Paul has different spoons for cooking. He told Sue that he likes to stir hot food with a wooden spoon because it does not burn h

is hand. Sue disagreed. She said that there was no difference between wooden and metal spoons.
Was Sue right? Explain.

Answer:

Sue was not right as wood is not a heat conductor and will not allow heat to pass through the spoon thus keeping the hand safe. In a meatal spoon, heat can pass through and burn the hand as meatal is a good conductor of heat.

<u>Answer:</u> The tree was burned 16846.4 years ago to make the ancient charcoal

<u>Explanation:</u>

The equation used to calculate rate constant from given half life for first order kinetics:

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

where,

t_{1/2} = half life of the reaction = 5715 years

Putting values in above equation, we get:

k=\frac{0.693}{5715yrs}=1.21\times 10^{-4}yrs^{-1}

Rate law expression for first order kinetics is given by the equation:

k=\frac{2.303}{t}\log\frac{[A_o]}{[A]}

where,

k = rate constant  = 1.21\times 10^{-4}yr^{-1}

t = time taken for decay process = ? yr

[A_o] = initial amount of the sample = 100 grams

[A] = amount left after decay process =  13 grams

Putting values in above equation, we get:

1.21\times 10^{-4}=\frac{2.303}{t}\log\frac{100}{13}\\\\t=16864.4yrs

Hence, the tree was burned 16846.4 years ago to make the ancient charcoal

Compare a sodium ion and neutral sodium atom in size. what causes the size difference
n200080 [17]
A cation is smaller than its parent atom.
Therefore, here a sodium ion is smaller than the neutral sodium atom.

Reason: Since the sodium atom loses an electron to form an electropositive ion(cation), its nuclear charge increases(the number of protons exceeds the number of electrons) and the orbital electrons are pulled with a greater energy.
Thus,the sodium ion shrinks in size.

Forces between similar molecules are said to be
podryga [215]

Answer:

Forces between similar molecules are said to be <em>cohesive</em> while those between different types of molecules are said to be <em>adhesive</em>.

Water 'beads' due to its strong <em>cohesive</em> forces. The meniscus of water in a glass tube is <em>concave</em> because the <em>adhesive</em> forces are strong.

Explanation:

The water in a tube has stronger adhesive forces between the water and glass molecules, so the cohesive forces between water molecules are weaker. That makes the water 'ascend' through the tube, giving a concave form of the meniscus. Another example is mercury, which is the opposite. In this case, the cohesive forces are stronger than the adhesive ones, thus the meniscus is convex.

A sample of 211 g of iron (III) bromide is reacted with
Alisiya [41]

FeBr₃ ⇒ limiting reactant

mol NaBr = 1.428

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Reaction

2FeBr₃ + 3Na₂S → Fe₂S₃ + 6NaBr

Limiting reactant⇒ smaller ratio (mol divide by coefficient reaction)

  • FeBr₃

211 g of Iron (III) bromide(MW=295,56 g/mol), so mol FeBr₃ :

\tt n=\dfrac{mass}{MW}\\\\n=\dfrac{211}{295,56}\\\\n=0.714

  • Na₂S

186 g of Sodium sulfide(MW=78,0452 g/mol), so mol Na₂S :

\tt n=\dfrac{186}{78.0452}=2.38

Coefficient ratio from the equation FeBr₃ :  Na₂S = 2 : 3, so mol ratio :

\tt FeBr_3\div Na_2S=\dfrac{0.714}{2}\div \dfrac{2.38}{3}=0.357\div 0.793

So  FeBr₃ as a limiting reactant(smaller ratio)

mol NaBr based on limiting reactant (FeBr₃) :

\tt \dfrac{6}{3}\times 0.714=1.428
