Explanation:

There are three states of matter: Solid, liquid and gas. With change in pressure and temperature, matter changes its state. A solid has closely packed particles while a liquid and gas have loosely packed constituent particles. An outside force either compresses or expands the packed matter which causes it to change the state. On compression, particles come closer and gas changes to liquid and liquid to gas where as on expansion, the solid turns to liquid and liquid to gas.

Why do we observe national day

WITCHER [35]

A national day is a day on which celebrations mark the nationhood of a nation or state. It may be the date of independence, of becoming a republic, or a significant date for a patron saint or a ruler (such as a birthday, accession, or removal). The national day is often a public holiday.

If you refuse a legal chemical test issued by a law enforcement officer, the Division of Motor Vehicles is required to:

Andru [333]

Answer: Revoke the driver's license for at least 12 months

Explanation:

Chemical tests are used in order to measure the amount of drugs or alcohol that is in the body of a person when the person was arrested. To do this, samples of the urine or blood of the person can be taken and the result will be used to know if the person was driving under the influence of alcohol or not.

If the person refuse a legal chemical test issued by a law enforcement officer, the Division of Motor Vehicles is required to revoke the the driver's license of the person for at least 12 months.

A 15.0 g sample of nickel metal is heated to 100.0 degrees C and dropped into 55.0 g of water, initially at 23.0 degrees C. Assu

OLEGan [10]

Answer: The final temperature of nickel and water is $25.2^{o}C$ .

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

Mass of water, m = 55.0 g,

Initial temp, $(t_{i}) = 23^{o}C$ ,

Final temp, $(t_{f})$ = ?,

Specific heat of water = 4.184 $J/g^{o}C$ ,

Now, we will calculate the heat energy as follows.

q = $mS \Delta t$

= $55.0 g \times 4.184 J/g^{o}C \times (t_{f} - 23^{o}C)$

Also,

mass of Ni, m = 15.0 g,

Initial temperature, $t_{i} = 100^{o}C$ ,

Final temperature, $t_{f}$ = ?

Specific heat of nickel = 0.444 $J/g^{o}C$

Hence, we will calculate the heat energy as follows.

q = $mS \Delta t$

= $15.0 g \times 0.444 J/g^{o}C \times (t_{f} - 100^{o}C)$

Therefore, heat energy lost by the alloy is equal to the heat energy gained by the water.

$q_{water}(gain) = -q_{alloy}(lost)$

$55.0 g \times 4.184 J/g^{o}C \times (t_{f} - 23^{o}C)$ = -( $15.0 g \times 0.444 J/g^{o}C \times (t_{f} - 100^{o}C)$ )

$t_{f} = \frac{25.9^{o}C}{1.029}$

= $25.2^{o}C$

Thus, we can conclude that the final temperature of nickel and water is $25.2^{o}C$ .

Find the empirical formula of the compound ribose, a simple sugar often used as a nutritional supplement. A 14.229 g sample of r

MakcuM [25]

Answer:

CH2O

Explanation:

Firstly, we need to convert the masses of the elements to percentage compositions. This can be done by placing the mass of each element over the total mass multiplied by 100% . We can start with carbon.

C = 5.692/14.229 * 100 = 40%

O = 7.582/14.229 * 100 = 53.29%

H = 0.955/14.229 * 100 = 6.71%

We then proceed to divide each percentage composition by their atomic mass of 12, 16 and 1 respectively.

C = 40/12 = 3.333

O = 53.29/16 = 3.33

H = 6.71/2 = 6.71

Dividing by the smaller value which is 3.33

C = 3.33/3.33 = 1

O = 3.33/3.33= 1

H = 6.71/3.33 = 2

The empirical formula of the compound ribose is CH2O
