When a pot of water sits on a hot stove, the metal pot is heated, and then transfers its heat to the water. A student claims that conduction is the only type of heat transfer occurring. The statement that explains why the student’s idea is incorrect Conduction cannot occur between two different phases of matter. The answer is letter A.

Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When we heat a fluid then the cooler material which is more denser in nature will sink at the bottom whereas the hot material which is less denser in nature will rise at the top. This flow of material induces currents and the process is known as convection.

For example, when a metal pot of water is heated then heat will be transferred from pot to the water represents convection process.

Whereas when two objects are touching each other and both of them have different temperature then heat will flow from warmer object to cooler object. This process is known as conduction.

Thus, we can conclude that the statement conduction cannot occur between two different phases of matter explains why the student's idea is incorrect.

A solution is made by combining 500 mL of 0.10 M HF (Ka=7.2 x 10^-4) with 300 mL of 0.15 M NaF. What is the pH of the resulting
n200080 [17]

Answer:

b) 3.10

Explanation:

HF ⇄ H + + F

Using Henderson-Hasselbalch Equation:

pH = pKa + log [A-]/[HA].

Where;

pKa = Dissociation constant = -log Ka

Hence, pKa of HF = -log 7.2 x 10^-4 = 3.14266

[A-] = concentration of conjugate base after dissociation = moles of base/total volume

          = 0.15 x 0.3/0.8

               = 0.05625 M

[HA] = concentration of the acid = moles of acid/total volume

             = 0.10 x 0.5/0.8

                    = 0.0625 M

Note: <em>Total volume = 500 + 300 = 800 mL = 0.8 dm3</em>

pH = 3.14266 + log [0.05625/0.0625]

      = 3.14267 + (-0.04575749056)

           = 3.09691250944

<em>From all the available options below:</em>

<em>a) 2.97 </em>

<em>b) 3.10 </em>

<em>c) 3.19 </em>

<em>d) 3.22 </em>

<em>e) 3.32</em>

The correct option is b.

What are the 6 things needed on a graph?
Furkat [3]
1. Always give your graph a title in the following form: "The dependence of (your dependent variable) on (your independent variable). <span><span>Let's say that you're doing a graph where you're studying the effect of temperature on the speed of a reaction. In this reaction, you're changing the temperature to known values, so the temperature is your independent variable. Because you don't know the speed of the reaction and speed depends on the temperature, the speed of the reaction is your dependent variable. As a result, the title of your graph will be "The dependence of reaction rate on temperature", or something like that.</span> 

 </span>2. The x-axis of a graph is always your independent variable and the y-axis is the dependent variable.<span>For the graph described above, temperature would be on the x-axis (the one on the bottom of the graph), and the reaction rate would be on the y-axis (the one on the side of the graph) 

 </span>3. Always label the x and y axes and give units.<span>Putting numbers on the x and y-axes is something that everybody always remembers to do (after all, how could you graph without showing the numbers?). However, people frequently forget to put a label on the axis that describes what those numbers are, and even more frequently forget to say what those units are. For example, if you're going to do a chart which uses temperature as the independent variable, you should write the word "temperature (degrees Celsius)" on that axis so people know what those numbers stand for. Otherwise, people won't know that you're talking about temperature, and even if they do, they might think you're talking about degrees Fahrenheit. 
 
</span>4. Always make a line graph<span><span>Never, ever make a bar graph when doing science stuff. Bar graphs are good for subjects where you're trying to break down a topic (such as gross national product) into it's parts. When you're doing graphs in science, line graphs are way more handy, because they tell you how one thing changes under the influence of some other variable. </span> 
 
</span><span>5. Never, EVER, connect the dots on your graph!Hey, if you're working with your little sister on one of those placemats at Denny's, you can connect the dots. When you're working in science, you never, ever connect the dots on a graph.Why? When you do an experiment, you always screw something up. Yeah, you. It's probably not a big mistake, and is frequently not something you have a lot of control over. However, when you do an experiment, many little things go wrong, and these little things add up. As a result, experimental data never makes a nice straight line. Instead, it makes a bunch of dots which kind of wiggle around a graph. This is normal, and will not affect your grade unless your teacher is a Nobel prize winner. However, you can't just pretend that your data is perfect, because it's not. Whenever you have the dots moving around a lot, we say that the data is noisy, because the thing you're looking for has a little bit of interference caused by normal experimental error.</span><span>To show that you're a clever young scientist, your best bet is to show that you KNOW your data is sometimes lousy. You do this by making a line (or curve) which seems to follow the data as well as possible, without actually connecting the dots. Doing this shows the trend that the data suggests, without depending too much on the noise. As long as your line (or curve) does a pretty good job of following the data, you should be A-OK. 

 </span>6. Make sure your data is graphed as large as possible in the space you've been given.<span><span>Let's face it, you don't like looking at little tiny graphs. Your teacher doesn't either. If you make large graphs, you'll find it's easier to see what you're doing, and your teacher will be lots happier.</span> 
 </span><span>So, those are the steps you need to follow if you're going to make a good graph in your chemistry class. I've included a couple of examples of good and bad graphs below so you know what these things are supposed to look like.</span>

Which type of reaction occurs in the following equation?
Tema [17]
The  type  of  reaction  which  occurs  is  referred to  as  redox  reaction.  This  kind  of  reaction  involve  both  oxidation  and  reduction.
Al(s)  is  oxidized  to  alluminium  ions,  while  cu2+  is reduced  copper metal.Reduction  occurs   at  the  cathode  while oxidation  occurs at  the anode.
