Is dissolving a solid a physical or chemical change

1 answer:

Dissolving a solid in liquid is a physical change . For eg table salt in water is a physical change because only the state of the matter has changed. Allowing the water to evaporate will return the salt to a solid state. Thus, dissolving a solid is a physical change.

A car is traveling 83.3 kilometers per hour. What is its speed in miles per minute? One kilometer = 0.62 miles.

Leya [2.2K]

Hi. 2fouls! :)

First convert the number from kilometer to miles:
$83.3*0.62$
$=51.646 miles$

Now to find the miles per minutes,divide the miles per hours by 60 (the amount of minutes in an hour.)

$51.646/60$
$=0.860766667$

The car is travelling at a speed of 0.860766667 miles/minute.

Hope this helps.

Consider a bathtub filled with water, with a plug in the drain. How long would this be considered a closed system?

Monica [59]

For a closed system, you need two things:
1) a conservation of mass within the boundaries of the system
2) the ability to freely exchange energy to & from the "closed" system with a surrounding external system

So, the answer is <u><em>never</em></u>, since your defining the "system" as the water within the bathtub, and an open bathtub is exposed to evaporation, which is not conserving mass within the defined "system".
