Answer – Volume’s proportionality to temperature is direct.

Explanation-

As we know density is the mass of an object per unit volume of that object it depends on the volume and we also know that volume is dependent directly on temperature does. When temperature of something increases, then the volume of that object also increases. Because on heating the molecules start moving faster and faster movement of molecules need more space.

Hence the opposite happens when temperature decreases the volume and volume being inversely proportional to density causes and the density to increase in kinetic energy.

This is because temperatures determine the kinetic energy of molecules of a substance, At lower temperatures the molecules have low kinetic energy hence the distance between molecules is not as large as when the kinetic energy is higher (because the molecules bombard less and with less kinetic energy). This means the substance can pack more molecules per volume at lower temperatures. The more the molecules per volume the higher the density.

Here's what I get  

Explanation:

It means that the heat comes directly at you without relying  on any material to conduct it.

For example, you feel the heat from a campfire even if the wind is blowing crosswise to you and the fire.

Which type of reaction?
polet [3.4K]
condensation polymerization, since a byproduct of the reaction is a single molecule of water (hence condensation of water)

addition polymerization is if you add the two polymers together like blocks and should have no byproducts

esterification is when you combine an organic acid with an alcohol. Since neither of the two polymers look like acids, you can rule this out.

never heard of saponification, Im an mechanical engineer not an organic chemist

When solid magnesium burns, it reacts with oxygen in the air to form a powder called magnesium oxide. A chemist performed this r
siniylev [52]

Answer:

A. The increase in the mass of the magnesium oxide was due to oxygen atoms in the air.

Explanation:

Burning occurs in the presence of oxygen. A chemical combination occurs between Mg and O in that the atom of magnesium attracts one another.

          Mg + O₂ → MgO

Starting with the magnesium, on reacting with oxygen a new compound forms. This is why there is mass increase in the MgO compared to the starting material.
