The bulb lights up in the circuit. Only two rods are conductors of electricity. Which one of the rods, X, Y or Z is definitely a

Answer: Rod X.

Explanation:

Ok, the electricity starts in the top left part. First, it must travel in the X rod, then it keeps traveling until it reaches the parallel path, and it can go to the Z rod, to the Y rod, or to both of them, and then it reaches the bulb (the circle with a X inside of it).

We know that two rods are conductors of electricity.

Now, suppose the case where rods Z and Y are the ones that conduct electricity, this means that X does not conduct electricity, then when the current reaches to X it stops (because X does not conduct) then the electricity never reaches the rods Z and Y, and then the electricity never reaches the bulb, but we know that the bulb lights up, so we must have that X is one of the conducting rods.

Then, if for example, Y does not conduct electricity, the electricity still can run through the Z rod and eventually reach the bulb.

So we can conclude that the rod that is definitely a conductor of electricity is rod X

3. Hydrogen reacts with nitrogen to produce ammonia according to the equation:
lys-0071 [83]

Mass of ammonia produced : 121.38 g

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Reaction

3H₂(g) + N₂(g) ⇒ 2NH₃(g)

100g of N₂

Required

Ammonia produced

Solution

mol of N₂ :

\tt mol=\dfrac{mass}{MW}\\\\mol=\dfrac{100}{28}\\\\mol=3.57

From the equation, mol ratio of N₂ and NH₃ = 1 : 2, so mol NH₃ :

\tt \dfrac{2}{1}\times 3.57=7.14~moles

mass of NH₃(MW=17 g/mol) :

\tt mass=mol\times MW\\\\mass=7.14\times 17\\\\mass=121.38~g

How long does it take for a 12.62g sample of ammonia to heat from 209K to 367K if heated at a constant rate of 6.0kj/min? The me
Georgia [21]
First, consider the steps to heat the sample from 209 K to 367K.

1) Heating in liquid state from 209 K to 239.82 K

2) Vaporaizing at 239.82 K

3) Heating in gaseous state from 239.82 K to 367 K.


Second, calculate the amount of heat required for each step.

1) Liquid heating

Ammonia = NH3 => molar mass = 14.0 g/mol + 3*1g/mol = 17g/mol

=> number of moles = 12.62 g / 17 g/mol = 0.742 mol

Heat1 = #moles * heat capacity * ΔT

Heat1 = 0.742 mol * 80.8 J/mol*K * (239.82K - 209K) = 1,847.77 J

2) Vaporization

Heat2 = # moles * H vap

Heat2 = 0.742 mol * 23.33 kJ/mol = 17.31 kJ = 17310 J

3) Vapor heating

Heat3 = #moles * heat capacity * ΔT

Heat3 = 0.742 mol * 35.06 J / (mol*K) * (367K - 239.82K) = 3,308.53 J

Third, add up the heats for every steps:

Total heat = 1,847.77 J + 17,310 J + 3,308.53 J = 22,466.3 J

Fourth, divide the total heat by the heat rate:

Time = 22,466.3 J / (6000.0 J/min) = 3.7 min

Answer: 3.7 min

Continental crust is younger than oceanic crust.
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

The answer is true.

Explanation:

Hello! Let's solve this!

The answer is true.

When a crust undergoes great tension, a crack opens and the oceanic crust begins to form. As the crack enlarges, the continent is splitting. Thus an oceanic crust forms. So the oceanic crust is younger than the earth's crust.

How can the first structure become the second structurethrough resonance in just one step?
evablogger [386]

Answer: This comes to bear because of what is known as resonance effect Or mesomeric effect In chemistry.

Explanation:

The concept of resonance effect reveals about the polarity induced in a molecule by the reaction between a lone pair of electron and a pi bond. It also occurs by the interaction of 2 pi bonds in the adjacent atoms.
