Even if you don't touch a marshmallow to a campfire flame, holding a marshmallow near a flame causes it to toast and turn brown.

Why does this happen?
Hot air in the atmosphere cooks the marshmallow.

Heat radiates from the fire and cooks the marshmallow.

Smoke and soot from the fire cause the marshmallow to brown.

Dust blowing through the air causes the marshmallow to brown.

The correct answer is B. Heat radiates from the fire and cooks the marshmallow.

Explanation:

Fire occurs as one material such as wood burns or oxidates (atoms of the material change), and this releases heat, and light. In the case of the heat emitted by fire, this goes beyond the visible flames, considering due to the process of oxidation a lot of energy is produced as heat. Additionally, this heat is transferred to nearby objects.

Due to this, just by being near to fire you can feel the heat emitted even without having contact with flames. This implies, in the case of a marshmallow that toasts and turns brown if you hold it near to a flame, this occurs because the heat radiates from the fire due to oxidation or combustion and this cooks the marshmallow changing the way it looks and tastes.

leva [86]

Answer:

84.2mL

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Initial volume (V1) = 128mL

Initial pressure (P1) = 500mmHg

Final pressure (P2) = stp = 760mmHg

Final volume (V2) =..?

Thus, the new volume of the gas can be obtained by using the Boyle's law equation as follow:

P1V1 = P2V2

500 x 128 = 760 x V2

Divide both side by 760

V2 = (500 x 128)/760

V2 = 84.2mL

Therefore, the new volume of the gas is 84.2mL

How many atoms are in two water molecules? pls and thxxxxxxxxx
arlik [135]

Answer:

A water molecule consists of three atoms; an oxygen atom and two hydrogen atoms, which are bond together like little magnets. The atoms consist of matter that has a nucleus in the centre. one mole of water contains 6.02 x 1023 MOLECULES of water But each molecule of water contains 2 H and 1 O atom = 3 atoms, so there are approximately 1.8 x 1024 atoms in a mole of water.Feb 12, 2003

Answer:

Earth's atmosphere contains a huge pool of nitrogen gas (N2). But this nitrogen is “unavailable” to plants, because the gaseous form cannot be used directly by plants without undergoing a transformation. To be used by plants, the N2 must be transformed through a process called nitrogen fixation.
