Why is gasoline so flammable

Physics
2 answers:
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]3 years ago
8 0
Flammable and combustible liquids themselves do not burn. It is the mixture of their vapours and air that burns. Gasoline, with a flashpoint of -40°C (-40°F), is a flammable liquid. Even at temperatures as low as -40°C (-40°F), it gives off enough vapour to form a burnable mixture in air.

It is flammable because of the low flashpoint. Gasoline's flashpoint is -40 degrees Fahrenheit, which essentially means that the vapors released into the oxygenated air can be lit ablaze in low temperatures.

What is carried by a wave?
Nata [24]
Waves carry energy from one place to another. Because waves carry energy, some waves are used for communication, eg radio and television waves and mobile telephone signals. ... Some types of waves need to be transmitted through matter, either a solid, liquid or a gas. For example, water waves have to travel in water.

What type of power plant burns material to make electricity?
Alecsey [184]
<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is: D. Coal

<h2>Why?</h2>

Coal power plants burn coal in to get steam, the steam flows into a turbine which is coupled to an electrical generator.

Coal power plants work burning high amounts of coal into a boiler, generation a lot of steam under extreme pressures. The steam is obtained when the water is heated by the burning coal, then the steam is cooled, being transformed in liquid water again (due the condensation process) and it's sent back on a cyclical process.

Have a nice day!

What is the enthalpy change, ΔH, for this reaction? Show your work.
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

B) What is the enthalpy change, ∆H, for this reaction? Show your work to receive full credit (5 points) The enthalpy change is 150. To find it we must subtract energy of products (200) & the energy of reactants (50) so 200 – 50 equals 150.

algol13

Answer:

Maximum Tension=224N

Minimum tension= 64N

Explanation:

Given

mass =8 kg

constant speed = 6m/s .

g=10m/s^2

Maximum Tension= [(mv^2/ r) + (mg)]

Minimum tension= [(mv^2/ r) - (mg)]

Then substitute the values,

Maximum Tension= [8 × 6^2)/2 +(8×9.8)] = 224N

Minimum tension= [8 × 6^2)/2 -(8×9.8)]

=64N

Hence, Minimum tension and maximum Tension are =64N and 2224N respectively
