This question is incomplete. Here is the complete question:

Pumice is a lightweight rock that sometimes forms when lava is very rich in _____. A. silica B. gases C. feldspar D. volcanic glass

Answer:

The correct answer is option D. volcanic glass.

Explanation:

Pumice stone is a very common stone used for construction or cleaning among other things.

This rock is formed through lava that contains water and gas and comes from the inside of a volcano, so when this lava is thrown out of the volcano it cools and hardens, and is filled with bubbles of volcanic gas.

This type of rock is low density and can float on water.

Given this information we can say that the correct answer is the option D. volcanic glass

A. 207 kJ B. 4730 kJ C. 9460 kJ D. 414 kJ

MrMuchimi

Answer:

Q = 9460 Kj

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of copper = 2kg

Latent heat of vaporization = 4730 Kj/Kg

Energy required to vaporize 2kg copper = ?

Solution:

Equation

Q= mLvap

It is given that heat required to vaporize the one kilogram copper is 4730 Kj thus, for 2 kg

by putting values,

Q= 2kg × 4730 Kj/Kg

Q = 9460 Kj

How much energy (heat) is required to convert 248 g of water from 0oC to 154oC? Assume that the water begins as a liquid, that t

Arturiano [62]

Answer: The amount of heat required is 775.7 kJ

Explanation:

The processes involved in the given problem are:

$1.)H_2O(s)(0^oC,273K)\rightarrow H_2O(l)(0^oC,273K)\\2.)H_2O(l)(0^oC,273K)\rightarrow H_2O(l)(100^oC,373K)\\3.)H_2O(l)(100^oC,373K)\rightarrow H_2O(g)(100^oC,373K)\\4.)H_2O(g)(100^oC,373K)\rightarrow H_2O(g)(154^oC,427K)$

Now, we calculate the amount of heat released or absorbed in all the processes.

For process 1:

$q_1=m\times L_f$

where,

$q_1$ = amount of heat absorbed = ?

m = mass of water or ice = 248 g

$L_f$ = latent heat of fusion = 334 J/g

Putting all the values in above equation, we get:

$q_1=248g\times 334J/g=84832J$

For process 2:

$q_2=m\times C_{p,l}\times (T_{2}-T_{1})$

where,

$q_2$ = amount of heat absorbed = ?

$C_{p,l}$ = specific heat of water = 4.184 J/g°C

m = mass of water = 248 g

$T_2$ = final temperature = $100^oC$

$T_1$ = initial temperature = $0^oC$

Putting all the values in above equation, we get:

$q_2=248g\times 4.184J/g^oC\times (100-0)^oC=103763.2J$

For process 3:

$q_3=m\times L_v$

where,

$q_3$ = amount of heat absorbed = ?

m = mass of water or ice = 248 g

$L_v$ = latent heat of vaporization = $40.79kJ/mol\times \frac{1000}{18}=2266.1J/g$ (Conversion factor used: 1 kJ = 1000 J and molar mass of water = 18 g/mol)
