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!

If a normal force of 500 N is acting on two surfaces in contact with a coefficient of friction equal to 0.50, what would be the
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

The answer to this is

The maximum force of static friction is 250 N

Explanation:

To solve this, we least out the given variables thus

normal force, N = 500 N

coefficient of friction, μ  = 0.50

the friction formula is F = μ × N

Therefore the maximum force of static friction will be

0.50 × 500 N = 250 N

Force due to friction is the resisting force to the relative motion of two contacting surfaces, tending to prevent them from sliding.

The force that describes the resistance to the relative motion of two contacting solid surfaces is dry friction force

when 5 moles of ion oxide react with 25 moles of carbon monoxide what is the moles of the product formed when one of the reagent
user100 [1]

Answer: 25 moles of product are formed.

Explanation:

The balanced chemical equation will be :

Fe_2O_3+3CO\rightarrow 2Fe+3CO_2  

According to stoichiometry :

1 mole of Fe_2)_3 require = 3 moles of CO

Thus 5 moles of Fe_2O_3 will require=\frac{3}{1}\times 5=15moles  of CO

Thus Fe_2O_3 is the limiting reagent as it limits the formation of product and CO is the excess reagent.

As  4 moles of reactant give = 5 moles of product

Thus 20 moles of reactants will give =\frac{5}{4}\times 20=25moles of products

How many moles of iron is equivalent to 4.45 x 10^22 atoms of iron
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

0.074 moles

Explanation:

For every mole (of any element), there are 6.022 x 10^23 atoms.

There are 4.45 x 10^22 atoms of iron.

To find the moles we divide the number of atoms by Avogadro's number

4.45 x 10^22 / 6.022 x 10^23 = 0.0738957
