Why is a mass movement of mud called a flow?

Chemistry

In terms of a deeper scientific reason, I am not sure, but the basic reason is quite simple. "Mud" tends to look like a mix between a solid, dirt, and a liquid, water or some other liquid. Since it is, in fact, a cross between a solid and a liquid, it has properties of both. It has certain physical and visual properties that only a solid would have, such as texture and opaqueness, but it also has physical properties of a liquid. Since it leans more towards the liquid side than the solid side, we say mud "flows" rather than saying that it "rolls" or "bounces".

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

612 K

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Initial temperature (T₁) = 306 K

Initial pressure (P₁) = 150 kPa

Final pressure (P₂) = 300 kPa

Volume = 4 L = constant

Final temperature (T₂) =?

Since the volume is constant, the final (i.e the new) temperature of the gas can be obtained as follow:

P₁ / T₁ = P₂ / T₂

150 / 306 = 300 / T₂

Cross multiply

150 × T₂ = 306 × 300

150 × T₂ = 91800

Divide both side by 150

T₂ = 91800 / 150

T₂ = 612 K

Thus, the new temperature of the gas is 612 K

Relate the intermolecular forces in hydrocarbons to their physical properties and uses
DENIUS [597]

The physical properties of alkenes and alkynes are generally similar to those of alkanes or cycloalkanes with equal numbers of carbon atoms. Alkynes have higher boiling points than alkanes or alkenes, because the electric field of an alkyne, with its increased number of weakly held π electrons, is more easily distorted, producing stronger attractive forces between molecules.
