Expansion

Explanation:

Expansion is the change is size of a body with increasing temperature and tension.

Bridges are built of iron. Iron thermally expands in the presence of increased temperature during the day. The length of the iron will increase by simple fractions. At night, when temperature drops, the bar returns back to its initial position.

  • The allowance for expansion of the metal is made in order to prevent tension within the structure.
  • Not doing this will cause the material to break since there is no free space for the bar to change shape.

can someone help me more clearly understand the difference between heterogeneous and homogeneous? Give an example of each plz.
const2013 [10]
Heterogenous mixtures are unevenly mixed. Like oil and vinegar in vinaigrette if it is not emulsified well enough and they separate. Any case where two things are not evenly distributed within each other.

Homogenous mixtures are evenly mixed throughout. Like salt water or kool-aid (when it's mixed).

Hope this helps!

What state of matter has the strongest intermolecular forces?
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

Solid

Explanation:

As the temperature continues to drop, the matter forms a solid. Due to the solid's low kinetic energy, particles have no "time" to move around, the particles have more "time" to be attracted. Therefore, solids have the strongest intramolecular forces (because they have the strongest attraction).

If you have 12.5g of fluoride and 16.2g of sodium, which is the limiting reactant and how sodium fluoride in grams is your theor
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

F2 is the limiting reactant

27.6 grams of NaF is produced.

Explanation:

Balance the equation first.

2Na+ F2 ---> 2NaF

To find the limiting reactant, solve for how much NaF can be produced with Na and F2

12.5g F2 x (1 mole F2/ 38.00 grams F2)x (2 mole NaF/ 1 mole F2)

=0.658 moles NaF

16.2g Na x (1 mole Na/ 22.99 grams Na)x (2 mole NaF/ 2 mole Na)

=0.705 moles NaF

Since F2 produced the least NaF, F2 is the limiting reactant.

Now, to find how much NaF there is, use the moles solved above with F2 as the limiting reactant.

0.658 moles NaF x (41.99 grams NaF/ 1 mole NaF)= 27.6 moles NaF

27.6 moles of NaF would be theoretically produced.
