TLDR: The energy was being used simply to heat the substance up.
Whenever something melts, it performs what is called a "phase transition", where the state of matter moves from one thing to something else. You can see this in your iced drink at lunch; as the ice in the cup of liquid heats up, it reaches a point where it will eventually "change phase", or melt. The same can be achieved if you heat up that water enough, like if you're cooking; when you boil eggs, the water has so much thermal energy it can "change phase" and become a gas!
However, water doesn't randomly become a boiling gas, it has to heat up for a while before it reaches that temperature. For a real-life example, the next time you cook something, hold you hand above the water before it starts boiling. You'll see that that water has quite a high temperature despite not boiling.
There's a lot of more complex chemistry to describe this phenomena, such as the relationship between the temperature, pressure, and what is called the "vapor pressure" of a liquid when describing phase changes, but for now just focus on the heating effect. When ice melts, it doesn't seem like its heating up, but it is. The ice absorbs energy from its surroundings (the warmer water), thus heating up the ice and cooling down the water. Similarly, the bunsen burner serves to heat up things in the lab, so before the solid melts in this case it was simply heating up the solid to the point that it <u>could</u> melt.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
b. oxygen side being slightly negative and the hydrogen side being slightly positive.
Explanation:
The water molecule is a polar molecule, that is to say that its distribution of electronic density is different throughout the molecule.
In this way, in the water molecule there is a negative partial charge towards the oxygen atom and a positive partial charge towards the hydrogen atom.
This polar characteristic of the water molecule allows ions and other molecules to exhibit water solubility and is widely used in chemical reactions.
Answer:
<em>The pH of the solution is 7.8</em>
Explanation:
The concentration of the solution is 0.001M and the dye could be in its protonated and deprotonated forms. If the concentration of the protonated form [HA] is 0.0002 M the concentration of the deprotonated form will be the subtraction between the concentration of the bye and the concentration of the protonated form:
[A-] = 0.001M - 0.0002M = 0.0008M
Also, the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation is
![pH = pKa + Log \frac{[A^{-}]}{[HA]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=pH%20%3D%20pKa%20%2B%20Log%20%5Cfrac%7B%5BA%5E%7B-%7D%5D%7D%7B%5BHA%5D%7D)
this equation shows the dependency between the pH of the solution, the pKa and the concentration of the protonated and deprotonated forms. Thus, replacing in the equation
Answer:
3 half-lives
Explanation:
The half-life is the time that it takes to a radioactive element to decay to half of its initial amount.
Let's suppose we start with 64 g of the radioactive element.
- After 1 half-life, the mass of the element will be 32 g.
- After 2 half-lives, the mass of the element will be 16 g.
- After 3 half-lives, the mass of the element will be 8 g.
Answer:
True statment
2) Styrofoam would make a good calorimeter
3) Insulating material would make a good calorimeter
Explanation:
The calorimeter is one which is insulated that is which will not absorb or let the heat to escape from it. the calorimeter is used to measure the heat change during a process so if it will allow to exchange heat with surrounding it will deviate the readings or observence.
Copper is a good conductor of heat so we cannot use it make a calorimeter.
Hence
1) Copper would make a good calorimeter : False
2) Styrofoam would make a good calorimeter: True
Styrofoam is a bad conductor or insulator so it can be and it is used for calorimeter.
3) Insulating material would make a good calorimeter
: True
4) A good calorimeter should easily absorb heat : false
