<span>Well, during the day, the water, as well as the surfaces surrounding the water, are heated by various thermodynamic processes: conduction, convection, radiation, etc. This in turn warms the water molecules in the lakes, streams, rivers, and oceans, thereby transferring heat (their kinetic energy) to the water molecules, which in turn receive that energy from the surrounding surfaces, or directly via radiation/insolation from the sun. When the water molecules attain enough energy, some of them attain enough energy to escape the surface of the liquid and enter the gas phase. Hence, as water is heated, more and more water molecules attain enough kinetic energy to enter the gas phase.</span>

Which is an example of practical pursuit of alchemy
Oduvanchick [21]
A practical pursuit of alchemy was the development of metallurgy practices. As alchemists always tried to turn various metals into other things, metalworking techniques were developed even though their experiments were often unsuccessful.

Consider the insoluble compound cobalt(II) hydroxide , Co(OH)2 . The cobalt(II) ion also forms a complex with ammonia . Write a
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

4.56×10^-10

Explanation:

Co(OH)2(s)<------->Co^2+(aq) + 2OH^-(aq)

Co^2+(aq) + 6NH3(aq) ---------->[Co(NH3)6]^2+(aq)

Overall equation:

Co(OH)2(s)+ 6NH3(aq) ---------->[Co(NH3)6]^2+(aq) + 2OH^-(aq)

The increased solubility of the cobalt salt in the presence of ammonia is as a result of the formation of the hexammine cobalt II complex shown above.

Knet= Ksp×Kf

Ksp of Co(OH)2= 5.92 × 10^-15.

Kf= 7.7 x 10^4

Knet= 5.92 × 10^-15 × 7.7 x 10^4

Knet= 4.56×10^-10

Note Knet is the equilibrium constant of the overall reaction.

Which gas law is represented by the following equation: V1/T1 = V2/T2
jasenka [17]

Answer:

Charles's law

Explanation:

The expression:

     V1/T1 = V2/T2

represents Charles's law

The law states that "the volume of a fixed mass of a gas varies directly as its absolute temperature if the pressure is constant".

 So,

    V1/T1 = V2/T2

Pressure and the number of moles are constant

V and T are the volume and temperature

1 and 2 are the initial and final states.
