Burt's mother asked him to use a spoon to stir the stew that was cooking on the stove. Which spoon will stay the coolest while h

e stirs and why?
Question 9 options:

An aluminum spoon because it can only be heated by radiation.


An iron spoon because it is a strong conductor of heat.


A wooden spoon because it is an insulator.


A silver spoon because it is an insulator.

Metals are good conductors of heat and electricity

Metals are good conductors due to presence of free electrons

They act as carrier to conduct heat or electricity.

So

Aluminum spoon will heat up as it is of metal

Iron spoon will heat up as it is of metal

Silver spoon will also heat up as it is of metal

Wood is a bad conductor of heat. It is an insulator

Wood has air space or pockets in its structure which makes it a bad conductor (it cannot conduct heat)

So a wooden spoon will be stay coolest as it is an insulator

A decomposition reaction has a half life of 578 years. (a) What is the rate constant for this reaction? (b) How many years does
maw [93]

Answer:

0.001199 year^{-1} is the rate constant for this reaction.

It will take 1.73\times 10^3 years to concentration to reach 12.5% of its original value.

Explanation:

A decomposition reaction follows first order kinetics:

Half life of the reaction = t_{1/2}=578 years

Rate constant of the reaction = k

For first order reaction, half life and rate constant are linked with an expression :

k=\frac{0.693}{t_{1/2}}

k=\frac{0.693}{578 years}=0.001199 year^{-1}

0.001199 year^{-1} is the rate constant for this reaction.

Initial concentration of reactant =[A_o] =  x

Final concentration of reactant after time t =[A] =  12.5% of x = 0.125x

The integrated law of first order reaction :

[A]=[A_o]\times e^{-kt}

0.125x=x\times e^{-0.001199 year^{-1}\times t}

t = 1,734.31 years =1.73\times 10^3 years

It will take 1.73\times 10^3 years to concentration to reach 12.5% of its original value.

If 15 grams of Carbon dioxide is produced in a chemical reaction, how many grams of Carbon must be consumed in the reaction if w
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

Quantity of Carbon is 4.09 gm

Explanation:

Equation of carbon reacting with oxygen to give carbon dioxide is given by

C + O_{2} ⇒ CO_{2}

One mole of carbon reacts with one mole of Oxygen in this reaction to give One mole of Carbon dioxide.

So, 12 gm of carbon reacts with 32 gm of Oxygen in this reaction to give 44 gm of carbon dioxide.

15 gm of CO_{2} was formed in this reaction

Oxygen used in this reaction = \frac{15}{44}×32 = 10.91 gm ,

Thus Oxygen is in sufficient quantity in the reaction.

Now,

Carbon that must be used = \frac{15}{44}×12  = 4.09 gm.

A scientist mixes water (containing no salt) with a solution that contains 45% salt. she wants to obtain 180 ounces of a mixture
mixer [17]
Solution contains 45% salt
She wants to obtain 180 ounces of a mixture that is 30% salt
Ounces of water with 45% salt solution = ?
30% = 0.3 and 45% = 0.45
Let V is the volume of water to be mixed in ounces, then the volume of the 45% salt solution needed is 180-V
The balanced equation for the mass of salt is
0.45 x (180-V) = 0.3 x 180
81 – 0.45V = 54
0.45V = 81-54
0.45V = 27
V = 60
<span>So, 60 ounces of water is needed</span>

What are the conditions for evaporation?
SashulF [63]

Answer:

For evaporation you need a warm, preferably humid temperature. The rate of evaporation increases with an increase in temperature. A windy climate is best, as wind helps to remove the evaporated water vapour, and therefore creating a better scope for evaporation to continue. The speed of wind is important for evaporation because the wind pulls in dry air, increasing the rate of evaporation.

Short Answer- Hot and humid temperature, lots of wind speed.
