PLEASE HELP ME I HAVE NO IDEA “Heat (thermal) energy is being applied to the substance whenever the Bunsen Burner is on. Before

the solid begins to melt, how is this energy being used?”
Chemistry

TLDR: The energy was being used simply to heat the substance up.

Whenever something melts, it performs what is called a "phase transition", where the state of matter moves from one thing to something else. You can see this in your iced drink at lunch; as the ice in the cup of liquid heats up, it reaches a point where it will eventually "change phase", or melt. The same can be achieved if you heat up that water enough, like if you're cooking; when you boil eggs, the water has so much thermal energy it can "change phase" and become a gas!

However, water doesn't randomly become a boiling gas, it has to heat up for a while before it reaches that temperature. For a real-life example, the next time you cook something, hold you hand above the water before it starts boiling. You'll see that that water has quite a high temperature despite not boiling.

There's a lot of more complex chemistry to describe this phenomena, such as the relationship between the temperature, pressure, and what is called the "vapor pressure" of a liquid when describing phase changes, but for now just focus on the heating effect. When ice melts, it doesn't seem like its heating up, but it is. The ice absorbs energy from its surroundings (the warmer water), thus heating up the ice and cooling down the water. Similarly, the bunsen burner serves to heat up things in the lab, so before the solid melts in this case it was simply heating up the solid to the point that it <u>could</u> melt.

Hope this helps!

Explanation: genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are being made by inserting a gene from an external source such as viruses, bacteria, animals or plants (etc) into foods. Genetically modified foods seem to be not as healthy as unmodified foods, according to research. also many people are against it due to the fact that some people go overboard and add too many genetically modified organisms, which causes health risks and unfortunately harms people. sometimes genetically modified food contains toxins and antibiotics. srry i couldnt find much on the process but this is based off my background knowledge so yeah

How does an underwater earthquake cause a tsunami? I need this for an assignment, if you could send me some links or a thoroughl
mars1129 [50]
An earthquake happens when tectonic plates move against each other. A oceanic and a continental tectonic plates might move against each other. When that happens water is pushed upwards and it creates ripples that then move towards land. It's like throwing a rock in water but a lot bigger. I can't post external links on Brainly but you can find more information about tsunami's on Google

How much faster does helium escape through a porous container than ozone?
otez555 [7]
According to Graham's Law ," the rates of effusion or diffusion of two gases are inversely proportional to the square root of their molecular masses at given pressure and temperature".

                                r₁ / r₂  =  \sqrt{M2 / M1}   ---- (1)

r₁    =  Rate of effusion of He

r₂    =  Rate of Effusion of O₃

M₁  =  Molecular Mass of He  =  4 g/mol

M₂  =  Molecular Mass of O₃  =  48 g/mol

Putting values in eq. 1,

                                r₁ / r₂  =  \sqrt{48 / 4}

                                r₁ / r₂  =  \sqrt{12}

                                r₁ / r₂  =  3.46

Result:
          Therefore, Helium will effuse 3.46 times more faster than Ozone.
