Answer: The correct answer is "greater thermal conductivity".

Explanation:

Thermal conductivity: It is a ability to conduct heat. Heat transfers occur at a lower rate to material at higher thermal conductivity.

It is defined as the rate at which the heat is transferred through a unit thickness of the substance per area per change in the temperature.

In the given problem, A piece of wood and a piece of steel are at the same temperature. However, the steel feels hotter. The thermal conductivity of the steel is more than the thermal conductivity of the wood.

Therefore,  the correct option is "greater thermal conductivity".

A container of oxygen with a fixed volume has a pressure of 13.0 atm at a temperature of 20 °C. What will the pressure of the ox
Norma-Jean [14]

Given:

P1 = 13.0 atm

T1 = 20 °C

T2 = 102 °C

Required:

P2 of oxygen

Solution:

At constant volume, we can apply Gay-Lussac’s law of pressure and temperature relationship

P1/T1=P2/T2

(13.0 atm) / (20 °C) = P2 / (102 °C)

P2 = 66.3 atm

The answer is not in the choices given.

ozzi

Explanation:

A neutralization is a type of double replacement reaction. a salt is the product of an acid-base reaction and is a much broader term then common table salt.

Example:-

(i) HCl + NaOH ---> NaCl + HOH

(ii) H2SO4 + 2NH4OH ---> (NH4)2SO4 + 2HOH.
