warm water evaporates rapidly and since this is an endothermic process, it cools the water making it freeze more quickly.

<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>Temperature dependency is responsible for the process that hot water freeze faster than cold water.</u>

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The effect given above is called Mpemba Effect. According to this idea hot water freezes more quickly as compared to cold water. But until now there is no convincing explanation for this strange phenomenon.  One idea is that hot containers make better thermal contact with a refrigerator and so conduct heat more efficiently because a good conductor is good fro the transfer of heat. Another idea about this effect is that warm water evaporates more quickly and since this is an endothermic process, it cools the water making it freeze more quickly.

What hydrogen atom transition has the most energy photon.
Scrat [10]

Answer:

The transition with the greatest distance is 5p → 1s, which is n = 5 going to n = 1. This means this transition also has the largest energy and frequency. Therefore, the electron transition that produces light of the highest frequency in the hydrogen atom is a. 5p → 1s.

Explanation:

The energy requirement order for excitation for different transitions is as follows. n→∏* transition requires lowest energy while σ→σ* requires highest amount of energy

Salsk061 [2.6K]

Yes. Percent yield shows how efficient one's method is. If his isolated caffeine proved to be at only 1.5%, compared to least 50% as in many of the previous experiments, the student should be very concerned as it shows that something caused the yield to sharply drop.

How is separating a compound more complicate that separating parts of a mixture
sineoko [7]
You can use physical methods to separate a mixture and also some chemical methods too.
Mixture is just a physical combine.
However a compound is a chemical combine so you must use special methods to separate it

Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

Sodium is a silvery-white metal that reacts with chlorine gas, which is a yellow-greenish gas that is toxic. The  reaction gives off a lot of heat. After the reaction, which statement is true about the chemical properties of the product, sodium chloride?

Pure sodium reacts violently and sometimes explosively with water producing sodium hydroxide, hydrogen gas and heat

2Na(s) + 2H2O(l) → 2NaOH(aq) + H2(g)

Chlorine is a very poisonous yellow green gas with a sharp odour that was used in gas warfare during WW1

Sodium and chlorine reacts with each other, however, to produce one of the most familiar substance used in cooking and preservation industry today Sodium Chloride or Common salt or table salt in the irreversible equation;

2Na(s) + Cl2(g) → 2NaCl(s)

Explanation:

It is easy to see why this reaction takes place so readily sodium has one electron in its outermost valence shell while chlorine has seven electrons in its valence shell. when sodium atom transfers one electron to chlorine atom forming a sodium cation (Na+) and a chloride anion (Cl-) both ions have complete valence shells and are energetically more stable. the reaction is extremely exothermic, producing a bright yellow light and a great deal of heat and fumes of sodium chloride.

In a reaction observation of the reaction process you will see sodium flares up almost immediately upon reaction with water.
