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.

What is the mass of an object that has a density of 0.500 g/cm3 and a volume of 5.00 mL?

attashe74 [19]

Answer:

<h2>The answer is 2.5 g</h2>

Explanation:

The mass of a substance when given the density and volume can be found by using the formula

<h3>mass = Density × volume</h3>

From the question

density = 0.5 g/cm³

1 mL = 1 cm³

5 mL = 5 cm³

volume = 5 cm³

The mass is

mass = 0.5 × 5

We have the final answer as

An atom holds 7 electrons. use orbital notation to model the probable location of its electrons.

zheka24 [161]

Answers:

(a) 1s² 2s²2p³; (b) 1s² 2s²2p⁶ 3s²3p⁶ 4s²3d²; (c) 1s² 2s²2p⁶ 3s²3p⁵

Step-by-step explanation:

One way to solve this problem is to add electrons to the orbitals one-by-one until you have added the required amount.

Fill the subshells in the order listed in the diagram below. Remember that an s subshell can hold two electrons, while a p subshell can hold six, and a d subshell can hold ten.

(a) <em>Seven electrons </em>

1s² 2s²2p³

There are two electrons in the 2s subshell and three in the 2p subshell. The remaining two electrons are in the inner 1s subshell.

(b) <em>22 electrons </em>

1s² 2s²2p⁶ 3s²3p⁶ 4s²3d²

There are two electrons in the 4s subshell and two in the 2p subshell. The remaining 18 electrons are in the inner subshells.

(c) <em>17 electrons</em>

1s² 2s²2p⁶ 3s²3p⁵

There are two electrons in the 3s subshell and five in the 2p subshell. The remaining 10 electrons are in the inner subshells.

The solubility of magnesium phosphate at a given temperature is 0.173 g/L. Calculate the Ksp at this temperature. After you calc

jek_recluse [69]

Answer: $K_{sp}=1.25\times 10^{-14}$

$pK_{sp}=13.90$

Explanation:

Solubility product is defined as the equilibrium constant in which a solid ionic compound is dissolved to produce its ions in solution. It is represented as $K_{sp}$

The equation for the ionization of magnesium phosphate is given as:

$Mg_3(PO_4)_2\rightarrow 3Mg^{2+}+2PO_4^{3-}$

When the solubility of $Mg_3(PO_4)_2$ is S moles/liter, then the solubility of $Mg^{2+}$ will be 3S moles\liter and solubility of $PO_4^{3-}$ will be 2S moles/liter.

Thus S = 0.173 g/L or $\frac{0.173g/L}{262.8g/mol}=0.00065mol/L$

$K_{sp}=(3S)^3\times (2S)^2$

$K_{sp}=108S^5$

$K_{sp}=108\times (0.00065)^5=1.25\times 10^{-14}$

$pK_{sp}=-log(K_{sp})=\log (1.25\times 10^{-14})=13.90$
