A chemical engineer studying the properties of fuels placed 1.670 g of a hydrocarbon in the bomb of a calorimeter and filled it

with O2 gas. The bomb was immersed in 2.550 L of water and the reaction initiated. The water temperature rose from 20.00°C to 23.55°C. If the calorimeter (excluding the water) had a heat capacity of 403 J/K, what was the heat of reaction for combustion (qV) per gram of the fuel?

Answer:

856,68 J/gram

Explanation:

We know that the variaton of temperature of 1K is equal to 1°C

so if the ΔT is 3.55°C, it is 3.55K.

so

403 J - 1 K

x - 3.55K

X= 403 * 3.55 = 1430,65 J

1.670 g - 1430,65 J

1 g - y

y = \frac{1430,65}{1.670} = 856,68 J

Which of the following statements about material bonding is correct? C O a. Ionic bonds are formed by the sharing of valence ele
Zina [86]

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

In material bonding, there occurs Vander waal foces between the molecules in which their is either an induced or permanent dipole moment that attract molecules towards each other.

And, due to these forces the molecules are held together.

On the other hand, in a ionic bond there will always be transfer of electrons from one atom to another. This is because on atom which loses its valence electrons acquires a positive charge and another atom which gains the electrons acquires a negative charge.

Hence, these opposite charges strongly gets attracted towards each other forming a strong bond.

Whereas in a covalent bond, there will be sharing of electrons between the combining atoms.

In a metallic bond, there occurs a sea of electrons which is uniformly distributed throughout the solid substance or material.

Thus, we can conclude that the statement, Van der Waals bonds are formed by Van der Waals forces in which molecules or atoms have either an induced or permanent dipole moment to attract each other, about material bonding is correct.

What force opposes gravity and keeps objects from falling to the center of<br> the earth?
stiv31 [10]

La fuerza de la gravedad depende de la masa (el peso) de cada objeto. La fuerza con que se atraen dos objetos es proporcional a su masa y disminuye rápidamente en el momento en que los separamos. De hecho, nosotros también atraemos objetos con ‘nuestra’ fuerza gravitatoria, pero pesamos tan poco que no podemos percibirlo. En cambio, el Sol es tan grande que es capaz de mantenernos girando a su alrededor a pesar de estar muy lejos. La Luna también ejerce su propia fuerza gravitatoria, pero, como es más pequeña y ligera que la Tierra, si nos pesásemos sobre su superficie veríamos que pesamos unas seis veces menos que en la Tierra.

Podríamos preguntarnos por qué la Luna no cae sobre la Tierra al igual que una manzana cae del árbol. La razón es que nuestro satélite nunca está quieto. Se mueve constantemente a nuestro alrededor. Sin la fuerza de atracción terrestre, se alejaría flotando en el espacio. Gracias a esta combinación de velocidad y distancia de nuestro planeta, la Luna siempre está en equilibrio, ni cae ni se aleja. Si se moviera más rápido, se alejaría, si se moviera con más lentitud, ¡caería!

Hemos dicho que la fuerza de la gravedad también depende de la distancia. Si nos alejásemos lo suficiente de la Tierra, escaparíamos a su fuerza de atracción. Y eso es lo que tratamos de hacer con las naves espaciales. Necesitamos superar la llamada ‘velocidad de escape’, que es aproximadamente 11,2 km/s (a esa velocidad, podríamos viajar de Londres a Nueva York ¡en tan solo 10 minutos!). Cuando un cohete alcanza esa velocidad, ya es libre para viajar por el sistema solar.

Dentro de una nave en órbita, no sentimos la fuerza de la gravedad terrestre. Los objetos no caen, sino que flotan, así que si saltas, no regresas al suelo. Es lo que les ocurre a los astronautas cuando están a bordo de una estación espacial que orbita alrededor de la Tierra.

Water that flows back to the ocean is called
nordsb [41]

Surface runoff

Explanation:

The water that flows back to the streams and oceans are called surface runoff.

Surface runoff is a component of the water cycle usually composed of water in the liquid form that flows back into oceans that are nearby.

  • The hydrologic cycle shows the cyclic process by which water passes in nature.
  • Water passes through different forms, solid, liquid and gases.
  • Surface runoff is water usually after rainfall that flows rapidly.
  • They move to the final basin of deposition usually joining up with other water sources.
  • This can be nearby streams, lakes or oceans.
