What is the difference between thermal energy, temperature, and heat

Chemistry
1 answer:
Rainbow [258]3 years ago
5 0

<span>Thermal energy is the energy that comes from heat. This heat is generated by the movement of tiny particles within an object. The faster these particles move, the more heat is generated.</span>

<span>Heat energy is the result of the movement of tiny particles called atoms, molecules or ions in solids, liquids and gases. Heat energy can be transferred from one object to another, and the transfer or flow due to the difference in temperature between the two objects is called heat.</span>

<span>The kinetic temperature is the variable needed for subjects like heat transfer, because it is the translational kinetic energy which leads to energy transfer from a hot area (larger kinetic temperature, higher molecular speeds) to a cold area (lower molecular speeds) in direct collisional transfer.</span>

Uranium-238 decays to Lead-206. Both Rock X and Rock Y initially had a ratio of 100%. Uranium-238 to 0% Lead-206. Today, Rock X
kati45 [8]

Answer:

Rock Y

Explanation:

The rock that is older shall be determined based on the number of half lives it has witnessed. A half life is simply the amount of time required for a sample to decay to half of its original mass.

Rock X

From 100% uranium, it decays to 50% uranium.  This means it went through just one half life.

Rock Y

From 100% uranium to 25% uranium

100 --> 50 (first half life)

50 --> 25 (second half life)

This means it wen through 2 half lives.

Rock Y is older than Rock X

The fundamental force underlying all chemical reactions is
arsen [322]

Answer:

Electromagnetic Force

Explanation:

Every aspect of chemical reaction is the output of electromagnetic force though the forces can take on many forms because of the quantum wave nature of particles.

The electromagnetic force has the ability to attract opposite charges such as protons and electrons and it repels same charges such as electrons and protons.

This force is an important force in the chemical reaction as it it is responsible for bonding between atoms. Though other forces are unique in their own way but they don't affect chemical reaction. Force of gravity is not strong enough to affect chemical reactions; when nuclear forces are involved in a reaction, such reaction is a nuclear reactor; not chemical reaction.

One of the roles of the electromagnetic force in chemical reaction is that it holds the electrons that are in the outer orbit around the nucleus; this, in the long run creates bonds with other chemical elements to create a visible matter.

Identify the statement that correctly describes light and how it travels? (2 points)
schepotkina [342]

Light does not travel at a constant speed in a vacuum, compared to in air, because the light is being absorbed by atoms and molecules in the air. But light does travel at a constant speed in a vacuum.
So I agree with A
All that talk about moving forward is irrelevant (I think)

A gaseous mixture composed of 20% CH4, 30% C2H4, 35% C2H2, and 15% C2H20. What is the average molecular weight of the mixture? a
Semenov [28]

<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option d.

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Mass percentage of CH_4 = 20 %

So, mole fraction of CH_4 = 0.2

Mass percentage of C_2H_4 = 30 %

So, mole fraction of C_2H_4 = 0.3

Mass percentage of C_2H_2 = 35 %

So, mole fraction of C_2H_2 = 0.35

Mass percentage of C_2H_2O = 15 %

So, mole fraction of C_2H_2O = 0.15

We know that:

Molar mass of CH_4 = 16 g/mol

Molar mass of C_2H_4 = 28 g/mol

Molar mass of C_2H_2 = 26 g/mol

Molar mass of C_2H_2O = 48 g/mol

To calculate the average molecular mass of the mixture, we use the equation:

\text{Average molecular weight of mixture}=\frac{_{i=1}^n\sum{\chi_im_i}}{n_i}

where,

\chi_i = mole fractions of i-th species

m_i = molar masses of i-th species

n_i = number of observations

Putting values in above equation:

\text{Average molecular weight}=\frac{(\chi_{CH_4}\times M_{CH_4})+(\chi_{C_2H_4}\times M_{C_2H_4})+(\chi_{C_2H_2}\times M_{C_2H_2})+(\chi_{C_2H_2O}\times M_{C_2H_2O})}{4}

\text{Average molecular weight of mixture}=\frac{(0.20\times 16)+(0.30\times 28)+(0.35\times 26)+(0.15\times 42)}{4}\\\\\text{Average molecular weight of mixture}=6.75

Hence, the correct answer is Option d.

4. Find the pH at each of the following points in the titration of 25 mL of 0.3 M HF with 0.3 M NaOH. The Ka value is 6.6x10-4 a
yawa3891 [41]

Explanation:

Since HF is a weak acid, the use of an ICE table is required to find the pH. The question gives us the concentration of the HF.

HF+H2O⇌H3O++F−HF+H2O⇌H3O++F−

Initial0.3 M-0 M0 MChange- X-+ X+XEquilibrium0.3 - X-X MX M

Writing the information from the ICE Table in Equation form yields

6.6×10−4=x20.3−x6.6×10−4=x20.3−x

Manipulating the equation to get everything on one side yields

0=x2+6.6×10−4x−1.98×10−40=x2+6.6×10−4x−1.98×10−4

Now this information is plugged into the quadratic formula to give

x=−6.6×10−4±(6.6×10−4)2−4(1)(−1.98×10−4)−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−√2x=−6.6×10−4±(6.6×10−4)2−4(1)(−1.98×10−4)2

The quadratic formula yields that x=0.013745 and x=-0.014405

However we can rule out x=-0.014405 because there cannot be negative concentrations. Therefore to get the pH we plug the concentration of H3O+ into the equation pH=-log(0.013745) and get pH=1.86
