Answer:

The extent of a glacier is maintained by glacier budget. It is a balance between the amount of ice accumulate or lost from the glacier by ablation. The ablation can occur because of factors like melting, sublimation and breaking of ice.

Therefore, the situation which allows a glacier's size to be maintained is the amount of snow accumulates to the amount of snow undergone with wasting or loss.

The temperature of 15.71 grams of gold rises from 32°C to 1,064°C, and then the gold melts completely. If gold’s specific heat i

antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:Total energy gained by 15.71 g is 3090.6471 joules

Explanation:

Given:

Q = heat gained by the 15.71 gram mass of gold

$Q=mc\Delta T +m\Delta H_{fusion}$

$\Delta T=(T_{final}-T_{initial})=(1064^oC-32^oC)=1032^oC$

c = specific heat capacity of gold = 0.1291 $joules/gram^oC$

m = mass of gold =15.71 g

$Q=15.71 g\times 0.1291 joules/gram^oC (1032^oC) +15.71 g\times 63.5 Joules/gram$

Heat gained by gold = $2093.0621 Joules + 997.585 Joules$

=3090.6471 joules

Why does the reactivity of nonmetals increase moving left to right on the periodic table?

zhuklara [117]

Answer: This is because the number of shell increases .

Explanation: On moving from left to write on the periodic table the reactivity of non metals increases because number of shells increases and the force with which the nucleus hold electrons decreases.
