Explain using the particles theory what happens when steam in the bathroom hits a cold surface such as a mirror

1 answer:

5 0

<span>The fog in the mirror is the condensation of water vapor as it touches a colder surface. When you are running cold water you just cool down everything around it. Now the vapor coming from the hot shower will mostly condense right there and will not reach the mirror.</span>

How much energy is required to raise the temperature of 10.6 grams of gaseous neon from

Alona [7]

Answer:

Approximately $1.95 \times 10^{2}\; \rm J$ .

Explanation:

Look up the specific heat of gaseous neon:

$c = 1.03 \; \rm J \cdot g^{-1} \cdot K^{-1}$ .

Calculate the required temperature change:

$\Delta T = (37.9 - 20.0)\; \rm K = 17.9\; \rm K$ .

Let $m$ denote the mass of a sample of specific heat $C$ . Energy required to raise the temperature of this sample by $\Delta T$ :

$Q = c \cdot m \cdot \Delta T$ .

For the neon gas in this question:

$c = 1.03\; \rm J \cdot g^{-1}\cdot K^{-1}$ .
$m = 10.6\; \rm g$ .
$\Delta T = (37.9 - 20.0)\; \rm K = 17.9\; \rm K$ .

Calculate the energy associated with this temperature change:

$\begin{aligned}Q &= c \cdot m \cdot \Delta T \\ &= 1.03\; \rm J \cdot g^{-1}\cdot K^{-1} \times 10.6\; \rm g \times 17.9\; \rm K \\ &\approx 1.95 \times 10^{2}\; \rm J\end{aligned}$ .

A 2.04 g lead weight, initially at 10.8 oC, is submerged in 7.62 g of water at 52.3 oC in an insulated container. clear = 0.128

alisha [4.7K]

Answer: The final temperature of both the weight and the water at thermal equilibrium is $50.26^{o}C$ .

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

mass = 7.62 g, $T_{2} = 10.8^{o}C$

Let us assume that T be the final temperature. Therefore, heat lost by water is calculated as follows.

q = $mC \times \Delta T$

= $7.62 g \times 4.184 J/^{o}C \times (52.3 - T)$

Now, heat gained by lead will be calculated as follows.

q = $mC \times \text{Temperature change of lead}$

= $2.04 \times 0.128 \times (T - 11.0)$

According to the given situation,

Heat lost = Heat gained

$7.62 g \times 4.184 J/^{o}C \times (52.3 - T)$ = $2.04 \times 0.128 \times (T - 11.0)$

T = $50.26^{o}C$

Thus, we can conclude that the final temperature of both the weight and the water at thermal equilibrium is $50.26^{o}C$ .

1. Which combinations of substances resulted in a chemical change?(no answer choices)

Lunna [17]

All chemical reaction between substances results into a chemical change. When two substances just like HCL and NaOH reacts with each other, NaCl means Sodium Chloride salt is formed.

The phenomenon like change in color, change in temperature, release of gas etc when happens ,then it means chemical change has been occurred. e.g

HCl +NaOH ----> NaCl +H2O.

Which reaction is capable of breaking polypeptides into their component amino acids?

Bad White [126]

Answer: B. Hydrolysis (adding water)

Explanation:

When peptide bonds join two or more amino acids together, this is refered to as a peptide. A polypeptide simply means several amino acids. We should also note that proteins contains polypeptides.

The reaction that is capable of breaking polypeptides into their component amino acids is hydrolysis. This simply means a chemical process whereby a water molecule is being added to a particular substance.
