What is an observation? what is an observation?

Chemistry
1 answer:
allsm [11]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Definition: a statement based on something one has seen, heard, or noticed

Explanation:

In my own words it would be something you would have seen or heard.

For example you add salt to a glass of water and stirred it. An observation would be that you watched the salt dissolve in the water.

Describe one example of an energy transformation in this diagram and explain why it is a transformation. Repeat this description
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

The conservation of energy principle states that energy can neither be destroyed nor created. Instead, energy just transforms from one form into another. So what exactly is energy transformation? Well, as you might guess, energy transformation is defined as the process of changing energy from one form to another. There are so many different kinds of energy that can transform from one form to another. There is energy from chemical reactions called chemical energy, energy from thermal processes called heat energy, and energy from charged particles called electrical energy. The processes of fission, which is splitting atoms, and fusion, which is combining atoms, give us another type of energy called nuclear energy. And finally, the energy of motion, kinetic energy, and the energy associated with position, potential energy, are collectively called mechanical energy. That sounds like quite a lot, doesn't it? Well it is, but don't worry, it's actually all pretty easy to remember. Next, we'll explore all of these kinds of possible transformations in more detail. Different Types of Energy Transformations Chemical energy is the energy stored within a substance through the bonds of chemical compounds. The energy stored in these chemical bonds can be released and transformed during any type of chemical reaction. Think of when you're hungry. When you eat a piece of bread to satisfy this hunger, your body breaks down the chemical bonds of the bread and uses it to supply energy to your body. In this process, the chemical energy is transformed into mechanical energy, which you use to move, and which we'll cover in more detail in a moment. It also transforms it into thermal energy, which is created through the metabolic processes in your body to generate heat. Most of the time, chemical energy is released in the form of heat, and this transformation from chemical energy to heat, or thermal energy, is called an exothermic reaction. Next, there are two main types of mechanical energy: kinetic energy and potential energy. Kinetic energy is the energy associated with the motion of an object. Therefore, any object that moves has kinetic energy. Likewise, there are two types of potential energy: gravitational potential energy and elastic potential energy. Gravitational potential energy is associated with the energy stored by an object because of its location above the ground. Elastic potential energy is the energy stored by any object that can stretch or compress. Potential energy can be converted to kinetic energy and vice versa. For example, when you do a death-defying bungee jump off of a bridge, you are executing a variety of energy transformations. First, as you prepare to jump, you have gravitational potential energy - the bungee cord is slack so there is no elastic potential energy. Once you jump, you convert this gravitational potential energy into kinetic energy as you fall down. At the same time, the bungee cord begins to stretch out. As the cord stretches, it begins to store elastic potential energy. You stop at the very bottom when the cord is fully stretched out, so at this point, you have elastic potential energy. The cord then whips you back up, thereby converting the stored elastic potential energy into kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy. The process then repeats

Which part of the mantle is still solid but flows like a heavy liquid
topjm [15]

The Earth is composed of four different layers. Many geologists believe that as the Earth cooled the heavier, denser materials sank to the center and the lighter materials rose to the top. Because of this, the crust is made of the lightest materials (rock- basalts and granites) and the core consists of heavy metals (nickel and iron).

 

<span>The crust is the layer that you live on, and it is the most widely studied and understood. The mantle is much hotter and has the ability to flow. The Outer and Inner Cores are hotter still with pressures so great that you would be squeezed into a ball smaller than a marble if you were able to go to the center of the Earth!!!!!!</span>

Concentration of 10.00 mL of HBr if it takes 5 mL of a 0.253 M LiOH solution to<br> neutralize it?
Sonbull [250]
In a titration, for an acid to neutralize a base, at the equivalence point, there should be an equal number of moles of H+ and OH-.

Moles of OH- can be found by multiplying the concentration of the base by the volume. (You will need to keep in mind the stoichimetric coefficients if the strong base is Ca(OH)₂, Ba(OH)₂, or Sr(OH)₂.

Moles of OH- = moles of H+
(0.253 M) * 0.005 L = 0.01000 L * c
c = 0.1265 M

The concentration of HBr is 0.127 M.

The equation for the formation of water from hydrogen gas and oxygen gas is 2H2+O2→2H2O.
inn [45]

Answer:

180g

Explanation:

H:1   O:16

2H2+O2 → 2H2O

 2   2(16)       2(1)+(16)

        32              18

Now,

       32g of O → 2(18)g of H2O

       160g of O → 2(18)g divides by 32g times 160g

                            =180g
