Explain what makes insulative materials work most effectively.

Chemistry
1 answer:
KengaRu [80]4 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Most common insulation materials work by slowing conductive heat flow and--to a lesser extent--convective heat flow. Radiant barriers and reflective insulation systems work by reducing radiant heat gain. To be effective, the reflective surface must face an air space.

Explanation:

To be effective, the reflective surface must face an air space.

Write the ΔH system for each of the following changes in physical state
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

a. positive

b. negative

c. positive

d. negative

Explanation:

In a exothermic reaction, heat is written as a product (del H is negative), whereas in an endothermic reaction heat is written on the reaction side (del H is positive).

For a, it is endothermic process. We know this because to go from solid to liquid you need to put energy into the system. When we put energy into a chemical system it is said to be an endothermic reaction.

For b, it is exothermic reaction. This is because you have to lose the extra energy to go from less ordered states (gas) to more ordered state (liquid). Gas is less ordered because its molecules are freely moving and such. Another way of thinking about this question is just putting the heat on product side and think if I was going in reverse direction I would put heat in product because I would need to add heat to liquid to turn to gas (and if heat is added to product side we know its exothermic). Two ways of thinking whichever you prefer.

The rest have similar explaination.

Is graph paper a homogeneous or heterogeneous mixture
labwork [276]

Answer:

There is no chemical symbol for paper since it is not an element but rather a mixture of several different compounds. Mixtures in two or more phases are heterogeneous mixtures.

Katie designed an experiment using a paint roller pan, sand, and water. The steps of the experiment are listed below.
SVETLANKA909090 [29]
She has the sea (water), the sand could be viewed as the geosphere and clearly the biosphere. I think for the environment to apply here I would hope to see something about it in the analysis. 
Truly, I could go whichever way on this one.
