<span>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.</span>

A sample of gas has a volume of 3.75 L at a temperature of 25°C and a pressure of 1.15 atm. What will the volume be at a tempera

omeli [17]

Answer: V = 5.1 L

Explanation: To find the new volume, we will use the formula of Combined Gas Law and derive V2. We also need to convert first the temperature in Kelvin and convert torr to atm ( 1 atm = 760 torrs ).

Complete the sentence. When an acid is added to water, hydroxide ions __________.

kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

The hydroxide ions decrease.

Explanation:

I got it right on the quiz. This is what I saw. Read this, "Adding water to an acid or base will change its pH. Water is mostly water molecules so adding water to an acid or base reduces the concentration of ions in the solution. When an acidic solution is diluted with water the concentration of H + ions decreases and the pH of the solution increases towards 7."

Hope this helps! Tell me if this is wrong just incase.
