<span>Higher temperatures, tend to work better at cleaning because many chemical reactions take place faster.
For example is it easier to use hot water and "melt" off all that grease and butter when washing dishes or cold? 
the same goes for washing clothes some dirty substance that stained your shirt a few weeks ago will be easily washed off as it "melts off" because of its melting point in the hot water. </span>

Answer:

Particle theory of matter states that particles at higher temperatures move faster that those at lower temperatures. Then laundry detergents particles move faster in hot water than in cold water, and therefore, they are more efficient and work better.

A different atom of iodine has a mass number of 128. What is this atoms relationship to the atom with a mass of 126
Mkey [24]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

They are isotopes. Isotopes are molecules that have the same atomic number but have different atomic mass because the number of neutrons is different.

Iodine has an atomic mass of 126 g and its atomic number is 53.

# of neutrons = 126 - 53 = 73

Its isotope has an atomic mass of 128 g its atomic number is also 53, but the number of neutrons is different.

# neutrons = 128 -53 = 75

A lead–tin alloy of composition 30 wt% Sn–70 wt% Pb is slowly heated from a temperature of 150°C (300°F).(a) At what temperature
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

a) 231.9 °C

b) 100% Sn

c) 327.5 °C

d) 100% Pb

Explanation:

This is a mixture of two solids with different fusion point:

Tf_{Pb}=327.5 C

Tf_{Sn}=231.9 C

<u>Given that Sn has a lower fusion temperature it will start to melt first at that temperature. </u>

So the first liquid phase forms at 231.9 °C and because Pb starts melting at a higher temperature, that phase's composition will be 100% Sn.

The mixture will be completely melted when you are a the higher melting temperature of all components (in this case Pb), so it will all in liquid phase at 327.5 °C.

At that temperature all Sn was already in liquid state and, therefore, the last solid's composition will be 100% Pb.

If 1.2 moles of ideal gas occupy a volume of 18.2 L at a pressure of 1.8 ATM what is the temperature of gas in degrees Celsius.
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer: A 59.5 degree celcius

The equation that we will use to solve this problem is :

PV = nRT where:

P is the pressure of gas = 1.8 atm

V is the volume of gas = 18.2 liters

n is the number of moles of gas = 1.2 moles

R is the gas constant =  0.0821

T is the temperature required (calculated in kelvin)

Using these values to substitute in the equation, we find that:

(1.8)(18.2) = (1.2)(0.0821)(T)

T = 332.5 degree kelvin

The last step is to convert the degree kelvin into degree celcius:

T = 332.5 - 273 = 59.5 degree celcius
