If an ice cube melts at 0ºC but water also freezes at 0ºC, what is the difference between melting and freezing in terms of…….

devlian [24]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

<em>8. When melting the energy of the ice cubes increases and when frezzing the energy of the water decreases.</em>

<em />

<em>9. When melting the otion of the particles speed up, when freezing the motion of the particles slow down.</em>

Explanation:

<em><u>8. The energy involved in the phase changes</u></em>

When an ice cube melts at 0ºC it must absorb or gain energy from the surroundings. This is an endothermic process, because the energy of the liquid water shall be higher than the energy of the starting ice cubes.

In conclusion, when melting the energy of the water increases.

On the other hand, when the liquid water freezes, also at 0ºC, the flow of heat energy is from the liquid water to the surroundings. This is an exothermic process because the water releases heat. At the end, the energy of the frozen water will be lower than the energy of the liquid water.

In conclusion, when freezing the enery of the water decreases.

<u><em>9. The motion of the particles of the substances during the phase changes</em></u>

<u><em /></u>

The particles of liquid substances are in constant motion, which is what allows them to flow. This is because the particles (molecules or atoms) are relatively distant from each other, with relatively low intermolecular forces.  Thus, they can slide on each other.

On the other hand, the solid substances have the particles in fixed position in structures called crystals. The particles vibrate but do not translation motion.

In conclusion, the difference is that the motion of the particles during melting increases and the motion of th particles during freezing decreases.

Is zinc a basic radical or acid radical?​
lukranit [14]

Answer:

depends on the element it's reacting with..

Explanation:

if the another element requires less energy to loose electron then zinc will become negatively charged and hence becomes acidic radical..

normally if it is reacting with element with valency 4 and Atomic number less than it(Ti,Si,C) then it will lose electron and gain positive sign and henve becomes basic radical..

Describe what occurs at mid-ocean ridges?
Tanya [424]
<span>A mid-ocean ridge is a mountain rage under the water. It is formed due to plate tectonics. The shifting of the plates lifts up the floor of the ocean. When convection currents happen they raise the mantle that is located beneath the oceans crust and it creates magma where the two tectonic plates meet.</span>

How many oxygen atoms are in 1.60 g of quartz? hints?
Naily [24]
Quartz has the formula SiO2
From the periodic table:
mass of oxygen = 16 grams
mass of silicon = 28.0855 grams
Mass of one mole of quarts = 28.0855 + 2(16) = 60.0855 grams

number of moles = mass / molar mass
number of moles = 1.6 / 60.0855 = 0.0266 moles

Each mole of quartz contains Avogadro's number of atoms.
Therefore:
number of atoms in 1.6 g = 1.6 x 6.02 x 10^23 = 1.603 x 10^22 atoms
