Answer:

The solid will start to transition from a solid to a liquid.

Explanation:

When a solid reaches the point of its melting point, the substance will start to turn into liquid form. As long as energy is constantly added, it will soon turn fully liquid. However, when it reaches it melting point, it will flip back and forth from solid to liquid form (solid to liquid equilibrium) until the energy added allows it to become fully liquid.

Take H2O for example. The melting point of solid water is 0°C. At that point, the solid ice starts to turn into water, but still is kinda solid and the ice shape is still there. When it is continuously heated (add energy), it will turn into liquid H2O.

given that the speed of light is 2.998 x 108 m/s, what is the frequency of a wave that has a wavelength of 3.55 x 10-8 meters

Vesna [10]

Frequency, f = v / λ

f = 2.998 * 10⁸ / 3.55*10⁻⁸

f = 8.445 * 10¹⁵ Hz.

15. An electrically neutral atom consists of 15 neutrons, 13 electrons, and a number of protons. What is its mass number?

Korvikt [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

it states that the atom is neutral, meaning the number of electrons and protons are the same. so if there are 13 electrons, there are 13 protons. And the mass number is neutrons plus protons. So 13+15 is 28

In the Haber reaction, patented by German chemist Fritz Haber in 1908, dinitrogen gas combines with dihydrogen gas to produce ga

Reptile [31]

Answer:

The rate at which ammonia is being produced is 0.41 kg/sec.

Explanation:

$N_2+3H_2\rightarrow 2NH_3$ Haber reaction

Volume of dinitrogen consumed in a second = 505 L

Temperature at which reaction is carried out,T= 172°C = 445.15 K

Pressure at which reaction is carried out, P = 0.88 atm

Let the moles of dinitrogen be n.

Using an Ideal gas equation:

$PV=nRT$

$n=\frac{PV}{RT}=\frac{0.88 atm\times 505 L}{0.0821 atm l/mol K\times 445.15 K}=12.1597 mol$

According to reaction , 1 mol of ditnitrogen gas produces 2 moles of ammonia.

Then 12.1597 mol of dinitrogen will produce :

$\frac{2}{1}\times 12.1597 mol=24.3194 mol$ of ammonia

Mass of 24.3194 moles of ammonia =24.3194 mol × 17 g/mol

=413.43 g=0.41343 kg ≈ 0.41 kg

505 L of dinitrogen are consumed in 1 second to produce 0.41 kg of ammonia in 1 second. So the rate at which ammonia is being produced is 0.41 kg/sec.

Which statement accurately describes the evidence that scientists gather using fossils? Check all that apply.

OLga [1]

Complete question is;

Which statements accurately describe the evidence that scientists gather using fossils? Check all that apply.

A) The fossil record can be used to date rocks.

B) Living things with many cells have always lived on Earth.

C) Simple organisms are found only in young rocks.

D) Geologists study ancient remains of plants and animals.

E) Scientists can figure out what ancient living things ate.

F) Pollen and seeds help provide clues about ancient climates.

Answer:

A) The fossil record can be used to date rocks

E) Scientists can figure out what ancient living things ate.

F) Pollen and seeds help provide clues about ancient climates

Explanation:

In scientific research, fossils are sometimes referred to as animals and plant. Now, in studying records of fossils, it will be easy to know the length of existence of living things on the Earth. Also, we can be able to identify the manner in which different relationships exists between plants and animals by predicting their lifestyles, location of their habitation e.t.c which can be used to predict the old time climates.

Looking at the options given in relation to the explanation given, options A, E & F are correct
