Answer:

Heat is the total energy of molecular motion in a substance while temperature is a measure of the average energy of molecular motion in a substance. Heat energy depends on the speed of the particles, the number of particles (the size or mass), and the type of particles in an object. Temperature does not depend on the size or type of object. For example, the temperature of a small cup of water might be the same as the temperature of a large tub of water, but the tub of water has more heat because it has more water and thus more total thermal energy. It is heat that will increase or decrease the temperature. If we add heat, the temperature will become higher. If we remove heat the temperature will become lower. Higher temperatures mean that the molecules are moving, vibrating and rotating with more energy. If we take two objects which have the same temperature and bring them into contact, there will be no overall transfer of energy between them because the average energies of the particles in each object are the same. But if the temperature of one object is higher than that of the other object, there will be a transfer of energy from the hotter to the colder object until both objects reach the same temperature.

Temperature is not energy, but a measure of it. Heat is energy.

Hope I helped :)

Which of the following elements have the same valence electrons as germanium
Elina [12.6K]
Carbon, Lead and Silicon all have the same amount of valence electrons as Germanium. This can be determined by looking at their position on the periodic table. Within each column (group) all the elements have the same amount of valence electrons. This explains why they will all have very similar chemical properties.

12.4 g of phosphorus reacts with 9.6 g of oxygen.
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

D 4P +3O₂ → 2 P₂O₃

Explanation:

In this problem, we need to convert the mass of phosphorus and oxygen to moles trying to find the ratio of reaction (The moles of P that reacts per mole of O₂):

<em>Moles P:</em>

12.4g P * (1mol P / 31g) = 0.4 moles

<em>Moles O₂:</em>

9.6g * (1mol / 32g) = 0.3 moles

The ratio of reaction is:

0.4 mol / 0.3 mol = 1.33 = 4 moles of P / 3 moles of O₂

That means 4 moles of P react with 3 moles of O₂ and the reaction that represents this ratio is:

<h3>D 4P +3O₂ → 2 P₂O₃</h3>
