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.

Lelechka [254]

Answer:

The solution in beaker A is unsaturated

The solution in beaker B is saturated

Explanation:

A saturated solution is a solution that contains just as much solute as it can normally hold at a particular temperature. An unsaturated solution is a solution that contains less solute than it can normally hold at a particular temperature.

If more solute is added to a saturated solution, the added solute does not dissolve completely. However, if more solute is added to an unsaturated solution, the added solute dissolves.

How many liters of 4.0 M NaOH solution will react with 0.60 liters 3.0 M H2SO4?
slava [35]

Answer:

A. 0.90 L.

Explanation:

  • NaOH solution will react with H₂SO₄ according to the balanced reaction:

<em>H₂SO₄ + 2NaOH → Na₂SO₄ + 2H₂O.</em>

<em>1.0 mole of H₂SO₄ reacts with 2.0 moles of NaOH.</em>

  • For NaOH to react completely with H₂SO₄, the no. of millimoles should be equal.

<em>∴ (MV) NaOH = (xMV) H₂SO₄.</em>

x for H₂SO₄ = 2, due to having to reproducible H⁺ ions.

<em>∴ V of NaOH = (xMV) H₂SO₄/ M of NaOH</em> = 2(0.6 L)(3.0 M)/(4.0 M) = <em>0.90 L.</em>

An open "empty" 2 L plastic pop container, which has an actual inside volume of 2.05 L, is removed from a refrigerator at 5 °C a
Pani-rosa [81]

2.168 L of air will leave the container as it warms

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

V₁=2.05 L

T₁ = 5 + 273 = 278 K

T₂ = 21 + 273 = 294 K

Required

Volume of air

Solution

Charles's Law  

When the gas pressure is kept constant, the gas volume is proportional to the temperature  

\tt \dfrac{V_1}{T_1}=\dfrac{V_2}{T_2}

Input the value :

V₂=(V₁.T₂)/T₁

V₂=(2.05 x 294)/278

V₂=2.168 L
