Define what chemical and radiant energy is

1 answer:

4 0

Radiant energy is energy contained in electromagnetic waves. These include visible light, infrared, radio waves, ultraviolet and microwaves. ... Chemical energy is energy stored in chemical bonds between atoms.

Photosynthesis is the transformation of radiant energy to chemical energy. Plants take in water, carbon dioxide, and sunlight and turn them into glucose and oxygen. Called photosynthesis, one of the results of this process is that carbon dioxide is removed from the air.

It is a scientific hypothesis. A scientific hypothesis must be testable, however there is a significantly more grounded necessity that a testable speculation must meet before it can truly be viewed as logical. This foundation comes essentially from crafted by the rationalist of science Karl Popper, and is called "falsifiability".

Why can a liquid change to take the shape of its container but NOT expand to fill the container itself?

tiny-mole [99]

Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Molecules in a liquid have less force of attraction as compared to solids. But liquid molecules have more force of attraction as compared to gases.

Since molecules of a gas are held together by weak Vander waal forces, therefore, they expand to fill the container whereas molecules in a liquid are not expanded in a container like gases because of more force of attraction within molecules of liquids as compared to gases.

Hence, a liquid can take the shape of container in which it is kept.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options, a liquid change to take the shape of its container but NOT expand to fill the container itself because the particles of a liquid are held together loosely enough to flow, but not so loose that they expand.

In Part III, the phenolphthalein indicator is used to monitor the equilibrium shifts of the ammonia/ammonium ion system. The phe

AnnZ [28]

The pink color in the solution fades. Some of the colored indicator ion converts to the colorless indicator molecule.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

What's the initial color of the solution?

$\text{NH}_4\text{Cl}$ is a salt soluble in water. $\text{NH}_4\text{Cl}$ dissociates into ions completely when dissolved.

$\text{NH}_4\text{Cl} \; (aq)\to {\text{NH}_4}^{+} \; (aq) +{\text{Cl}}^{-} \; (aq)$ .

The first test tube used to contain $\text{NH}_4\text{OH}$ . $\text{NH}_4\text{OH}$ is a weak base that dissociates partially in water.

$\text{NH}_4\text{OH} \; (aq) \rightleftharpoons {\text{NH}_4}^{+} \;(aq)+ {\text{OH}}^{-} \; (aq)$ .

There's also an equilibrium between $\text{OH}^{-}$ and ${\text{H}_3\text{O}}^{+}$ ions.

${\text{OH}}^{-}\;(aq) + {\text{H}_3\text{O}}^{+} \;(aq) \to 2\; \text{H}_2\text{O} \;(l)$ .

$\text{OH}^{-}$ ions from $\text{NH}_4\text{OH}$ will shift the equilibrium between $\text{OH}^{-}$ and ${\text{H}_3\text{O}}^{+}$ to the right and reduce the amount of ${\text{H}_3\text{O}}^{+}$ in the solution.

The indicator equilibrium will shift to the right to produce more ${\text{H}_3\text{O}}^{+}$ ions along with the colored indicator ions. The solution will show a pink color.

What's the color of the solution after adding NH₄Cl?

Adding $\text{NH}_4\text{Cl}$ will add to the concentration of ${\text{NH}_4}^{+}$ ions in the solution. Some of the ${\text{NH}_4}^{+}$ ions will combine with $\text{OH}^{-}$ ions to produce $\text{NH}_4\text{OH}$ .

The equilibrium between $\text{OH}^{-}$ and ${\text{H}_3\text{O}}^{+}$ ions will shift to the left to produce more of both ions.

${\text{OH}}^{-}\;(aq) + {\text{H}_3\text{O}}^{+} \;(aq) \to 2\; \text{H}_2\text{O} \;(l)$

The indicator equilibrium will shift to the left as the concentration of ${\text{H}_3\text{O}}^{+}$ increases. There will be less colored ions and more colorless molecules in the test tube. The pink color will fade.
