Explain how thermal energy is transferred through convection.

Chemistry

Elza [17]3 years ago

Convection is heat transfer by mass motion of a fluid such as air or water when the heated fluid is caused to move away from the source of heat, carrying energy with it. Convection above a hot surface occurs because hot air expands, becomes less dense, and rises (see Ideal Gas Law).

What characteristics of sodium and chlorine atoms allow them to form the stable compound sodium chloride, Also known as table sa
katrin2010 [14]
Atoms 'like' to have 8 valence electrones. sodium has one electron 'in excess' and chlorine 'lacks' in one. so they just exchange :) both are happy. then the ionic bond is formed because chlorine is now charged negative (additional electron) and sodium is charged positive (gave up one electrone) - the opposite charges cause electrostatic pull. many atoms, many bonds and thats how salt is built.

Why elements are arranged according to atomic number rather than atomic mass in the periodic table
Rama09 [41]

Answer:

Mendeleev placed certain elements not in order of increasing atomic mass so that they could fit into the proper groups (similar elements have similar properties) of his periodic table.

Which of the following is least likely to increase the rate of diffusion?A small concentration gradientB higher concentration of
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Rate of diffusion is defined as the total movement of molecules from a region of higher concentration to lower concentration.

The interaction between medium and the material is responsible for the rate of diffusion of a material or substance.

A small concentration gradient means small difference in the number of molecules taking part in a reaction. So, when there no large difference between the concentration then there won't be much difference in the rate of diffusion of a material.

Whereas a higher concentration of molecules will lead to more number of collisions due to which frequency of molecules increases. Therefore, rate of diffusion will also increase.

Small molecule size will also lead to increases in rate of diffusion. This is because according to Graham's law rate of diffusion is inversely proportional to molar mass of an element. Hence, smaller size molecule will have smaller mass. As a result, rate of diffusion will be more.

High temperature means more kinetic energy of molecules due to which more number of collisions will be there. Hence, rate of diffusion will also increase.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options a small concentration gradient  is least likely to increase the rate of diffusion.

In an experiment, 2.54 grams of copper completely reacts with sulfur, producing 3.18 grams of copper(I). Determine the total mas
jeka57 [31]
3.18 grams of product (Cu I) - 2.54 grams of Cu (reactant) = .64 grams of Sulfur, by law of conservation of mass.
