Identify which one is chemical change, chemical property,physical change and physical property
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

Heat conductivity: Physical property

Silver tarnishing: chemical change

Sublimation: physical change

Magnetizing steel: physical property

Length of a metal object: physical property

Shortening melting: physical property

exploding dynamite: chemical change

combustible: chemical property

water freezing: physical change

Acid resistance: chemical property

brittleness: physical property

milk souring: chemical change

baking bread: chemical change

Explanation:

First you need to understand the differences between physical and chemical change; physical and chemical property.

<u>Physical properties vs chemical properties:</u>

Physical properties are properties that you can observe without changing the substance's composition. This means you can measure these properties without changing them chemically.

Chemical properties, on the other hand, are properties are not as direct. These properties are generally determined by the way the react with other substances changing their composition.

<u>Physical changes vs chemical changes:</u>

A substance that undergoes physical change does not change in chemical composition. They may look physically different in terms of size and shape, but overall, their chemical composition remains constant. The best example would be water. Water can change phases, from solid to liquid when they melt. Essentially, they look like different substances, but the change is only physical and not chemical.

Chemical change, is different by the fact that they change in chemical composition. Bonds are broken and/or made through the reaction, which changes them not only physically but chemically as well. Some of the most indicative signs of a chemical change occurring are: change in color, odor, production of gas, production of light/heat.

Tectonic plates are large segments of the earth's crust that move slowly. suppose one such plate has an average speed of 4.8 cm
user100 [1]
<span>one year is 365, 1 day is 24 hours, 1 hour is 60 minutes, 60 minutes is 60 seconds, thus (365 * 24 * 60 * 60) = 31,536,000 one year is equal to 31,536,000 seconds. the plate has a speed of 4.8 cm every 31,536,000 seconds. lets find out how far it goes in 40 seconds. (4.8/31,536,000)*40 = 0.00000608828 The plate moves 0.00000608828 cm every 40 seconds</span>

Why would companies want their sunscreen to absorb nearly all of the UV light?
miskamm [114]

Answer:

Sunscreen is like a shield, you would want a better shield to protect you than a weak one so companies try to make their sunscreen better than the rest.

If we increase the force applied to an object, and all other factors remain the same, the amount of work will
soldier1979 [14.2K]
The question doesn't give us enough information to answer.
The answer depends on the mass of the object, how long the force
acts on the object, the OTHER forces on the object, and whether the
object is free to move.

-- If you increase the force with which you push on a brick wall,
the amount of work done remains unchanged, namely Zero.

-- If you push on a pingpong ball with a force of 1 ounce for 1 second,
the ball accelerates substantially, it moves a substantial distance, and
so the work done is substantial.

-- But if you push on a battleship, even with a much bigger force ...
let's say 1 pound ... and keep pushing for a month ... the ship accelerates
microscopically, moves a microscopic distance, and the work done by
your force is microscopic.

4. (a) A tank containing methanol has walls 2.50 cm thick made of glass of refractive index 1.550. Light from the outside air st
zhenek [66]

Answer:

29.775°

1.911

Explanation:

Law of refraction(Snell's law):  

n_1 sin Ф_1 = n_2 sin Ф_2  

n_1 = The index of refraction for material with incident light,

n_2 = The index of refraction for material with refracted light

Ф_1= angle of incidence,

Ф_2 = angle of refraction.  

Note: the angle is measured from the normal: a line drawn perpendicular to the surface at the point where the incident ray strikes the surface.

The Part of the light which continues into the second medium is transmitted rather than reflected, but the transmitted ray changes direction as it crosses the boundary. The transmission of light from one medium to another, but with a change in direction, is called refraction. The angles of the incidence and reflected light is described by (Snells law) which is shown above.  

a)

n_3 = 1.329 —> for metalmol —> from table

1 —> in air

2 —> in the glass

3 —> in methanol  

from air to glass

n_1 sin Ф_1 = n_2 sin Ф_2  

1 x sin 41.3° =  1.550  sin Ф_2  

Ф_2 = arcsin(1*sin41.3°/1.550) = 25.201°

from glass to methanol:

n_2 sin Ф_2 = n_3 sin Ф_3  

1.550 sin 25.201° = 1.329 * sin Ф_3

Ф_3 = arcsin(1.550 sin 25.201°/1.329) = 29.775

from glass to unknown:

n_2 sin Ф_2 = n_3 sin Ф_3  

1.550 sin 25.201° = n_unknown * sin 20.2

n_unknown = 1.550 sin 25.201°/sin 20.2

                     = 1.911
