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 :)

13. A mixture of MgCO3 and MgCO3.3H2O has a mass of 3.883 g. After heating to drive off all the water the mass is 2.927 g. What

rjkz [21]

Answer:

63.05% of MgCO3.3H2O by mass

Explanation:

of MgCO3.3H2O in the mixture?

The difference in masses after heating the mixture = Mass of water. With the mass of water we can find its moles and the moles and mass of MgCO3.3H2O to find the mass percent as follows:

Mass water:

3.883g - 2.927g = 0.956g water

Moles water -18.01g/mol-

0.956g water * (1mol/18.01g) = 0.05308 moles H2O.

Moles MgCO3.3H2O:

0.05308 moles H2O * (1mol MgCO3.3H2O / 3mol H2O) =

0.01769 moles MgCO3.3H2O

Mass MgCO3.3H2O -Molar mass: 138.3597g/mol-

0.01769 moles MgCO3.3H2O * (138.3597g/mol) = 2.448g MgCO3.3H2O

Mass percent:

2.448g MgCO3.3H2O / 3.883g Mixture * 100 =

How equation can show physical states and reaction conditions

GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

In a chemical equation, the reactants are written on the left, and the products are written on the right. Chemical equations should contain information about the state properties of products and reactants, whether aqueous (dissolved in water — aq), solid (s), liquid (l), or gas (g). hope that helped

How many grams of sodium chloride are present in a 0.75 M solution with a volume of 500.0 milliliters?

saveliy_v [14]

The molarity of a solution is a type of expression of concentration equal to the number of moles solute per liter solution. In this problem, we are given the molarity equal to 0.75 M and a volume equal to 500 milliliters. 500 milliliters is equal to 0.5 liters. we multiply M and L to get the number of moles then multiply by the molar mass of NaCl. The answer is 21.92 grams.

On a cool morning (12"C), a balloon is filled with 1.5 L of helium. By mid afternoon, the temperature has soared to 32°C. What i

ddd [48]

Answer:

1.6 L

Explanation:

Using Charle's law

$\frac {V_1}{T_1}=\frac {V_2}{T_2}$

Given ,

V₁ = 1.5 L

V₂ = ?

T₁ = 12 °C

T₂ = 32 °C

The conversion of T( °C) to T(K) is shown below:

T(K) = T( °C) + 273.15

So,

T₁ = (12 + 273.15) K = 285.15 K

T₂ = (32 + 273.15) K = 305.15 K

Using above equation as:

$\frac{1.5}{285.15}=\frac{V_2}{305.15}$

$V_2=\frac{1.5\cdot \:305.15}{285.15}$

New volume = 1.6 L

Which element in group 2 (Alkaline Earth Metals) is the most reactive?

never [62]

Answer:

the reactivity of alkaline earth metals increases from top to the bottom of the group, that's because the atoms get bigger from the top to the bottom so the valence electrons are farther from the nucleus.
