Why can sand stop fire?

Chemistry

It will cover up all oxygen from the fire. And sand has no natural flammability because it is simply a crushed up mineral, so it can not make the fire any bigger.

Because the fire has no oxygen to expand. it's really suffocating it.

3. What do you call the total path covered by the moving body? *
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

Distance: - The distance travelled by a body is the actual length of the path covered by a moving body irrespective of the direction in which the body travels. For example- if a man walks 4 km in east and 3km in north then actual length covered by the man is 4+ 3= 7 km.

With all his gear, Neil Armstrong weighed 360 pounds on Earth. When he landed on the Moon, he weighed 60 pounds. Why?
lyudmila [28]

C. The gravity on the Moon is less than the gravity on Earth.

Explanation:

The weight of Neil Armstrong changed because the gravity on the Moon is less than the gravity on earth. We can infer that the gravity on moon is one-sixth the gravity earth.

  • Mass of Armstrong on earth and moon is the same. Mass is the quantity of matter contained in a substance. Since he has the same quantity of matter on earth and moon, his mass will be the same.

Weight is a function of mass and gravity on a body.

Since his weight reduced, we can infer that the gravity on the moon is lesser:

        Weight = mass x gravity.

Which ionic compound would you expect to have the highest melting point? a. Al-N b. Fe-O C. W-C
Elza [17]

Answer:

b. Fe-O

Explanation:

A way to predict melting points for ionic compounds is with electronegativity.

Electronegativity is a chemical property that describes the tendency of an atom to attract a shared pair of electrons towards itself.

The most electronegativity difference (E.D.), the highest melting point, thus:

E.D. Al-N = 3,0 - 1,6 = <em>1,4</em>

E.D. Fe-O = 3,5 - 1,8 = <em>1,7</em>

E.D. W-C = 2,5 - 1,7 = <em>0,8</em>

The most electronegativity difference is from Fe-O, thus, this ionic compound will have the highest melting point.

I hope it helps!

For a given sample of ch3oh, the enthalpy change during the reaction is 82.3 kj . how many grams of methane gas are produced?
Leno4ka [110]
The equation is as follows;
 2CH3OH(g) = 2CH4(g) + O2(g), ΔH= +252.8 kJ
From the equation; for the reaction to produce 2 moles of methane (32g) an energy of 252.8 kJ is released.
Therefore; for an energy of 82.3 kJ the number of moles that will be produced will be;    =  (2×82.3)/252.3
                               = 0.6524 moles
                  which is equivalent to 0.6524 × 16 = 10.438 g
There, the mass of CH4 produced will be 10.438 g
