Answer:

A: The transfer of heat by currents.

Explanation:

Convection is the transfer of heat by currents, typically within a liquid or a gas. When heat is transferred by convection, matter flows.

Answer: A. the transfer of heat by currents

Explanation: There are three modes of heat transfer:

1) Conduction: This type of heat transfer happens when there is direct contact between the two object.  Example: heating a pan on stove.

2) Convection: This type of heat transfer happens 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. Example: Heating of swimming pool.

3) Radiation: This type of heat transfer happens when there is direct transfer of energy through space. Example: Heating of earth's surface.

B. The transmission of heat across matter is conduction.

C. The electromagnetic radiation from the surface of an object which is due to the object's temperature is radiation.

D. The transmission of heat across empty space is radiation.

When a reaction system is at equilibrium: a. there is no more chemistry happening. b. the amounts of reactants and products are
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer: Option (e) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Equilibrium is defined as the state of a chemical reaction in which the rate of forward reaction is equal to the rate of backward reaction.

The state of equilibrium is represented by a double sided arrow as "\rightleftharpoons" in a chemical equation.

For example, H_{2}O(l) \rightleftharpoons H^{+}(aq) + OH^{-}

Therefore, we can conclude that when a reaction system is at equilibrium then the rates of the reaction in the forward and reverse directions are exactly equal.

At 1 atm, how much energy is required to heat 39.0 g of h2o(s at –24.0 °c to h2o(g at 121.0 °c?
earnstyle [38]
Q = mcΔt, q = energy [J] m = mass (of water) [g]; c = specific heat capacity of water [J g⁻¹ K⁻¹/°C⁻¹]; Δt = change in temperature [K/°C]
Δt = 121 - -24 = 145
q = 39 × 4.18 × 145
q = 23637.9 J

A tropical climate is a wet climate. Consider a city like Bogota, Colombia which has a tropical climate. Does a tropical climate
dlinn [17]

Answer:

No, It will mean lot of rains but not every day

Explanation:

In wet tropical climates, the high clouds trap a lot of heat while balancing incoming and outgoing heat energy. When the number of heat trapping cloud remains very low, then the unstable cool air above the clouds cause lot of rain.

Hence, there will rain frequently but no everyday
