Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Good conductors are defined as the substance through which heat can effectively pass.

For example, copper, and iron are good conductors of heat and electricity.

Generally, metals are good conductors of heat as well as electricity.

On the other hand, bad conductors are the substances through which heat is unable to flow.

For example, glass, wood, foam etc are all bad conductors of heat as well as electricity.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options copper and iron are good conductors of heat.

Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Metals are the substances that have more number of electrons. Metals are good conductors of heat and electricity.

For example, iron, copper, zinc are all metals and good conductors of heat and electricity.

Whereas wood and foam are is a poor conductor of heat and electricity.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options copper and iron are good conductors of heat.

Which fatty acid salt is soluble in water solutions?

Oliga [24]

Answer is (A)
Pottasium and Sodium salts are soluble in water. When these soaps are added to hard water. Hard water contains calcium or magnesium ions and they form Magnesium or Calcuim salts. These salts of magnesium and calcium precipitates out and are insoluble in water. This precipitation is called as dirt (the exact word for dirt is not acceptable here). This process is considered as the disadvantage of soap as well as using hard water.

Why does increasing the temperature of a reaction cause the reaction rate to increase?

marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

The correct answer is "Increased energy enables more particles to collide."

Explanation:

The reaction rate is defined as the change in the concentration of one of the reagents or products, in a time interval in which the change takes place.

For a chemical reaction to take place, the molecules of the reagents must collide, and must also collide effectively. In other words, these shocks must be produced with sufficient energy so that they can break and form chemical bonds. In the crash there must be proper orientation.

When increasing the temperature, the molecules will possess greater kinetic energy, which is that energy related to the movement of the molecules. Consequently, these molecules will move faster.Thus, the possibility of colliding with another molecule increases significantly. In this way, the reaction rate increases.

So, <u><em>the correct answer is "Increased energy enables more particles to collide."</em></u>

A student investigated how much solid was dissolved in sea water.

SashulF [63]

Answer:

weighing balance/analytical balance

Graduated cylinder/buret

Explanation:

The mass of the evaporating basin could be measured using a weighing balance or an analytical balance. Both are classified as weighing scales but the analytical balance can measure the mass of objects up to 4 decimal places, thus, providing better accuracy in measurement than ordinary weighing balance that can only measure up to 2 decimal places.

In order to measure 50 cm3 of the sea water, a graduated cylinder or a buret can be used. Both equipment can measure up to the same decimal places and, thus, have virtually the same accuracy.

Calculate the wavelength of light emitted when each of the following transitions occur in the hydrogen atom. What type of electr

Alecsey [184]

Answer:

The wavelength of the emitted photon will be approximately 655 nm, which corresponds to the visible spectrum.

Explanation:

In order to answer this question, we need to recall Bohr's formula for the energy of each of the orbitals in the hydrogen atom:

$E_{n} = -\frac{m_{e}e^{4}}{2(4\pi\epsilon_{0})^2\hbar^{2}}\frac{1}{n^2} = E_{1}\frac{1}{n^{2}}$ , where:

[tex]m_{e}[tex] = electron mass

e = electron charge

[tex]\epsilon_{0}[tex] = vacuum permittivity

[tex]\hbar[tex] = Planck's constant over 2pi

n = quantum number

[tex]E_{1}[tex] = hydrogen's ground state = -13.6 eV

Therefore, the energy of the emitted photon is given by the difference of the energy in the 3d orbital minus the energy in the 2nd orbital:

[tex]E_{3} - E_{2} = -13.6 eV(\frac{1}{3^{2}} - \frac{1}{2^{2}})=1.89 eV[tex]

Now, knowing the energy of the photon, we can calculate its wavelength using the equation:

[tex]E = \frac{hc}{\lambda}[tex], where:

E = Photon's energy

h = Planck's constant

c = speed of light in vacuum

[tex]\lambda[tex] = wavelength

Solving for [tex]\lambda[tex] and substituting the required values:

[tex]\lambda = \frac{hc}{E} = \frac{1.239 eV\mu m}{1.89 eV}=0.655\mu m = 655 nm[tex], which correspond to the visible spectrum (The visible spectrum includes wavelengths between 400 nm and 750 nm).
