If you quickly plunge a room-temperature mercury thermometer into very hot water, what will happen to the mercury level?\

Chemistry

The answer is; The mercury level first falls then begin to rise rapidly.

This is because even though glass is not a good thermal conductor, the great heat variation causes the glass to gather heat and expand first even before the mercury is reached by the heat. This increases the volume of the lumen of the glass hence causing the mercury level to drop as the volume of the glass increases.

however, as the heat reaches the mercury, it also begins to expand and the levels stop falling and begin to rise.

A pan containing 20.0 grams of water was allowed to cool from a temperature of 95.0 °C. If the amount of heat released is 1,200
34kurt

Answer:

81 °C

Explanation:

This is a calorimetry question so a few things you will need for this. The calorimetry equation q=mcΔT & the specific heat of water (4.2J/g•°C). Other definitions are:

q = heat added/released by a sample

m = mass of sample

c=specific heat of sample

ΔT = change in temperature

from here we can rearrange the equation to state:

q/(mc) = ΔT

1200J/((20.0g)(4.2J/g•°C)) = ΔT

14°C = ΔT

If the starting temperature was 95.0°C and we know that the temperature was cooled by 14°C then the final temperature of the water would be 81.

A mixture that separates into different layers when you stop stirring it is Select one: a. a solution. b. a suspension. c. a col
leva [86]

Answer: b suspension

a suspension is a heterogeneous mixture that contains solid particles sufficiently large for sedimentation . The particles may be

visible to the naked eye, usually must be larger than one micrometer , and will eventually settle, although the mixture is only classified as a suspension when and while the particles have not settled out. A suspension is a heterogeneous mixture in which the solute particles do not dissolve , but get suspended throughout the bulk of the solvent , left floating around freely in the medium. [1] The internal phase (solid) is dispersed throughout the external phase (fluid) through mechanical agitation , with the use of certain excipients or suspending agents.

An example of a suspension would be sand in water. The suspended particles are visible under a

microscope and will settle over time if left undisturbed. This distinguishes a suspension from a colloid , in which the suspended particles are smaller and do not settle.

Colloids and suspensions are different from

solution , in which the dissolved substance (solute) does not exist as a solid, and solvent and solute are homogeneously mixed.
