A blacksmith melts and shapes a block of iron into a blade. She then sets the blade, whose edges are molten, outside, where it i

s raining slightly. The blade's outer edges both solidify and then rust. Which of the following has happened to the iron throughout the day? a. The iron has undergone a physical change only. b. The iron has undergone a chemical change only. c. The iron has undergone both a physical and chemical change. d. The iron has not undergone any changes.

The answer is C due to the rain making contact with the iron it creates moisture which cause the iron to begin oxidizing which causes the iron to rust which is a chemical reaction then the blade which was once malleable because it was heat becomes harden and rust is created as I said before the physical aspect of the iron chances due to rust developing on it it's no longer has the luster it once had

Answer:

The correct answer is option c.

Explanation:

A physical change is defined as  a change in shape, size takes place. No new substance gets formed in these reactions.

Solid iron block → liquid iron

Liquid iron → solid blade shaped iron

Here, iron in first melted and then set into a shape of blade. Hence, physical change.

A chemical change is defined as a change in chemical composition takes place. A new substance is formed in these reactions.

Here, rusting of iron is chemical change:

Fe(s)+O_2(g)\righarrow Fe_2O_3(s)

Throughout the entire process blacksmith has changed the iron block physically by changing its size and shape. And due to action of raining in the edges of the blade rusting of an iron also took place which was a chemical change.

The gram molecular mass of co2 is the same as the gram molecular mass of ?
kari74 [83]
The answer is 1. CO. A gram-molecular mass is defined as mass in grams numerically equal to the molecular weight of a substance or the sum of all the atomic masses in its molecular formula. Since CO2 and CO has both carbon and oxygen, the gram-molecular mass does not change. For a compound with carbon and oxygen, the molecular mass comes respectively from 12 (atomic mass of carbon) + (2 × 16) (atomic mass of oxygen), which is 44 g.

If an atom has an atomic number of 6 and and abdomens mass of 12 how many electrons does it have
Basile [38]
Atomic number refers to the proton number of the atom itself. Number of electrons in an atom (an atom that is not reacted with any other molecules / Just the atom alone), is the same as the number of protons, because each electron has 1 negative charge, and each proton 1 positive charge, where they cancel out on each other to become a neutral charge.

So, when atomic number is 6, proton number is also 6, and number of electrons will also be 6 in that atom.

Hope this helps! :)

What makes atoms different than<br> ions?
DENIUS [597]

Answer:the term 'atom' in chemistry represents the basic unit of matter that normally exists in a free state and contains all chemical properties. It is an infinite particle that clearly identifies a chemical element. It consists of a positively charged nucleus and is surrounded by negatively charged electrons.

An ion or charge is an atom or group of atoms that has lost or gained one or more electrons. An ion that has a negative charge, when it gains one or more electrons, is called an anion or negative charge, and an ion that has a positive charge when it loses one or more electrons, is called a cation or positive charge.

How is it possible for there to be more than one kind of atom of the same element?
tiny-mole [99]

They are called isotopes.

Isotopes have the same number of electrons and protons in their unionized state. They differ in the number of neutrons. The first and simplest example is hydrogen.


The most common hydrogen has

1 proton

1 electron and

0 neutrons


It has 2 cousins

1 proton

1 electron

1 neutron

And

1 proton

1 electron

2 neutrons.


Most elements have some differences in the number of neutrons present in their nuclei. Cesium and Xenon have the most number of isotopes. Each has 36. You wonder how the atoms are held together.
