C. heat from the water moving through the cooler air

I think it's C because when something cools down, it has to reach a point of thermal equilibrium with the matter (in this case air) around it. So heat transfer happens through convection from the heat in the pan to the cooler surrounding air. The heated air becomes less dense and rises, while cooler air, sinks to the surface of the water, gets heated, and rises.This convection cycle keeps happening until the water in the pan is around the same temperature with the air around it.

When two 1s hydrogen atoms combine to form h2, the bond formed is:?

Tanya [424]

H2 is a covalent bond. Each hydrogen atom shares its single electron to the other, so each hydrogen has two valence electrons (full outer shell).

A gas at 300 k and 4.0 atm is moved to a new loacation with a temperature of 250 k. The volume changes from 5.5 L to 2.0 L. What

alexgriva [62]

Answer is: the pressure of the gas is 9,2 atm.
p₁ = 4,0 atm.
T₁ = 300 K.
V₁ = 5,5 L.
p₂ = ?
T₂ = 250 K.
V₂ = 2,0 L.
Use combined gas law - the volume of amount of gas is proportional to the ratio of its Kelvin temperature and its pressure.
p₁V₁/T₁ = p₂V₂/T₂.
4 atm · 5,5 L ÷ 300 K = p₂ · 2,0 L ÷ 250 K.
0,0733 = 0,008p₂.
p₂ = 9,2 atm.

Are two atoms of the same element identical??

Neko [114]

No. Although two such atoms are essentially chemically identical (they will chemically react in the same way), they are not completely identical.

What is the mass of solute in a 500 mL solution of 0.200 M

Fofino [41]

16.4 grams is the mass of solute in a 500 mL solution of 0.200 M .

sodium phosphate

Explanation:

Given data about sodium phosphate

atomic mass of Na3PO4 = 164 grams/mole

volume of the solution = 500 ml or 0.5 litres

molarity of sodium phosphate solution = 0.200 M

The formula for molarity will be used here to know the mass dissolved in the given volume of the solution:

The formula is

molarity = $\frac{number of moles of solute}{volume in litres}$

putting the values in the equation, we get

molarity x volume = number of moles

0.200 X 0.5= number of moles

number of moles = 0.1 moles

Atomic mass x number of moles = mass

putting the values in the above equation

164 x 0.1 = 16.4 grams

16.4 grams of sodium phosphate is present in 0.5 L of the solution to make a 0.2 M solution.

Calculate the pH of a solution created by placing 2.0 grams of yttrium hydroxide, Y(OH)3, in 2.0 L of H2O. Ksp for Y(OH)3 is 6.0

oee [108]

Answer:

pH = 8.314

Explanation:

Y(OH)3(s) ↔ Y+ + 3OH-

equil: S S 3S

∴ Ksp = [ Y+ ] * [ OH- ]³ = 6.0 E-24

⇒ 6.0 E-24 = ( S )*( 3S )³

⇒ 6.0 E-24 = 27S∧4

⇒ 2.22 E-25 = S∧4

⇒ ( 2.22 E-25 )∧(1/4) = S

⇒ S = 6.866 E-7 M

⇒ [ OH- ] = 3*S =2.06 E-6 M

⇒ pOH = - Log [ OH- ]

⇒ pOH = - Log ( 2.06 E-6 )

⇒ pOH = 5.686

∴ pH = 14 - pOH

⇒ pH = 8.314
