The correct answer of this question is : Low thermal conductivity of hot coals.

EXPLANATION :

Before going to answer of this question, first we have to understand the nature of hot coals of wood in terms of conductivity.

The thermal conductivity of the wood is very small i.e it is thermally insulator.

Due to the less thermal conductivity of wood, the heat  partially flows to the foot. The person will feel the heat, but not as much as the heat given by thermal conductors.

Hence, a barefoot person person can walk on hot coals of wood.

If you walk at an average speed of 5 km/h for 30 minutes, how
Inessa05 [86]

The distance that would be accumulated during the journey is 2.5 meters

The parameters given in the question are  written below;

average speed= 5 km/hr

time = 30 minutes

convert 30 minutes to hours

= 30/60

= 0.5 hours

Distance-= speed × time

= 5 × 0.5

= 2.5 meters

Hence the distance of the entire journey is 2.5 meters

An Na ion has a charge of +1 and an O ion has a charge of –2. How many Na ions does one O ion need to balance charges
Aleonysh [2.5K]
Because Na⁺ ion lacks an electron and O²⁻ has two extra electrons extra, to balance the charge, we need 2 Na⁺ ions.
 
All ions, atoms and molecules want to get to the minimum energy state, and that state is when the ion, atom, or molecule is neutral, that's why all of them want to balance their charges.
