Not so. Dissolved gases trapped in the minerals provide the pressure for an explosive eruption.

The given statement is false.

As it is the dissolved gases, not the dissolved minerals, which are trapped in magma under tremendous pressure that provide the force for a volcanic eruption. The magma comprises dissolved gases that offers the driving force, which makes the majority of volcanic eruptions.

As magma reaches towards the surface and the pressure reduces, the gases get discharged from the liquid part of the magma and continue to move upward and finally get discharged into the atmosphere.

Our good friend and pseudo scientist, homer simpson, attempts to analyze 300 mg of an unknown compound containing only c and h b

iragen [17]

$C_{x}H_{y} + O_{2} --\ \textgreater \ x CO_{2} + \frac{y}{2} H{2}O

540mg H_{2}O* \frac{1 mmol H_{2}O}{18 mg H_{2}O} =30 mmol H_{2}O

\\ \\30 mmolH_{2}O -have - 60 mmol H
\\ \\ 60 mmol H* \frac{1mg H}{1 mmol H} =60 mg H
\\ \\300mg C_{x}H_{y} - 60 mg H= 240 mg C
\\ \\ 240 mgC* \frac{1mmol}{12mg} =20 mmol C

20 mmol C: 60 mmol H=1 mol C : 3 mol H

Physical science!!! please help

IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

The correct answer is : No, because there are 4 hydrogen atoms on the reactants side and 2 on the products side.

Explanation:

$NH_4NO_3\rightarrow N_2O+H_2O$

The given reaction equation is not balanced because:

Number of hydrogen atoms on both sides are not equal that is 4 on reactants side and 2 on products side.
Number of oxygen atoms on both sides are not equal that is 3 on reactants side and 2 on products side.

In a balanced chemical equation number of atoms of each elements are equal on both sides.

So, the balanced chemical equation will be:

$NH_4NO_3\rightarrow N_2O+2H_2O$

Which one of the following represents a decrease in entropy?

Leni [432]

Answer:

Explanation:

There are principally three states of matter. These are the solid, liquid and gaseous states. The gaseous state has the highest degree of disorderliness as gas particles can move randomly while the solid state has the highest level of compactness.

Hence, we need to be adequately fed with information as regards the phase change to know if entropy has decreased or increased.

A. is wrong

Evaporation is a change of state to the gaseous state meaning there is an increased entropy.

B. is wrong

Sublimation is a change of state which means a solid substance like iodine or naphthalene changes its state directly to the gaseous state. There is an increased entropy here too.

C is wrong

Melting of ice means going from ice block to liquid water. This is synonymous to going from the solid state to the liquid state which is an increased entropy

D is correct

Condensation involves going from the gaseous state to the liquid state. This means going from a less ordered state to a more ordered state. This is accompanied by an entropy decrease.

E is wrong

While there are some processes that increase entropy, we also have some process that decrease entropy.

What are the sign and magnitude of the charge of atom containing 14 protons, 15 neutrons, and 12 electrons?

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

<span>We know that protons gives positive charge, neutrons no charge and electrons negative, then +14 - 12 = +2 So the charge of the atom is sign positive and magnitude 2</span>

Can someone please help with this-

Nonamiya [84]

Ignition wires make it more accurate because it will cook it faster
stirrer would have the less results of fast
a sealed bomb may cook it fast but you would have to be careful and don't mess up
