Answer: -

The temperature change for water in the 4-liter container will be

a.half that of the 2-liter container.

Explanation: -

The increase in temperature of a substance when heat is given to it is given by the formula

Q = m x c x ΔT

Where Q is the heat supplied, m is the mass of water, c is the specific heat of water and ΔT is the change in the temperature of water.

Or ΔT = \frac{Q}{m x c}

From the formula we see that for the same amount of heat, increase is temperature is more for less amount of mass.

We know that more the volume of water, more the amount of water present and consequently more the mass of water.

Thus for the same amount of heat supplied, the temperature increases more for a lesser volume of water.

Let density of water be d.

Mass of 4 L= volume x density = 4 L x d

T 1 = ΔT for 4 L = \frac{Q}{m x c}

                  = \frac{Q}{4 L x d x c}  

Mass of 2 L= volume x density = 2 L x d

T2 = ΔT for 2 L = \frac{Q}{m x c}

                  = \frac{Q}{2 L x d x c}  

On taking ratio

\frac{T 2}{T 1} = 2

Thus the temperature change for water in the 4-liter container will be

a.half that of the 2-liter container.

What does the nucleus of an atom do to its own electrons? To the electrons of a nearby atom?
Margaret [11]
An atom is the smallest particle of an element that can take part in a chemical reaction.

An atom is made up of energy levels that contain electrons which are negatively charged and the nucleus which contains neutrons and protons that are negatively charge .

Due the positive charge of the nucleus of an atom, an atom always want to attract its electrons and keep them near it however it weakly attracts the other electrons of a nearby atom.

What is the voltage of a galvanic cell made with zinc (zn) and aluminum (al)?
bonufazy [111]
From the reduction standard potentials;
The emf of Zinc = -0.76 V
and the emf of Aluminium = -1.66 V
In a galvanic cell the component with lower standard reduction potential gets oxidized and that it is added to the anode compartment. 
Therefore. the voltage of a galvanic cell made with zinc and aluminium will be;
Voltage =Ered- Eoxd
             = -0.76 - (-1.66)
             = 0.9 V

If some red cabbage indicator is added to a solution with an unknown ph and the color of the indicator turn to blue what can be
atroni [7]

Answer:

Neutral solution, pH of 7.

Explanation:

Red cabbage is a natural indicator which gives red color when an acid is added, green color when a base is added and <u>it gives blue color when a neutral solution is added. </u>

<u>Given that when some red cabbage indicator is added to a solution , it turns blue which means that the solution is a neutral solution. Neutral solution have a pH of 7.</u>
