Complete Question:
Theresa creates an experiment where she mixes two red-colored substances together in a container and observes the solution slowly changing from red to blue for the next eight minutes. The solution becomes completely blue after eight minutes. What does this represent about the type of change happening in the container?
Group of answer choices
A. A chemical change started immediately and finished at eight minutes.
B. A non-chemical change started immediately and finished at eight minutes.
C. A chemical change occurred at four minutes.
D. A non-chemical change occurred at four minutes.
Answer:
A. A chemical change started immediately and finished at eight minutes.
Explanation:
A chemical reaction can be defined as the chemical process which typically involves the reaction between two or more chemical elements (substances) to form a new compound, through the rearrangement of the ionic or molecular structure of each chemical element.
This ultimately implies that, a chemical reaction is a chemical change that immediately starts when two or more molecules of a chemical element (substance) known as reactants are combined together to form a new product (compound).
In this scenario, Theresa creates an experiment where she mixes two red-colored substances together in a container and observes the solution slowly changing from red to blue for the next eight minutes. The solution becomes completely blue after eight minutes. Thus, what this represent about the type of change happening in the container is that, a chemical change (from red to blue) started immediately and finished at eight minutes.
So, we have:
- molecular weight
- shape
- temperature
- kinetic energy
- mass
- density
Let's rule out the different options.
- molecular weight: Say you have a molecule of H2O. H2O can be a solid, liquid, or gas, but its molecular weight never changes throughout (It's still the same molecule, no matter what phase it is in). We can rule this out.
- shape: Let's pretend we have three identical closed containers, and we fill each one halfway with water, blocks of ice cubes, and water vapor. In the container with water, you will see that the water takes the shape of the container, but doesn't fill the entire container up. The ice cubes will stay ice cubes, assuming they don't melt, so they don't take the shape of the container. The vapor will fill up the entire container. Since all three are different, I would say yes, this could be a distinguishable feature.
- temperature: In general, I would say no, because every element/molecule has different boiling points and different vaporization points. So if you have a liquid at 5°C, you could also have a different element in solid form at 5°C. But if you're comparing a single type of molecule, it would have a boiling point and a vaporization point, so you <em>would</em> be able to tell between them.
- kinetic energy: Kinetic energy refers to how much movement there is in respect to each molecule. In solids, the molecules are packed tightly together and can't move very much, so they have lower kinetic energy. In liquids, they are less packed, but still restricted. And in gases, they can fly freely, so they will have much more kinetic energy than liquids or solids. This one's a yes.
- mass: No matter what form, there are still the same amount of molecules, and each molecule has the same mass as before. It won't change.
- density: Since the molecules are more spread out in gases, it will be less dense. Liquids will be more dense, and solids will have the greatest density. So, yes.
Conclusion: shape, kinetic energy, density, (and temperature if it's talking about a single type of molecule)
Answer:
Density can be useful in identifying substances. It is also a convenient property because it provides a link (or conversion factor) between the mass and the volume of a substance. Mass and volume are extensive (or extrinsic) properties of matter - they depend on amount.
Explanation:
Ν= c/λ
λ= 486 nm * ( 1 m / 1x10^9 nm) = 4.86 x10^-7 m
v= (3.00 x 10^8 m/s) / (4.86 x10^-7 m)
v= 6.1728395x 10^14 s^-1
= 6.14 x10^-14 Hz
