It has to be intensive, which means it does not depend on the amount of the substance. Boiling point, melting point, and density are three intensive physical properties.

Answer: Melting point.

Explanation:

The melting point of wax is very low which makes it suitable for making sculptures. It needs molding, cutting and melting of wax to make a sculpture.

such kind of modification in the wax is done by melting it at low temperature. More heat and effort is not required with wax as compared to other substances.

The wax cools down very easily after melting, it is hard when cools down and soft when heated to make the proper shape. All these properties makes the wax more suitable for making sculptures.

Which of the following statements is true?
Brut [27]
Generally in science and the natural world, when you break big things down into more pieces you increase disorder. In the natural universe the second law of thermodynamics tells us that disorder is increased in a closed system.  I would say c. fission releases more energy than fusion. because bringing things together requires work and consumes energy. breaking things apart releases energy.

Rank the following substances in order from most soluble in water to least soluble in water: ethane, C2H6; 2-butanol, C4H9OH; co
myrzilka [38]

Answer: CuSO4>2-butanol> C4H9OH>C2H6>C3H8

Explanation:

Ionic substances are highly soluble in water. CuSO4 is an ionic salt composed of Cu2+ and SO42- ions. These ions are solvated in water hence the salt easily dissolves in the surrounding water molecules. this accounts for the fact that it is the most soluble of the five substances in water. 2-butanol contains the -OH group which interacts with water by hydrogen bonding. This accounts for the miscibility of alkanols with water in all proportions. however, this solubility in water decreases as the alky backbone increases. hence C4H9OH is less soluble in water that 2-butanol. Alkanes are usually not quite soluble in water but again solubility decreases with increase in the alky backbone hence propane is less soluble in water than ethane.

What is the difference between relative humidity and humidity?
Paul [167]
Relative humidity tells you how much water vapor is in the area. Humidity is like a ratio of absolute humidity and the potential amount of water saturation that may be in an area.

In lipid bilayers, there is an order-to-disorder transition similar to the melting of a crystal. Comparing a lipid bilayer that
prisoha [69]

Answer:

The lipid bilayer made up of Palmitic acid will have a higher melting transition temperature

Explanation:

The one with a higher melting transition temperature is the lipid layer with a higher melting temperature

Melting temperature of palmitoleic acid = -0.5°C

Melting temperature of palmitic acid = 62.9°C

Hence the lipid bilayer made up of Palmitic acid will have a higher melting transition temperature

25 g of a compound is added to 500 mL of water if the freezing point of the resulting solution is
vlabodo [156]

Answer:

a)   119 g/mol

Explanation:

-We apply the formula for freezing point depression to obtain the molality of the solution:

\bigtriangleup T_f=K_fm, \  \ K_f=1.36\textdegree C/m\\\\\therefore m=\frac{\bigtriangleup T_f}{K_f}\\\\=\frac{0.57\textdegree C}{1.36\textdegree C}\\\\=0.4191\ mol/Kg\\\\

#We use the molality above to calculate the molar mass:

m=\frac{0.4191\ mol}{1\ Kg}=\frac{25\ g}{0.5\ Kg}\\\\\therefore 1 \ mol=\frac{25\ g}{0.5\ Kg}\times\frac{1\ Kg}{ 0.4191}\\\\=119.3033\approx 119\ g/mol

Hence, the molar mass of the compound is 119 g/mol
