

putting the values in the equation:

Macid = \frac{0.135 X 16.4}{46.9}

          = 0.047 M

the concentration of the acid i.e HCl in the solution is of 0.047 M.

4. (01.05 MC)
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

The correct option is;

The gas particles move faster, have the same molecular composition, and have weaker attractions between them than the liquid particles

Explanation:

The properties of the gas molecules in comparison to liquids are

1) The gas molecules are widely spread out

2) After evaporation and while in conditions favorable to the gaseous state, the kinetic energy of a gas is larger than the inter molecular attractive forces

3) A gas fills the container in which it is placed

For liquids

1) There are strong intermolecular forces holding the molecules together in a liquid

2) Liquid attractive forces in a liquid are strong enough to hold neighboring molecules

3) The volume of a liquid is definite.
