How is it possible for two neutral objects to become charged by rubbing them together? A. The binding force of the objects’ atom

s overcomes the frictional force and their atoms become more tightly bound. B. The frictional force overcomes the atoms’ binding force, which releases an electron from the innermost orbit of one of the objects. C. There is no change in the objects. D. The frictional force overcomes the force that binds the electrons to the atoms, enabling the electrons to move elsewhere

Answer:

D. The frictional force overcomes the force that binds the electrons to the atoms, enabling the electrons to move elsewhere

Explanation:

Neutral objects becomes charged by rubbing them together due to the frictional force which overcomes the attractive force holding electrons together in an atom.

Friction is the resistance to flow or movement. When we rub bodies together, the movement of electrons becomes inhibited and this can cause an orbital electron loosely held in an atom to be pulled off as the force of friction increases. This mechanism would result in a body losing electron and another readily gaining that electron as they interact. The loss and gain of electrons causes a neutral body to become charged.

Which substance has Hf defined as 0 kJ/mol? H2O (s) Ne (l) O2 (g) CO2 (g)
vlabodo [156]

Answer:

O₂ (g).

Explanation:

  • All elements that found in nature has heat of formation (Hf) equal 0 J/mol.
  • So, the substance that  has heat of formation (Hf) equal 0 J/mol is O₂ (g).
  • H₂O is formed from the reaction of hydrogen and oxygen and has Hf, Also, the solidification of H₂O (s) from H₂O (l) has (Hf).
  • Although, Ne (g) is found in nature and has no Hf, the liquification to form Ne (l) has heat of formation (Hf).
  • CO₂ (g) is formed from the reaction between carbon and oxygen and so has heat of formation (Hf).

Which of the following does NOT involve a change of state? a. pouring water into a vacuum-insulated bottle b. sublimation of dry
Elena L [17]
<h2> The correct option is (a).</h2>

Explanation:

  • There is no change of state in pouring water into a vacuum insulated bottle as the vacuum created inside the bottle only reduces the time limit for the transfer of heat by conduction and convection.
  • It helps the content filled in the bottle to be hot and cool for a longer time.

Hence, option (a) is correct.

Rest of the options (b), (c), (d), (e) is not correct because of the following reasons:

  • In the sublimation of dry ice, the dry ice (solid-state) is changed to the vapour form.
  • In the freezing of water, the liquid state is changed to solid-state.
  • During the vaporization of alcohol, the liquid state is changed to the vapour form.
  • During the melting of ice, the solid-state is changed to the liquid state.

What makes a substance pure?
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer: When a substance is pure, it is composed of one type of molecule. For example, table salt is only composed of (more or less) salt molecules, while seawater has water and salt molecules. A more complicated example of a non - pure substance is soil. It has many different types of nutrients and compounds.

Why were colonists in new england angry at king james 2 abd governor edmund andros of new england?​
Pani-rosa [81]

His strict imposition of autocratic rule was supported by his appointment by the King, who otherwise was not directly involved.

Explanation:

Andros’ imposition of Episcopalian worship in the Old South Meeting house, Boston his vigorous enforcement of the Navigation Acts.

He had earned the enmity of the local populace by enforcing the restrictive Navigation Acts.

He had infuriated Puritans in Boston by promoting the Church of England, which was rejected by many Nonconformist New England colonists.

When news of the overthrow of James II (1688) reached Boston, the colonists revolted, deposing Andros and imprisoning him.

His requirement that landholders take out new land patents and his limitations upon town meetings and rights of local taxation all aroused sharp resentment in colonial America.
