2 Points What happens when an amorphous solid breaks?

Chemistry
1 answer:
konstantin123 [22]3 years ago
4 0
An amorphous solid is defined as one lacking crystalline structure. Since it doesn’t have structure, it breaks to form a relatively random, jagged edges rather than straight ones it may tend to shatter in prices rather than cleave along a crystal plane l (since there is no crystal plane to break along)

H2O has a mc021-1.jpgHvap = 40.7 kJ/mol. What is the quantity of heat that is released when 27.9 g of H2O condenses?
jekas [21]
The molecular weight of H2O is 18g/mol.
Therefore, 27.9 g H2O / (1mol/18g) = 0.155 mol H2O
Calculating only for the latent heat, the heat required to be released for this amount of H2O to condense is:
40.7 kJ/mol (0.155 mol) = 6.3 kJ or -6.3 kJ since it is to be released

Which of the following materials is likely to be the best insulator?
valina [46]

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Insulator are the substances which do not conduct electricity. It is known that metals are good conductors of electricity. Whereas non-metals do not conduct electricity.

Out of the given options, silver, and calcium is a metal that means they are good conductors of electricity and are not insulators.

On the other hand, silicon is a metalloid, that is, it shows properties of both metals and non-metals. Hence, it will also show conductivity.

Phosphorus is a non-metal and therefore, it does not conduct electricity. As a result, out f the given options it will act as the best insulator.

3. Describe nuclear fission. What happens to the atomic number, mass number, protons, neutrons? Be able to write the reaction eq
MaRussiya [10]

Nuclear fission is a nuclear reaction in which the nucleus of an atom splits into smaller parts (lighter nuclei). The fission process often produces free neutrons and photons (in the form of gamma rays), and releases a large amount of energy. In nuclear physics, nuclear fission is either a nuclear reaction or a radioactive decay process. The case of decay process is called spontaneous fission and it is very rare process. In this section, the neutron-induced nuclear fission, the process of the greatest practical importance in reactor physics, will be discussed.

Fusion reactions between light elements, like fission reactions that split heavy elements, release energy because of a key feature of nuclear matter called the binding energy, which can be released through fusion or fission. The binding energy of the nucleus is a measure of the efficiency with which its constituent nucleons are bound together. Take, for example, an element with Z protons and N neutrons in its nucleus. The element’s atomic weight A is Z + N, and its atomic number is Z. The binding energy B is the energy associated with the mass difference between the Z protons and N neutrons considered separately and the nucleons bound together (Z + N) in a nucleus of mass M. The formula is

B = (Zmp + Nmn − M)c2.
