Explain what happens to the heat that is being added to a substance when the substance is changing phase.

1 answer:

4 0

<span>When a substance changes from one state, or phase, of matter to another we say that it has undergone a change of state, or we say that it has undergone a change of phase. For example, ice melts and becomes water; water evaporates and becomes water vapor.These changes of phase always occur with a change of heat. Heat, which is energy, either comes into the material during a change of phase or heat comes out of the material during this change. However, although the heat content of the material changes, the temperature does not.</span>

What would be the bond order for He 2 2- molecule

LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

In He2 molecule,

Atomic orbitals available for making Molecular Orbitals are 1s from each Helium. And total number of electrons available are 4.

Molecular Orbitals thus formed are:€1s2€*1s2

It means 2 electrons are in bonding molecular orbitals and 2 are in antibonding molecular orbitals .

Bond Order =Electrons in bonding molecular orbitals - electrons in antibonding molecular orbitals /2

Bond Order =Nb-Na/2

Bond Order =2-2/2=0

Since the bond order is zero so that He2 molecule does not exist.

AUG, the codon that codes for the amino acid methionine is also called a ____ codon (answer choices 1.start 2.Stop 3.Go 4.beginn

Katarina [22]

<h2>Answer: START (2)</h2>

Explanation:

AUG is a <u>START</u> codon. (2)

A start codon is the first codon translated by a ribosome. It usually produces an amino acid that initiates the producyion of a polypeptide chain.

What does the space-filling model of a water molecule tell you about the relative size of the atoms?

faltersainse [42]

Space -filling models are also known as Calotte models. These are 3 dimensional models that depict the spatial relationships between atoms.
The space-filling model of water molecule shows the 3 D structure of the water molecule. This model CLEARLY REVEALS THE OXYGEN ATOM WHICH IS LOCATED CENTRALLY WITH TWO HYDROGEN ATOMS IN THE ADJACENT SIDES. THE MODEL ALSO SUGGESTS HOW THE WATER MOLECULES ATTRACT EACH OTHER.

A calorimeter measures the Choose... involved in reactions or other processes by measuring the Choose... of the materials Choose

yuradex [85]

Answer:

heat; temperature; surrounding; insulated.

Explanation:

A calorimeter can be defined as a scientific instrument (device) that is designed and developed for measurement of the heat involved in chemical reactions or other processes, especially by taking the measurement of the temperature of the materials surrounding the process.

Basically, a calorimeter is insulated using materials with a very high level of resistivity, so as to prevent heat transfer to the outside of the device (calorimeter).

Some of the components that make up a simple calorimeter are; thermometer, an interior styrofoam cup, an exterior styrofoam cup, cover, etc.

Additionally, a calorie refers to the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a gram of water by one degree Celsius (°C)

what is the maximum amount of moles of P2O5 that can theoretically be made from 136 g of P4 and excess oxygen

zhuklara [117]

We are given with
136 g P4
excess oxygen

The complete combustion reaction is
P4 + 5O2 => 2P2O5
Converting the amount of P4 to moles
136/123.9 = 1.098 moles

Using stoichiometry
moles P2O5 = 1.098 x 2 = 2.195 moles P2O5
