Why would aluminum foil be useful in a thermos design

Chemistry
2 answers:
Jet001 [13]3 years ago
6 0

Explanation:

aluminum foil be useful in a thermos design because Aluminum foil reflects radiating heat.

Aluminum foil acts as insulation serves productively and efficiently and stops the transmission of heat that helps to reduce wastage of heat.

Aluminum foil work as thermal insulation which is utilized for multiple works where it can be useful for preventing unwanted energy gain or energy loss.

Thus this is the reason aluminum foil is useful in a thermos design.

Estradiol is a female sexual hormone that causes maturation and maintenance of the female reproductive system. Elemental analysi
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

The molecular formula of estradiol is: C_{18}H_{24}O_2.

Explanation:

Molar mass of of estradiol = M= 272.37 g/mol

Let the molecular formula of estradiol be C_xH_yO_z

Percentage of an element in a compound:

\frac{\text{Number of atoms of element}\times \text{Atomic mass of element}}{\text{molecular mass of element}}\times 100

Percentage of carbon in estradiol  :

\frac{x\times 12 g/mol}{272.37 g/mol}\times 100=79.37\%

x = 18.0

Percentage of hydrogen in estradiol  :

\frac{y\times 1g/mol}{272.37 g/mol}\times 100=8.88\%

y = 24.2 ≈ 24

Percentage of oxygen in estradiol  :

\frac{z\times 16 g/mol}{272.37 g/mol}\times 100=11.75\%

z = 2

The molecular formula of estradiol is: C_xH_yO_z:C_{18}H_{24}O_2

Hello, a little help please guys:( Explain how the series of experiments performed by Crookes, Thomson, Rutherford, and Chadwick
White raven [17]
<span>I did some investigation and summarized the process and made a clearer explanation so those who are confused can imagine the process better :) A scientific theory attempts to explain and describe why things happen. Hypotheses are formed and experiments are done to validate or toss the hypothesis based on the data collected. The Atomic Theory has gone through lots of refining as a scientific theory. For instance, William Crookes conduced an experiment with cathode ray tubes powered by electricity that glowed when powered. Crookes placed an object in between the positive and negative electrode and concluded that the shadow made on the positive side was small particles of matter traveling from the negative side. But more evidence was needed so, later on, J.J. Thomson continued Crookes experiment. He tested what would happen if a negative or positive charged rod was placed along the ray tubes and if it would differ if a different element was used as the negative electrode. Thomson found out that the beam had negatively charged particles and that even if the negative electrode is substituted, the glow is still present, meaning that all elements also had the small negative particles. These particles(now known as electrons) were smaller than the atom and were added to the model of the atom dispersed throughout the neutrally charged atom inside its positive sphere. Now came along Rutherford hoping to support Thomsons model by firing positively charged particles at a thin gold foil thinking it would go straight through the foil, but instead it evenly distributed as they went through the foil, concluding that atoms have a small, dense nucleus(containing positive protons and most of the mass of the atom) that deflected the particles passing through. This was a drastic change in the model now knowing that 1 proton has 2000 times the mass of an electron, but its positive charge cancels the negative electron. After WW1, Chadwick and others were seeing that sometimes the mass of the atom was greater than the mass of the protons and the number of protons was less than the mass of the atom. So it was thought that there were extra electrons and protons adding mass in the nucleus but cancelling their charges, but Rutherford proposed a particle with mass but no charge and called it a neutron; made of paired protons and electrons. But scientists kept studying atoms since there was no evidence of the neutron. Chadwick repeated these experiments though, in hopes to find the neutron and succeeded in 1932, finding it in the nucleus with a close mass to the proton. Thanks to these experiments for refining a scientific theory, we now have a clearer model of the atom.</span>

What is the specific heat of a substance if 25 grams rises in temperature from 10 degrees Celsius to 25 degrees with the additio
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

0.75 cal/g°c

Explanation:

for specific heat we have formula:

Amount of heat absorbed or released = mass x specific heat of a substance x change in temperature.

ΔQ=m x c x ΔT

where c= specific heat

m= mass of a substance

ΔT = total temperature

ΔQ = Amount of heat

so for specific heat,

c= ΔQ/mxΔT

c= 280/25x (25-10)

c= 280/375

c= 0.75 cal/g°c
