Answer: Option (4) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

  • A force exerted due to collision or pushing an object is known as pressure. A pressure on an object can be exerted by external factors or internal molecules.

For example, when atoms of a gas are colliding on the walls of a container then pressure is caused by them.

  • Stress is defined as the external force applied over per unit area of an object.
  • Gravity is defined as the force which tends to pull an object towards the center of the Earth.
  • Friction is defined as the force that resists the motion of an object when its surface comes in contact with the ground or it slides.

Thus, we can conclude that the effect of atoms colliding with the walls of a container is called pressure.

What net ionic equation describes the reaction when these solutions are mixed?
GarryVolchara [31]
Balanced chemical reaction:
2Na₃PO₄(aq) + 3CaCl₂(aq) → 6NaCl(aq) + Ca₃(PO₄)₂(s).
Ionic reaction:
6Na⁺(aq) + 2PO₄³⁻(aq) + 3Ca²⁺(aq) + 6Cl⁻(aq) → 6Na⁺(aq) + 6Cl⁻(aq) + Ca₃(PO₄)₂(s).
Net ionic reaction: 2PO₄³⁻(aq) + 3Ca²⁺(aq) → Ca₃(PO₄)₂(s).
<span>(aq) means that substances are dissociated on cations and anions in water.
</span>(s) means solid.

How does the use of hydroelectric energy compare to the use of coal?
lora16 [44]
<span>Hydroelectric energy uses the movement of water to spin a turbine and produce electricity. Coal is a fossil fuel that is burned as an energy source, which results in emissions such as carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and sulfur. Coal use is associated with waste products both from the mining process to acquire the coal and also from the actual use of coal itself. Hydroelectric energy does not involve waste, but does pose potential problems to waterways. Coal use is more common than the use of hydroelectric energy.</span>

"What is the change of entropy for 3.0 kg of water when the 3.0 kg of water is changed to ice at 0"
Artyom0805 [142]

Q: What is the change of entropy for 3.0 kg of water when the 3.0 kg of water is changed to ice at 0 °C? (Lf = 3.34 x 105 J/kg)

Answer:

-3670.33 J/K

Explanation:

Entropy: This can be defined as the degree of randomness or disorderliness of a substance. The S.I unit of Entropy is J/K.

Mathematically,  change of Entropy can be expressed as,

ΔS = ΔH/T ....................................... Equation 1

Where ΔS = Change of entropy, ΔH = heat change, T = temperature.

ΔH = -(Lf×m).................................... Equation 2

Note: ΔH is negative because heat is lost.

Where Lf = latent heat of ice = 3.34×10⁵ J/kg, m = 3.0 kg, m = mass of water = 3.0 kg

Substitute into equation

ΔH = -(3.34×10⁵×3.0)

ΔH = - 1002000 J.

But T = 0 °C = (0+273) K = 273 K.

Substitute into equation 1

ΔS = -1002000/273

ΔS = -3670.33 J/K

Note: The negative value of ΔS shows that the entropy of water decreases when it is changed to ice at 0 °C

What would be the greatest difference in using an open ceramic coffee mug rather than an insulated mug with a lid as a calorimet
adoni [48]
The answer is number 4 or the exchange of energy with the surroundings. Calorimetry is a measurement of energy that is formed or absorbed in a certain process. The calorimeter is the instrument used in order to measure the energy. It is recommended that a calorimeter should be a closed system so as to measure precisely the energy and avoid or lessen the exchange of energy with the surroundings. Thus, comparing an open ceramic mug and an insulated mug with a lid, the greatest difference is the energy lost to the surroundings.
