describe how a physical property such as mass or Texture can change without causing a change in the substance

Chemistry

You have to be very careful with this question. A change in mass can also occur in chemical changes especially if you have too much of something. For example

CH4 + 1.5 02 ===> CO2 + H2O

If you have too much of either CH4 or O2, there will be some CH4 or O2 left over. There has been a change in mass that you have too much of.

However that is not the point of the question. It is just something you need to be aware of.

Suppose you have a piece of aluminum and you take a course grinder after it. You will change the texture of the side you took the grinder to. If the aluminum has been anodized (a color has been put on it's surface), you may grind the color off or if it is just plain aluminum, you may roughen the surface, but you won't change what the aluminum will do chemically.

You may need only a small portion of the aluminum and you grind off just what you need. That will change the mass of both what you took off and the piece that you want, but the aluminum will still do whatever chemical property you need to use.

So you can change both texture and mass without changing the chemical properties of the substance whose mass or texture you are changing.

A textbook measures 250 mm long, 225 mm wide and 50 mm thick. What is the volume of this book in mm3? What is the volume of this
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

2.81 × 10⁶ mm³

2.81 × 10⁻³ m³

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Length (l): 250 mm

Width (w): 225 mm

Thickness (t): 50 mm

Step 2: Calculate the volume of the textbook

The book is a cuboid so we can find its volume (V) using the following expression.

V = l × w × t = 250 mm × 225 mm × 50 mm = 2.81 × 10⁶ mm³

Step 3: Convert the volume to cubic meters

We will use the relationship 1 m³ = 10⁹ mm³.

2.81 × 10⁶ mm³ × 1 m³ / 10⁹ mm³ = 2.81 × 10⁻³ m³

Will sodium iodide react with bromine to produce sodium bromide and iodine? Why or why not?
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

The higher the period the higher the activity of an element, therefore, since iodine is in period 6 and bromine is in period 5, the described reaction is not possible due to the fact that bromine is less active

Who started sneakers
hodyreva [135]
In late 18th century, people wore rubber soled shoes called plimsolls, but they weren't the best sneakers. Around 1892, a US company named Keds started sneakers with a canvas top and rubber soles. By 1917, these were mass produced.
