Why is melting a physical property of the wax, but flammability is a chemical property?

Chemistry

Melting is a physical property and a physical change to wax. We know this because although the wax might melt, it will resolidify into its original form. Flammability, however, is a chemical change because the act of burning involves a chemical reaction between the gases in the air and heat, which cannot be reversed.

Explain the principle upon which separation is achieved in a distillation column.
aalyn [17]

Answer:

The fundamental principle involves the formation of equilibrium and separation into distillate and bottoms governed by the equilibrium composition curve , number of stages and the purity with which the distillate is required.

Explanation:

Distillation is a type of the separation process by physical means of a mixture on basis of its difference in boiling point or vapor pressure .  

Where we can just heat the mixture and separate out the components i.e the component with lower boiling point will form vapor easily and can be later condensed whereas the component with higher boiling point will remain as residue.

In case of a distillation column the same principle is applied at different stages to separate multiple components .The stages are known as trays or plates . In general , there is a certain liquid on each of the plate, and the arrangements are made for the ascending vapors to pass through the liquid and make contact with it . The fundamental principle involves the formation of equilibrium and separation into distillate and bottoms governed by the equilibrium composition curve , number of stages and the purity with which the distillate is required.

By what factor would the average kinetic energy of the particles by increased if the temperature of a substance was increased fr
natita [175]
Average kinetic energy of a particle :
0.5 mv^2 = kT/2
so the kinetic energy = kT/2
assuming the same value of K
T1 = -49 + 273 = 224
T2 = 287 + 273 = 560

E2 / E1 = kT2 / 2 / kT1 / 2
E2 / E1 = T2 / T1
E2 / E1 = 560 / 224 = 2.5
so the average kinetic energy of the particle increases by 2.5
