Answer:
1) The Kelvin temperature cannot be negative
2) The Kelvin degree is written as K, not ºK
Explanation:
The temperature of an object can be written using different temperature scales.
The two most important scales are:
- Celsius scale: the Celsius degree is indicated with ºC. It is based on the freezing point of water (placed at 0ºC) and the boiling point of water (100ºC).
- Kelvin scale: the Kelvin is indicated with K. it is based on the concept of "absolute zero" temperature, which is the temperature at which matter stops moving, and it is placed at zero Kelvin (0 K), so this scale cannot have negative temperatures, since 0 K is the lowest possible temperature.
The expression to convert from Celsius degrees to Kelvin is:
Therefore in this problem, since the student reported a temperature of -3.5 ºK, the errors done are:
1) The Kelvin temperature cannot be negative
2) The Kelvin degree is written as K, not ºK
Answer:
Chemical energy
Explanation:
An atom is the basic unit of a chemical element.
A chemical bond held together with atoms, ions, or molecules that leads to the formation of chemical compounds. A chemical bond may be covalent, polar covalent, or ionic. Among these chemical bonds, an ionic bond is the strongest chemical bond.
Chemical energy is stored in the chemical bonds between atoms.
Weight percentage of nitrogen can be calculated using the following rule:
weight percentage of nitrogen = (weight of nitrogen / weight of urea) x 100
From the periodic table:
molecular mass of carbon = 12 grams
molecular mass of nitrogen = 14 grams
molecular mass of hydrogen = 1 grams
molecular mass of oxygen = 16 grams
therefore:
mass of nitrogen in urea = 2(14) = 28 grams
mass of urea = 12 + 2(14) + 4(1) + 16 = 60 grams
Substitute with the masses in the equation to get the percentage:
weight percentage of nitrogen = (28/60) x 100 = 46.667%
Answer: R & D is the correct option.
Explanation:
Research and development department of a chemical industry requires individuals holding advanced degrees because :
