Which best explains why metal cooking utensils often have plastic coating on the handles

1 answer:

4 0

Metal solids contain a positively-charged cation surrounded by a "sea" of delocalised, negatively-charged electrons.

The electrons are able to move freely, and hence transfer kinetic energy throughout the implement at a much quicker rate than non-metals.

Plastic is made of non-metals (Mostly carbon and hydrogen) and therefore is a poor thermal conductor.

Therefore, by coating the metal utensil in plastic, the rate of heat energy transfer to the person in contact's hand is decreased.

Select the pair that has the larger atom or ion listed first.

Sedbober [7]

Answer:

Correc option: $Br^- \, , Kr$

Explanation:

size of atom : it says somthing about how many shell present in a particular atom or ion and it can also be evaluated on the basis of radius of atom.

Br^- and Kr has highest number of shell as compared to other group of species .

Na ,S , Mg ,P all are from 3rd period but Kr and Br^- in the 4th period so size of species of this group will more,

Size increases on increasring the shell number

An alkene with the molecular formula C8H16 undergoes ozonolysis to yield a mixture of (CH3)2C=O and (CH3)3CCHO. The alkene is:

aalyn [17]

Answer:

2,4,4-trimethyl-2-pentene yields mixture of $(CH_{3})_{2}C=O$ and $(CH_{3})_{3}CHO$

Explanation:

In ozonolysis (hydrolysis step involve a reducing agent such as Zn, $Me_{2}S$ etc.), a pi bond is broken to form ketone/aldehyde.

Ketone is formed from di-substituted side of double bond and aldehyde is formed from mono-substituted side of double bond.

Ozoznolysis involves two consecutive steps : (1) formation of ozonide, (2) hydrolysis of ozonide.

Hydrolysis can be done with/without using reducing agent. Carboxylic acid/carbon dioxide/ketone is produced when hydrolysis is done without using reducing agent.

Here, 2,4,4-trimethyl-2-pentene yields mixture of $(CH_{3})_{2}C=O$ and $(CH_{3})_{3}CHO$

Reaction steps are shown below.

Natalija [7]

<span> If you want to lift something that weighs 100kg, you have to pull down with a force equivalent to 100kg, which is 1000N (newtons). I hope this helps, please mark brainiest if it does. I will attach a picture I found off the internet to further help you :)
(There are like 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 other ways I could have put that, to make it sound less creepy, I could just edit it now instead of writing this huge thing... oh well lol)

A chemist must dilute of aqueous sodium carbonate solution until the concentration falls to . He'll do this by adding distilled

Mademuasel [1]

The question is incomplete, complete question is :

A chemist must dilute 73.9 mL of 400 mM aqueous sodium carbonate solution until the concentration falls to 125 mM . He'll do this by adding distilled water to the solution until it reaches a certain final volume. Calculate this final volume, in liters. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.

Answer:

The final volume of the solution will be 0.236 L.

Explanation:

Concentration of sodium carbonate solution before dilution = $M_1= 400 mM$
