Anh measured the temperature of a pond near his house. Before he left for school, the water in the pond was 18 degrees celsius.

When he came home from school, the temperature of the pond was higher than it was in the morning. What happened to the water molecules while he was at school?
A) The molecules get closer together.
B) the molecules started moving faster.
C) The water lost its molecules.
D) The molecules became larger.

As the temperature increases, B) the molecules started moving faster.

Explanation:

The temperature of a substance is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance. In particular, it can be found that the temperature is directly proportional to the average kinetic energy of the particles:

T\propto KE

The kinetic energy of a particle is given by

KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where

m is the mass of the particle

v is its speed

This means that the higher the temperature of a substance, the greater the speed of the particles in the substance.

Therefore, if we apply this concept to this problem, we infer that as the temperature of the water in the pond gets higher, the speed of the molecules inside the water increases, which means that the molecules are moving faster.

Therefore, the correct answer is

B) the molecules started moving faster.

How does the periodic table make it easier for the scientist to work with and study elements
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

The periodic table has gone through many changes since Dmitri Mendeleev drew up its original design in 1869, yet both the first table and the modern periodic table are important for the same reason: The periodic table organizes elements according to similar properties so you can tell the characteristics of an element just by looking at its location on the table

stearic acid and linoleic acid stearic acid and linoleic acid stearic acid has the higher melting point, because it has two more
elena55 [62]

Acid palmitic acid has higher melting point, because it has two more methylene groups.

\text { Myristic acid } \rightarrow \mathrm{CH}_3\left(\mathrm{CH}_2\right)_{12} \mathrm{COOH} \\& \text { Palmitic acid } \rightarrow \mathrm{CH}_3\left(\mathrm{CH}_2\right)_{14} \mathrm{COOH} \\

Acid palmitic acid has higher melting point, because it has two more methylene groups.

Giving it a greater surface area and therefore more intermolecular  van der waals interact than the myristic acid.

stearic arid \mathrm{CH}_3\left(\mathrm{CH}_2\right)_{16} \mathrm{COOH}

linoleic acid \mathrm{C}_{18} \mathrm{H}_{32} \mathrm{O}_2 (two double bond)

Stearic acid has higher Melting point, because it does not have any Carbon-Carbon double bonds, whereas linoleic acid has two cis double bonds which prevent the molecules from packing closely together.

Oleic Acid and Linoleic acid.

\mathrm{C}_{18} \mathrm{H}_{34} \mathrm{O}_2-one double bond (cis)

Acid palmitic acid has higher melting point, because it has two more methylene groups.
