Which burns faster, a large log or the same log cut into small sticks of wood?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Harlamova29_29 [7]3 years ago
8 0

Answer: Small sticks of wood would burn faster.

Explanation:

Rate of a reaction is the speed which a reaction takes place.

Rate of a reaction depends on the surface area of the particles. More is the surface area, more will the rate of reaction as more of the particles surface would be exposed for the reaction to occur.

Surface area is increased by decreasing the size of the particles.

Thus a large log will burn slower as compared to the same log cut into small sticks of wood as lesser area will be exposed to air and thus rate of burning will be slow.

A gas occupies a volume of 2.4 L at 14.1 kPa. What volume will the gas occupy at 84.6 kPa?
Naddik [55]

Answer:

  • <u>0.40 L</u>

Explanation:

Boyle's law for gases states that, at constant temperature, the volume and pressure of a fixed amount of gas are inversely related.

Mathematically, that is:

  • PV = constant

  • P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

Here, you have:

  • V₁ = 2.4 L
  • P₁ = 14.1 Kpa
  • P₂ = 84.6 KPa
  • V₂ = ?

Then, you can solve for V₂:

  • V₂ = P₁V₁ / P₂

Substitute and compute:

  • V₂ = 14.1 KPa × 2.4L / 84.6 KPa = 0.40 L ← answer

One atom of silicon can properly be combined in a compound with
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

C. two atoms of oxygen.

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Silicon has 14 electrons

Silicon is part of Group IV, all the elements there have 4 valence electrons.

It can form a compound when 4 valence electrons bind with the 4 valence elctrons of silicon

A. four atoms of calcium.

Calcium has 2 valence elctrons. 4 atoms of calcium <u>cannot bind</u> on 1 atom of silicon since there are only 4 valence electrons.

B. one atom of chlorine.

1 atom of chlorine has 7 valence electrons. Chlorine can bind with an atom with 1 valence electron. Since silicon has 4 valence electrons, they will <u>not bind.</u>

Silicon can bind with 4 atoms of chlorine to form SiCl4

C. two atoms of oxygen.

Oxygen has 6 valence electrons, this means oxygen can bind with an element with 2 valence electrons.

Since silicon has 4 valence electrons, it <u>can bind</u> with 2 atoms of oxygen to form SiO2 (silicon dioxide).

D. three atoms of hydrogen.

Hydrogen has 1 valence electron. 1 hydrogen atom can bind with an element that has 7 valence electrons.

Three atoms of hydrogen can bind with an element that has 5 valence electrons.

Silicon <u>will not</u> bind with 3 atoms of hydrogen ( but can bind with 4 atoms of hydrogen)
