Answer:

The transfer of heat in fluids is called convection. Convection only occurs in substances that can flow from place to place which are known as fluids. Fluids are water and gases. Convection starts when molecules in a fluid begin to vibrate. The molecules in liquids and gases are more spread apart than in solids. As the molecules vibrate, they move farther apart from one another. The hotter fluid is lighter in density and rises. The cold fluid moves to fill the space at the bottom left by the rising hot fluid. The heated fluid cools as it rises and sinks back down to the bottom. The fluid heats, rises, cools, and falls in a circular motion. Over time, the entire fluid is heated to an even temperature.

A metal melts at 450 degrees celsius. Is this property of the metal classified as chemical or physical?

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

It's a physical property because it doesn't change the element of the metal.
does this make sense?

melamori03 [73]

Several factors affect the rate of a chemical reaction. From the options given factors that affect the rate are:
temperature and concentration of catalysts.
As the temperature increases, also the rate of the reaction increases.
The concentration of a catalysts helps a reaction to proceed more quickly to equilibrium.

8. If I have 34 grams of FeO, how many grams of Oxygen were synthesized? Fe + O2 → Feo

krek1111 [17]

Answer:

34 gram of FeO produced 8 gram of oxygen.

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of FeO = 34 g

Mass of oxygen = ?

Solution;

Chemical equation:

2FeO → 2Fe + O₂

Number of moles of FeO:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 34 g /71.8 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.5 mol

Now we will compare the moles of FeO with oxygen:

FeO : O₂

2 : 1

0.5 : 1/2 × 0.5 = 0.25

Mass of oxygen:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 0.25 mol × 32 g/mol

Mass = 8 g

So 34 gram of FeO produced 8 gram of oxygen.

The gas that a diver breathes must be maintained at a partial pressure of 0.20 atm of oxygen. More oxygen could poison the diver

Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer: The partial pressure of helium gas is 0.80 atm

Explanation:

Dalton's law of partial pressure states that the total pressure of the system is equal to the sum of partial pressure of each component present in it.

To calculate the partial pressure of helium gas, we use the law given by Dalton, which is:

$P_T=p_{He}+p_{O_2}$

We are given:

Total pressure of the cylinder, $P_T$ = 1.00 atm

Vapor pressure of oxygen gas, $p_{O_2}$ = 0.20 atm

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$1.00=p_{He}+0.20\\\\p_{He}=1.00-0.20=0.80atm$

Hence, the partial pressure of helium gas is 0.80 atm
