The correct answer to the question is C).Dry ice changes to carbon dioxide when kept in an open container.

EXPLANATION:

Before answering this question, first we have to understand sublimation.

Sublimation is a thermal process of state or phase change in which solid substance is directly converted into gas without melting i.e the substance won't undergo liquid state.

In the given question, dry ice is given. Dry ice is the solid state of carbon dioxide. When the dry ice changes to carbon dioxide, directly solid carbon dioxide is converted into gaseous carbon dioxide. No liquid carbon dioxide is formed . So, the phase change is from solid to gas.

Hence, the conversion of dry ice into carbon dioxide is an example of sublimation.

Hello!

Sublimation is when a solid turns right to a gas without any liquid phase. While $CO_{2}$ does have a liquid phase, dry ice does not go through it; it goes right from a solid to a gas, so it's going to be C.

What is the energy difference between parallel and antiparallel alignment of the z component of an electron's spin magnetic dipo

Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

$\Delta U= 4.8204\times10^{-24} J$

Explanation:

The difference between parallel and anti parallel alignment of the z component of an electron's spin magnetic dipole moment is given by

$U_1-U_2= (-\mu Bcos(\theta_2))-(-\mu Bcos(\theta_1))$

where μ= dipole moment B= strength of magnetic field and θ= angle between direction of magnetic field and dipole

here θ_2 and θ_1 are 180 and 0° respectively.

$U_1-U_2= (\mu B)-(-\mu B)$

$U_1-U_2= 2\mu B$

here μ is bohr magnetron or magnetic moment of an electron = 9.27×10^{-24}

put this value we get

$U_1-U_2= 2\times 9.27\times10^{-24}(0.26)$

$\Delta U= 4.8204\times10^{-24} J$

Microphone Electricity needs

Finger [1]

Sound—energy we can hear—travels only so far before it soaks away into the world around us. Until electrical microphoneswere invented in the late 19th century, there was no satisfactory way to send sounds to other places. You could shout, but that carried your words only a little further. You couldn't shout in New York City and make yourself heard in London. And you couldn't speak in 1715 and have someone listen to what you said a hundred years later! Remarkably, such things are possible today: by converting sound energy into electricity and information we can store, microphones make it possible to send the sounds of our voices, our music, and the noises in our world to other places and other times. How do microphones work? Let's take a closer look!

Explain the difference between the four states of matter.

pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

Solids :A solid has a definite shape and volume because the molecules that make up the solid are packed closely together and move slowly. Solids are often crystalline; examples of crystalline solids include table salt, sugar, diamonds, and many other minerals. Solids are sometimes formed when liquids or gases are cooled; ice is an example of a cooled liquid which has become solid. Other examples of solids include wood, metal, and rock at room temperature. Liquids : A liquid has a definite volume but takes the shape of its container. Examples of liquids include water and oil. Gases may liquefy when they cool, as is the case with water vapor. This occurs as the molecules in the gas slow down and lose energy. Solids may liquefy when they heat up; molten lava is an example of solid rock which has liquefied as a result of intense heat. Gases : A gas has neither a definite volume nor a definite shape. Some gases can be seen and felt, while others are intangible for human beings. Examples of gases are air, oxygen, and helium. Earth's atmosphere is made up of gases including nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide. Plasma: Plasma has neither a definite volume nor a definite shape. Plasma often is seen in ionized gases, but it is distinct from a gas because it possesses unique properties. Free electrical charges (not bound to atoms or ions) cause the plasma to be electrically conductive. The plasma may be formed by heating and ionizing a gas. Examples of plasma include stars, lightning, fluorescent lights, and neon signs.

When a comet comes close to the Sun, what happens to it that makes it bright and easier to see?

Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

Explanation:

Comet is made by dust particles, icy particles, gases etc.

A comet has a fixed time to complete a revolution around the sun.

As a comet comes nearer to the sun, due to the heat of the sun the vapour and the icy particles becomes gases and due to the radial pressure of energy od sun, we observe a tail of comet which has vapours mainly. SI the comet is visible easily.
