The copper wire was sanded before burning in order to make sure that copper metal was exposed on the surface of the wire.

Answer: B

Explanation

The copper wire when placed in atmosphere without coating leads to oxidation of copper metal with respect to the impurities present in the atmosphere.

As copper is electropositive in nature, so electronegative ions present in the universe will try to react with copper and the copper will react easily with other elements.

So generally copper wire is coated with color or polymer coating.

In this case, the copper wire without any coating is sanded, so that the eddy sheets or polishing materials on friction with copper wire will remove the impurities by the electrostatic law of conservation of charges and charge transfer.

As the impurities are removed when copper wire is sanded, the copper atoms will be exposed on the surface of the wire leading to burning of copper in the copper wire.

A rectangular prism of volume 84 cm 3 has a mass of 760 g. What is the density of the rectangular prism? 5.8 g•cm 3 9.0 g/cm 3 6
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

9.0 g/cm³

Explanation:

Density can be computed with the formula:

D=\dfrac{M}{V}

Where:

D = Density

M = Mass

V = Volume

In your problem we are given:

84 cm³ = volume

760 g = mass

So we just plug in our given into the formula:

D=\dfrac{M}{V}

D=\dfrac{760g}{84cm^{3}}

D=9.05g/cm^{3}

The answer would then be:

9.0 g/cm³

There are 0.3 moles of xenon gas in a 0.5-liter container at 30 degrees C. What is the pressure exerted by the xenon gas
Kaylis [27]
PV = nRT
P = (nRT)/V
P = (0.3 mol × 0.08206 atm-l/(mol-K) × (273.15 + 30) K)/(0.5 l)
P = 14.9258934 atm

O que são processos físicos de separação das misturas? Dê 3 exemplos
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The physical methods of separating mixtures are used in sorting a mixture of substances.

It requires no chemical changes occurring between their components and parts in any significant way.

Examples are:

  1. Decantation
  2. Filtration
  3. Sublimation
  4. Magnetism
  5. Centrifugation

The methods simply relies on the physical properties of matter.
