Is insulating ability a chemical property or physical?

1 answer:

6 0

The insulating ability of a substance is a physical characteristic and not a chemical one. A physical property is a characteristic that distinguishes one type of matter from the other and can be observed without changing the identity of the substance. A chemical property describes how one substance changes into another in a chemical reaction.

For a different reaction, the plot of the reciprocal of concentration versus time in seconds was linear with a slope of 0.056 M-

Bond [772]

Answer:

$C_t=0.165M$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Slope $K=0.056 M-1 s -1$

initial Concentration $C_1=2.2M$

Time $t=100$

Generally the equation for Raw law is mathematically given by

$\frac{1}{C}_t=kt+\frac{1}{C}_0$

$\frac{1}{C}_t=0.056*100+\frac{1}{2.2}_0$

$C_t=0.165M$

Given what you observe at the molecular/atomic level, why would surface area have this effect?

LenKa [72]

Answer:

Increasing the surface area of a reactant increases the frequency of collisions and increases the reaction rate. Several smaller particles have more surface area than one large particle. The more surface area that is available for particles to collide, the faster the reaction will occur.

Compare 1 mole of H2, 1 mole of O2, and 1 mole of F2. (a) Which has the largest number of molecules? Explain why. (b) Which has

AURORKA [14]

a) Answer:

Number of molecules in 1 mole

Explanation:

a) Whether we take any of the substance among all three of the given substances they will have the same number of molecules in 1 mole of the substance is considered and the value for this will be $6.023 x 10^23$

b) Answer:

In the given question mass of the substance which is greatest is asked for one mole and we also know that mass of one mole is given by molar mass.

Explanation:

b) It is known that $31.98g/mol$ is the molar mass for oxygen which is greater than that of hydrogen while fluorine has a molar mass of $38.0 g/mol$ which on comparison shows that, it is the highest amongst all three.
