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.

Ice floats on water. For most other substances, however, the solid sinks in the liquid. Classify each of these statements based

sattari [20]

Answer:

1.High pressure will cause the liquid to become solid :

Describe both water and other substances

2.High pressure will cause the solid to become liquid :

It describe none : neither water nor other substances 

This statement is :False for both water and other substances

3.The solid is more dense than the liquid :

It describe other substance

This statement is :False for water but true for other substances.

4. In a phase diagram, the solid-liquid coexistence line has a negative slope.

It describes water:

This statement is :True for water because solid ice is less dense than liquid water.

False for other substance, they have positive slope

5.The molecules are closest in the liquid phase.

This statement is :False for water and other substances

6.The solid is less dense than the liquid:

It Describes water because ice is less dense than liquid water

7. In a phase diagram, the solid-liquid coexistence line has a positive slope.

It describe other substances

This statement is :True for other substances but false for water

8. The molecules are closest in the solid phase :

Describes both water and other substances

Explanation:

Answers to statement 1 , 2,5 and 8

Answers to statement 1 , 2

On increasing pressure and decreasing temperature , There occur Phase transition always for every substance :

From liquid to solid and gas to liquid

Hence,

In Both for water and other substance

High pressure will cause the liquid to become solid.

Answers to statement 5,8 :

2.The Particles of solid are closely packed hence there is maximum force of attraction between the particle of solid as compared to liquid and gases .

Hence , The molecules of both water and other substances are closest in the solid phase

This also means that in liquid molecules are far apart .

Rest statement : 3, 4 ,6 ,7 are explained below(see attached image)

The molecules are closest in the liquid phase is false statement and does not describe both water and other substance

Ice floats on water. For most other substances, however, the solid sinks in the liquid.

This can be explained using the phase diagram of water :

The line DB is = the solid-liquid coexistence line

It has negative slope because , solid ice is less dense than liquid water . That is why ice floats on water because its density is less than water

Hence Water is described truly by statement 4,6, which are :

4. the solid-liquid coexistence line has a negative slope.

6.The solid is less dense than the liquid.

Rest 3,7 = describe by other substance

other substance : Solid is more dense than the liquid ,the solid-liquid coexistence line has a positive slope

Tempature increases as altitude increses because you're moving closer to the sun is it true

Alex777 [14]

Nope. It is false. Temperature decreases as altitude increases.

How many grams of NH3 can be dissolved in 50 grams of water at 50oC?

weqwewe [10]

15 grams of NH3 can be dissolved

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

50 grams of water at 50°C

Required

mass of NH3

Solution

Solubility is the maximum amount of a substance that can dissolve in some solvents. Factors that affect solubility

1. Temperature:
2. Surface area:
3. Solvent type:
4. Stirring process:

We can use solubility chart (attached) to determine the solubility of NH3 at 50°C

From the graph, we can see that the solubility of NH3 in 100 g of water at 50 C is 30 g

So that the solubility in 50 grams of water is:

= 50/100 x 30

= 15 grams
