Your feet get hot walking across a beach. which type of heat transfer is occurring from the sand to your feet?

1 answer:

5 0

The heat transfer just occurred is mainly conduction.

Conduction happens when two objects are in contact with each other. In the hotter object, the molecules and/or free electrons have a higher kinetic energy, thus they'll travel and collide into other molecules, resulting in spreading the energy to the other object.

The heat transfer happens until thermal equilibrium, where both objects have the same temperature and their molecules have the same kinetic energy rate.

In addition, radiation is also happening since everything that has a higher temperature than the environment is a net emitter. They release electromagnetic waves that turn out to be radiation. These occur even without the presence of air.

Which of the following reactions is the least energetic? Question 18 options: ATP + H2O → ADP + Pi ATP + H2O → AMP + PPi AMP + H

Mama L [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is AMP+H2O→ Adenosine + pi

Explanation:

The above reaction is least energetic because there is no phosphoanhydride bond present with adenosine mono phosphate.Phospho anhydride bond is an energy rich bond.

As a result hydrolysis of AMP generates very little amount of energy in comparison to the hydrolysis of ATP and ADP.

Which argument best explains the charge of an atomic nucleus?

xeze [42]

The answer is "<span>An atomic nucleus is positively charged because it is composed of protons". An atomic nucleus actually contains nucleons which are made up of both protons and neutrons. Since neutrons are neutral or have no charge, the charge of an atomic nucleus mainly relies on the positive charge of the protons.</span>

When 45 g of an alloy, at 25oC, are dropped into 100.0 g of water, the alloy absorbs 956 J of heat. If the final temperature of

taurus [48]

Answer:

The answer to the question is

The specific heat capacity of the alloy = 1.77 J/(g·°C)

Explanation:

To solve this, we list out the given variables thus

Mass of alloy = 45 g

Initial temperature of the alloy = 25 °C

Final temperature of the alloy = 37 °C

Heat absorbed by the alloy = 956 J

Thus we have

ΔH = m·c·(T₂ - T₁) where ΔH = heat absorbed by the alloy = 956 J, c = specific heat capacity of the alloy and T₁ = Initial temperature of the alloy = 25 °C , T₂ = Final temperature of the alloy = 37 °C and m = mass of the alloy = 45 g

∴ 956 J = 45 × C × (37 - 25) = 540 g·°C×c or

c = 956 J/(540 g·°C) = 1.77 J/(g·°C)

The specific heat capacity of the alloy is 1.77 J/(g·°C)

The equilibrium constant Kc for the reaction PCl3(g) + Cl2(g) ⇌ PCl5(g) is 49 at 230°C. If 0.70 mol of PCl3 is added to 0.70 mol

Ymorist [56]

Answer : The correct option is, (B) 0.11 M

Solution :

First we have to calculate the concentration $PCl_3$ and $Cl_2$ .

$\text{Concentration of }PCl_3=\frac{\text{Moles of }PCl_3}{\text{Volume of solution}}$

$\text{Concentration of }PCl_3=\frac{0.70moles}{1.0L}=0.70M$

$\text{Concentration of }Cl_2=\frac{\text{Moles of }Cl_2}{\text{Volume of solution}}$

$\text{Concentration of }Cl_2=\frac{0.70moles}{1.0L}=0.70M$

The given equilibrium reaction is,

$PCl_3(g)+Cl_2(g)\rightleftharpoons PCl_5(g)$

Initially 0.70 0.70 0

At equilibrium (0.70-x) (0.70-x) x

The expression of $K_c$ will be,

$K_c=\frac{[PCl_5]}{[PCl_3][Cl_2]}$

$K_c=\frac{(x)}{(0.70-x)\times (0.70-x)}$

Now put all the given values in the above expression, we get:

$49=\frac{(x)}{(0.70-x)\times (0.70-x)}$

By solving the term x, we get

$x=0.59\text{ and }0.83$

From the values of 'x' we conclude that, x = 0.83 can not more than initial concentration. So, the value of 'x' which is equal to 0.83 is not consider.

Thus, the concentration of $PCl_3$ at equilibrium = (0.70-x) = (0.70-0.59) = 0.11 M

The concentration of $Cl_2$ at equilibrium = (0.70-x) = (0.70-0.59) = 0.11 M

The concentration of $PCl_5$ at equilibrium = x = 0.59 M

Therefore, the concentration of $PCl_3$ at equilibrium is 0.11 M
