Answer:

$KNO_3 (aq)$

Explanation:

Potassium nitrate is a soluble salt which readily dissolves in a polar solvent, such as water. When solid potassium nitrate is dissolved in water, it dissociates into potassium cations and nitrate anions.

Due to the resultant ionic charges, the polar water molecules attract the resultant ions and potassium nitrate ions become hydrated, that is, surrounded by water molecules.

Nitrate, our anion, attracts the partially positive ends of water molecules by attracting them via hydrogen atom.

Potassium, the cation, attracts the partially negative end of water molecules by attracting via oxygen atom.

Barbara is conducting an experiment to observe heat flow. She places one piece of metal in a freezer at -18 degrees Celsius (°C)

yulyashka [42]

Answer: The correct answer is heat will flow from the boiling water into the frozen metal.

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of energy, energy cannot be destroyed nor created but it can be transformed from 1 form to another form.

There are 3 processes of heat transfer:

Conduction: This type of heat transfer occurs when there is direct contact between the two objects.
Convection: This type of heat transfer occurs when there is a movement of fluid (liquid or gas) due to the movement of hot layers to the top and cold layers to the bottom which leads to convection currents.
Radiation: This type of heat transfer occurs when there is a direct transfer of energy through space.

The heat moves from a hot surface to a cold surface to maintain equilibrium.

We are given:

A metal is placed in a freezer (cold object) and another metal is placed in an oven (hot object) and then both the metals are placed in boiling water.

Initially, the heat will flow from the boiling water (hot object) into the frozen metal (cold object) to maintain equilibrium

Hence, the correct answer is heat will flow from the boiling water into the frozen metal.

Consider melting ice cream. When it melts, it takes heat away from the environment and so the reaction is endothermic. When you

ANEK [815]

Hi!

First of all, the melting of ice cream is not a chemical reaction, because there is no change in the components of the ice cream and if you freeze the ice cream again, you will get the same ice cream that you had previously.

The melting of ice cream is an example of a physical change, in which a substance goes from solid to liquid state, and it is an endothermic physical change.

When you freeze ice cream, the heat is removed from the ice cream, making it an exothermic process, when heat is liberated to the environment and it's taken away from the substance, in this case, the ice cream.

Describe the electronic structure of halogen how it changeS down the group

svlad2 [7]

The reactivities of the halogens decrease down the group ( At < I < Br < Cl < F). This is due to the fact that atomic radius increases in size with an increase of electronic energy levels. This lessens the attraction for valence electrons of other atoms, decreasing reactivity.
