Molecules will be very calm at - 272 °C.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>:</h3>

According to the temperature scale, the least temperature that we can ever achieve in our practical life is - 273°C. This is the temperature from where our kelvin scale of temperature or absolute temperature starts.

The temperature of a substance is the practical manifestation of the internal energy of the substance. And this internal energy is actually reserved in form of molecular vibrations of the substance. With increasing heat, the temperature of the substance increase because of the increase in molecular vibrations of the substance. With decrease in temperature, the vibrations lessen untill - 273°C or 0K where they become completely still. So cooling beyond that point isn't possible. So at - 272°C or 1K, the molecules will be very lightly vibrating and they will have the least possible internal energy.

Propane burns in oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and steam. The unbalanced equation for this reaction is: C3H8 + O2 → CO2 + H2O

NemiM [27]

Here is your answer

C3H8 + O2-----> CO2 + H2O

Balancing C atoms

C3H8 + O2------> 3CO2 + H2O

Balancing H atoms

C3H8 + O2------> 3CO2 + 4H2O

Balancing O atoms

C3H8 + $\bold{5}$ O2-------> $\bold{3}$ CO2 + $\bold{4}$ H2O

Hence the equation is balanced.

Which statement explains the energy term in this reaction

lana66690 [7]

Answer:

Mass is lost due to the conversion of mass to energy

Explanation:

The question is not complete, the complete question is given as:

$^{235}_{72}U +^{1}_{0}n$ ⇒ $^{140}_{56}Ba+^{93}_{36}Kr+3^{1}_{0}n+energy$

total mass equals 236.053 u total mass equals 235.868 u

Which statement explains the energy term in this reaction? (1) Mass is gained due to the conversion of mass to energy. (2) Mass is gained due to the conversion of energy to mass. (3) Mass is lost due to the conversion of mass to energy. (4) Mass is lost due to the conversion of energy to mass.

Answer: From Einstein’s equation E = mc², when a radioisotope element undergoes fission or fusion in a nuclear reaction, it loses a tiny amount of mass.This mass lost is converted to energy.

The law of conservation of energy holds for this type of reaction (i.e the sum of mass and energy is remains the same in a nuclear reaction). Mass changes to energy, but the total amount of mass and energy combined remains the same before and after a nuclear reaction.

From the reaction above, the total decrease in mass = 236.053 - 235.868 = 0.185 u
