Answer: chemical change because the atoms in wood and oxygen are rearranged.

Explanation: The chemical composition of wood varies from species to species, but is approximately 50% carbon, 42% oxygen, 6% hydrogen, 1% nitrogen, and 1% other elements.

When wood is being combusted in air(oxygen being the gas that rekindles the glowing splint), the chemicals are rearranged. Since about 50% of wood is carbon, C, the main chemical reaction going on here is C + O2 --> CO2. Of course, there are other chemical reactions too. But the formation of CO2 is the most common.

Explain the difference between a base unit and a derived unit
Scrat [10]
<span>A SI base unit is the single and direct measurement unit for a physical entity. E.g. For mass it is kg, for time it is sec, A derived unit is determined by a physical equation with the base units, like for velocity equals distance divided by time, in SI units: unit of v (velocity)= m (meter) divided by sec (seconds).

A gas occupies a volume of 1.00 L at 25.0°C. What volume will the gas occupy at 1.00 x10^2 °C?
Leno4ka [110]

Answer : The volume of gas occupy at 1.00\times 10^2^oC is, 1.25 L

Explanation :

Charles' Law : It states that volume of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas at constant pressure and number of moles.

Mathematically,

\frac{V_1}{T_1}=\frac{V_2}{T_2}

where,

V_1\text{ and }T_1 are the initial volume and temperature of the gas.

V_2\text{ and }T_2 are the final volume and temperature of the gas.

We are given:

V_1=1.00L\\T_1=25.0^oC=(25.0+273)K=298K\\V_2=?\\T_2=1.00\times 10^2^oC=((1.00\times 10^2)+273)K=373K

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\frac{1.00L}{298K}=\frac{V_2}{373K}\\\\V_2=1.25L

Therefore, the volume of gas occupy at 1.00\times 10^2^oC is, 1.25 L

A sample of salt (sodium chloride) is placed on the tip of a platinum wire. When the sample is heated on blue flame the flame tu
gulaghasi [49]
So platinum is a transition metal. In general transition metals are reducers, which means they can give the electrons they have, to the sodium atoms. Also in chemistry we look at sub orbitals rather that shells(2,8,8). So due to the energy from heat, the d orbital split as electrons move to a higher energy level. Some of the electrons are given to the sodium ions and therefore the flame changes colour to yellow. 
The excitation of the electrons is caused by them getting energy and so moving up an energy level. This energy is released and the electron returns to it's original state. The energy released, however, does not release in the same direction, but in different/various directions. Therefore the colour of the light changes as some energy is released in the surrounding.
