You break a pencil lead. Which statement is true?

Chemistry
1 answer:
aalyn [17]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

  • <em><u>A physical change has occurred, with no energy change.</u></em>

Explanation:

When a pencil lead is broken there is not change of any chemical properties, therefore it is not a chemical change, but just a physical change. In this case the change is just the number of pieces and dimensions.

Chemical changes always involve the formation of new different substances; the bonds between the atoms of the starting substances (reactants) breake and new bonds are formed leading to new substances (products) with different chemical composition (arrange of atoms). Chemical changes occur through chemical reactions.

Hence, if there is not change on the chemical composition, you think on physical changes. Physical changes include change in shape, size, state of matter (e.g. solid, liquid, gas). In the case of a pencil lead breaking, it is a change in shape and size.

Also, since energy has not been absorbed or released during the change, the energy of the pencil lead before having been broken is equal to the sum of the energies of the pieces of pencil lead obtained. So, this is a physical change with no energy changes.

Some examples of physical changes that include change in energy are the change of state (e.g. solid to liquid or liquid to gas) and the dissolution of a compound.

You are conducting a plant growth experiment and need to generate a solution with growth factor, auxin or indole-3-acetic acid.
Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

7,01 g of indole-3-acetic acid

Explanation:

The milimolar concentration (mM) is defined as the ratio of milimoles per Liter of solution. 400mM means 400mmoles / L that is the same of <em>0,4mol / L</em>

100mL are <em>0,1L</em>. Using these values:

0,1L × (0,4mol / L ) = 0,04moles of indole-3-acetic acid.

As the MW of the molecule is 175,2 g/mol:

0,04mol × (175,2g / mol) = <em>7,01 g of indole-3-acetic acid</em>

<em></em>

Thus, <em>you need 7,01 g of indole-3-acetic acid to generate your solution</em>.

I hope it helps!

Of the molecules below, only ________ is polar.
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is option c, that is, H2O.

Explanation:

The two broad classes of molecules are the polar and nonpolar molecules. Polarity illustrates the dispersion of electrical charge surrounding a molecule. The charge is unevenly distributed in a polar molecule, while it is distributed evenly in a nonpolar molecule. It can be said that a polar molecule possesses the regions of partial charge.

A polar molecule like water possesses a dipole, that is, a part of the molecule exhibit a partial negative charge, and the part of the molecule possesses a partial positive charge. Generally, a polar molecule comprises polar or ionic covalent bonds. The polar molecules are generally soluble in polar solvents and are hydrophilic. They have higher melting points because of the strong intermolecular forces between them in the form of hydrogen bonding.

In the given options, H2O is a polar molecule as the hydrogen atoms electrons get fascinated towards the oxygen atom's electrons, which forms a positive charge on the atoms of hydrogen, and a negative charge on the oxygen atom.
