Define "Dielectric" and list the Dielectric Constant values for vacuum and water

Chemistry
1 answer:
CaHeK987 [17]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The term dielectric makes reference to materials that are insulators (the charges in the material does not flow freely and for this reason an insulator material cannot conduce electricity). BUT if we applied this material in an electric field they can be polarized.

Dielectric Constant: It is also defined as a relative permittivity and it is the amount of charge required to produce one unit of electric flux( electric field in a surface)  in a given medium.

it is typically denoted as Epsilon (ε)

and its formula is: ε = ε(ω) /ε(0)

where:

ε(ω) = the frequency-dependent permittivity of the material

ε(0) = the dielectric constant value in vacuum

Dielectric Constant values:

  • For vacuum is always 1
  • for water depending on the temperature can be 87.9 at 0º C, 80.2 at 20º C and 55.5 at 100º C.

Answer:

Saturn. Saturn is the sixth planet from the Sun and the second-largest in the Solar System, after Jupiter. It is a gas giant with an average radius of about nine times that of Earth. It only has one-eighth the average density of Earth; however, with its larger volume, Saturn is over 95 times more massive.

What effect does thermal energy have on the rate of chemical reactions?
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

The temperature, however, greatly affects the rate of a chemical reaction. As you heat a substance, its molecules move faster and are more likely to react. Some reactants even require some heat to initiate a reaction. Reaction Rates and Temperature

Analyse the temperature versus time graph of water, given below.
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

Phase C - Liquid State

Phase E - Gaseous State

Explanation:

Usually, in phases of water, we have the following;

When temperature is less than zero, it is said to be in its solid phase as ice.

When temperature is between 0 to 100, we can say it is in the liquid phase as water.

When temperature is above 100°C, It is said to be in the gaseous phase as vapour.

From the diagram;

Phase C is the only liquid state because it falls between temperature of 0°C and 100°

Also, only phase E is in the gaseous phase because the temperature is above 100°C.
