What happens to the temperature of a substance when it is changing state of matter?

1 answer:

5 0

Solid substances have molecules held tightly and close together
Liquid substances have molecules moving loosely
Gaseous molecules are moving completely freely

As moleclues get further apart, i.e. As a substance changes state from solid to liquid to gas, molecules gain kinetic energy and vibrate/move more. This means they gain heat energy (the averge energy a substance has) so the temperature increases

Substances exist in different states at different temperatures and different substances will exist in different states at the same temperature. This is to do with the forces between molecules and how much heat (energy) is required to break them

Explain the energy transfer if a book on the edge of a table, falls to the floor. There should be 3 types of energy transfers.

gavmur [86]

Answer:

potential energy

kinetic energy

thermal energy

Explanation:

The book's potential energy can be released by knocking it off the table. As the book falls, its potential energy is converted to kinetic energy. When the book hits the floor this kinetic energy is converted into heat and sound by the impact.

Soap bubbles can display impressive colors, which are the result of the enhanced reflection of light of particular wavelengths f

Bogdan [553]

Answer:

the minimum wall thickness that will enhance the reflection of light is 146.9 nm

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

At the first interface, a phase shift occurs as the incident light is in air that has less refractive index compare to the thin film of soap bubble.

At the second interface, no shift occurs,

condition for constructive interference;

t = ( m + 1/2) × λ/2n

where m = 0, 1, 2, 3 . . . . . .

now, the condition for the constructive interference;

t = mλ/2n

where t is the thickness of the soap bubble, λ is the wavelength of light and n is the refractive index of soap bubble.

so the minimum thickness of the film which will enhance reflection of light will be;

t $_{min$ = ( m + 1/2) × λ/2n

we substitute

t $_{min$ = ( 0 + 1/2) × 711 /2(1.21)

t $_{min$ = 0.5 × 711/2.42

t $_{min$ = 0.5 × 293.80165

t $_{min$ = 146.9 nm

Therefore, the minimum wall thickness that will enhance the reflection of light is 146.9 nm

A gas bottle contains 0.250 mol of gas at 730 mm hg pressure. if the final pressure is 1.15 atm, how many moles of gas were adde

Ludmilka [50]

Answer: 0.049 mol

Explanation:

1) Data:

n₁ = 0.250 mol

p₁ = 730 mmHg

p₂ = 1.15 atm

n₂ - n₁ = ?

2) Assumptions:

i) ideal gas equation: pV = nRT

ii) V and T constants.

3) Solution:

i) Since the temperature and the volume must be assumed constant, you can simplify the ideal gas equation into:

pV = nRT ⇒ p/n = RT/V ⇒ p/n = constant.

ii) Then p₁ / n₁ = p₂ / n₂

⇒ n₂ = p₂ n₁ / p₁

iii) n₂ = 1.15atm × 760 mmHg/atm × 0.250 mol / 730mmHg = 0.299 mol

iv) n₂ - n₁ = 0.299 mol - 0.250 mol = 0.049 mol
