Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

It is known that in gases, molecules are held by weak Vander waal forces. As a result, they move far apart from each other and attain high kinetic energy.

This causes more number of collisions between the molecules of a gas.

On the other hand, in a solid substance molecules are much more closer to each other because of strong intermolecular forces of attraction. This causes the solids to have least kinetic energy and definite shape and volume.

Hence, we can conclude that the statement molecules in a gas move faster than in a solid, best explains why water vapor has more energy than a block of ice.

AlexFokin [52]

Answer is: the amu of a sodium atom is 23.

The unified atomic mass unit (amu) is a standard unit of atom mass.

One unified atomic mass unit is approximately the mass of one nucleon (proton or neutron).

The unified atomic mass unit is equal 1.66·10⁻²⁷ kg.

n(p⁺) = 11; number of protons in sodium atom.

n(n°) = 12; number of neutrons of sodium atom.

n(p⁺ + n°) = 11 + 12.

n(p⁺ + n°) = 23; number of nucleons in sodium atom.

6.02 kJ>mol. When a small ice cube at -10°C is put into a cup of water at room temperature, which of the following plays a gr

9966 [12]

Answer:

Heat transfer during melting of ice plays greater role in cooling of liquid water.

Explanation:

Temperature of ice = -10 °c

Temperature of water = 0 °c

When ice cube is dipped in to the water.the heat transfer

Q = m c ΔT

⇒ Q = 1 × 2.01 × 10

⇒ Q = 20.1 KJ

Heat transfer during melting of ice $Q_{melt}$ = latent heat of ice

Latent heat of ice = 334 KJ

⇒ $Q_{melt}$ = 334 KJ

Heat transfer during melting of ice is greater value than heat transfer during warming of ice from -10°C to 0°C.

Thus heat transfer during melting of ice plays greater role in cooling of liquid water.
