Explain why an ice cube will melt if compressed, even though the temperature remains the same

Chemistry
1 answer:
LiRa [457]3 years ago
6 0
A ice cube melts if compressed, because increasing the pressure decreases the melting point of water.

Ice has an open crystalline structure.

This structure collapses to a smaller volume when the ice melts to form liquid water.

Ice and water are at equilibrium at 0 °C.

If you apply pressure at 0 °C, the ice will melt in an attempt to relieve the stress and get to a smaller volume.

In the lab, you are given a metal ball. You measure the mass of the ball to be 28 g. You place the ball in a graduated cylinder
KIM [24]

Answer:

Density = 8.75ml

Explanation:

Density = Mass / Volume

In this problem ...

Mass = 28 grams

Volume = 31.4ml - 28.2ml = 32ml (water displacement also)

∴Density = mass /volume = 28g/32ml = 8.75g/ml

kondaur [170]

Answer:

The characteristic of silicon that is most closely related to its chemical reactivity is that;

It is found in nature in mainly as oxides and silicates

Explanation:

Silicon, which is a member of group 14 of the periodic table has the electron configuration of [Ne]3s²3p² and has a high affinity for oxygen such that the the oxides are known as silicates and it is almost impossible to find pure silicon in nature and it is found in the universe as silica and silicates

Silicate minerals make up over 90% of the Earth's crust such that, by mass silicon is only surpassed by oxygen as the most abundant element found in the Earth's crust.
