the particles of solids move but very slowly.
the particles of liquids move moderately fast
the particles of gas move very fast.
The reasons for this movement is the space the particles are together. Since there is not move space between solids, the particles move slowly, water there is moderate space, and air there is a lot of space.
Answer:
Explanation:
Efficiency of the electric power plant is 
Here Temperature of hot source 
and Temperature of sink 
Hence the efficiency is
Now another formula for thermal efficiency Is

Here QI is the of heat taken from source 100 MJ ; Q2 of heat transferred to the sink (river) to be found
W is the of work done and W = QI -Q2
Hence From

Hence the of heat transferred to the river Is 
Answer:
They are 1.204×10^24 atoms of hydrogen present in 18 grams of water. In order to calculate this,it is necessary to compute the number of hydrogen moles present in the sample.
Answer:
20703.6J
Explanation:
Quantity of heat (Q) = mass of dioxane × enthalpy of fusion
Mass of dioxane = 142g
Enthalpy of fusion of dioxane = 145.8J/g
Q = 142g × 145.8J/g = 20703.6J
Answer:
Explanation:
Chemical potential energy is the chemical energy stored (or property) of a substance. One chemical potential energy of wood is combustion. Combustion involves the burning of a substance in excess oxygen (in this case open air). <u>The chemical energy stored here is transformed to thermal/heat energy after combustion due to the large amount of heat evolved/produced</u>.
NOTE:
The model above also that combustion is an exothermic reaction because it involves the release of heat into it's surrounding.
