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".

Answer:

1 and 2 - Physical change

3, 4, 5 and 6 - Chemical Change

Explanation:

A physical change is the conversion of one form into another. Like water is in natural state is liquid but at applying negative temperature like in a freezer, it will convert into ice which is just another form of water. At high temperature, water will convert into vapors and form steam. In all three states, water is just water in a different form. That's what a physical change is. It is a reversible process.

A chemical change is the conversion of one molecule into another form which cannot be reversed. Like burning of coal. You won't get coal after you have burnt it.

In the same experiment, there have been many physical and chemical changes.

1. Evaporation of Ethanol is a physical change as external heat is applied which separates ethanol from water in form of vapors.

2. Condensation of Ethanol is also a physical change where vapors of ethanol are being converted into liquid form.

3. Formation of carbon deposit inside the flask: This is a chemical change. As the experiment contained glucose, upon higher temperatures, glucose loses water molecules and forms carbon. Now, since we cannot convert carbon back to glucose in a simple step, therefore, it is a chemical change which cannot be reversed.

4. Formation of Carbon dioxide gas from Glucose: This is a chemical change. Carbon dioxide cannot be fixed into glucose without the help of a plant or certain chemical methods therefore it is a chemical change and cannot be reversed by normal means.

5. Burning of natural gas: It is a chemical process. Natural gas contains methane as the primary source of burning. It reacts with oxygen present in air and forms carbon dioxide and water and releases heat which is used to elevate the temperature of ethanol-water mixture to obtain purified ethanol.

6. Formation of ethanol from glucose by yeast:  It is also a chemical process, biochemical to be specific. Under the absence of air (Fermentation), yeast converts glucose to ethanol which is a chemical process because glucose has been used up and is not glucose anymore. It has been converted to ethanol.

Which of the following isotopes would most likely be unstable and therefore radioactive?
svlad2 [7]

Answer: Mercury-194 is an unstable isotope and hence is radioactive.

Explanation: Mercury-194 is an isotope of mercury, having formula _{80}^{194}\textrm{Hg}

Number of protons in this isotope = 80

Number of neutrons in this isotope = 114

This isotope is radioactive in nature and under decay process by Electron Capture.

Electron capture reactions are the reactions in which a proton in a nucleus absorbs an electron and convert it into neutron. The resulting nucleus will have a decreased atomic number and same atomic mass.

Reaction for electron capture of mercury-194 follows:

_{80}^{194}\textrm{Hg}+_{-1}^0\textrm{e}\rightarrow _{79}^{194}\textrm{Au}

A chemist reacted 17.25 grams of sodium metal with an excess amount of chlorine gas. The chemical reaction that occurred is show
Afina-wow [57]

<u>Answer:</u> The actual yield of the product is 38.57 g

<u>Explanation:</u>

The number of moles is defined as the ratio of the mass of a substance to its molar mass. The equation used is:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}} ......(1)

We are given:

Given mass of Na = 17.25 g

Molar mass of Na = 23 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Moles of Na}=\frac{17.25g}{23g/mol}=0.75mol

For the given chemical reaction:

2Na+Cl_2\rightarrow 2NaCl

By stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of Na produces 2 moles of NaCl

So, 0.75 moles of Na will produce = \frac{2}{2}\times 0.75=0.75mol of NaCl

We know, molar mass of NaCl = 58.44 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Mass of NaCl}=(0.75mol\times 58.44g/mol)=43.83g

The percent yield of a reaction is calculated by using an equation:

\% \text{yield}=\frac{\text{Actual value}}{\text{Theoretical value}}\times 100 ......(1)

Given values:

Percent yield of the product = 88 %

Theoretical value of the product = 43.83 g

Plugging values in equation 1:

88\% =\frac{\text{Actual yield}}{43.83g}\times 100\\\\\text{Actual yield}=\frac{88\times 43.83}{100}=38.57g

Hence, the actual yield of the product is 38.57 g
