An environmentally-conscious student is breaking the rings from a six-pack drink holder before disposing of it. This reduces the

potential for the six-pack ring to ensnare wildlife and cause ecological harm. In breaking the rings, the student notices that the plastic rings heat up. What argument supports that this is an exothermic chemical reaction?

Answer: seen below.

Explanation:

Firstly we need to remember what exothermic reaction is in thermodynamics. exothermic reaction describes a process or reaction that releases energy from the system to its surroundings, usually in the form of heat, but also in a form of light, sound, or electricity.

In this scenario, due to the heating up nature noticed by the ring during breaking shows that energy is being released to the surrounding in the form of heat which suggest it being an exothermic reaction.

What are the characteristics of a blackbody radiator? Give an example.
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

A blackbody, or Planckian radiator, is a cavity within a heated material from which heat cannot escape. No matter what the material, the walls of the cavity exhibit a characteristic spectral emission, which is a function of its temperature.

Example:

Emission from a blackbody is temperature dependent and at high temperature, a blackbody will emit a spectrum of photon energies that span the visible range, and therefore it will appear white. The Sun is an example of a high-temperature blackbody.

When a solid is in the process of changing into a liquid and extra energy is added to the system, the temperature does not chang
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

D. The temperature does not change during a phase change because the average kinetic energy does not change. Therefore, the potential energy in the bonds between molecules must change.

Explanation:

When there is a change of state (for example, from solid into a liquid, as in this example), when energy is added to the system, the temperature of the substance does not change.

The reason for this is that the energy supplied is no longer used to increase the average kinetic energy of the particle, but instead it is used to break the bonds between the different particles/molecules. For instance, since in this case the substance is changing from solid to liquid, all the energy supplied during the phase change is used to break the bonds between the molecules of the solid: when the process is done, all the molecules will be free to slide past each other, and the substance has turned completely into a liquid.

The bonds between molecules store potential energy: therefore, this means that the energy supplied during the phase change is not used to change the kinetic energy, but to change the potential energy in the bonds between the molecules.

A scientist reports a measurement of the temperature of the surface of a newly discovered planet as negative 20 Kelvin. What con
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

The temperature of this newly discovered planet violates the third law of thermodynamic, there is a mistake in this value.

Explanation:

The third law of the Thermodynamic says:

<u> At zero kelvin all molecular movement stops, which means that the entropy will be zero at this temperature.</u>

So we can say there is no thermodynamic system that has temperature values less than 0 K.

The conclusion of the report will be.

The temperature of this new planet violates the third law of thermodynamic, there is a mistake in this value.

I hope it helps you!
