Why is graphite used as a lubricant

Chemistry
2 answers:
Korvikt [17]2 years ago
6 0

There are weaker covalent bonds between these layers, hence they can easily slide over each other. Due to this, it is a lubricant, since the layers slide over each other so easily. ... Graphite is a mineral made of loosely bonded sheets of carbon atoms, giving it a slippery texture that makes it a very effective lubricant.

The diagram shows Niels Bohr’s model of an atom.
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

Energy is absorbed, and an emission line is produced.

Explanation:

Electrons are present and revolving continuously in the orbits that are present around the nucleus. The energy of electron are fixed and unable to move to other orbits due to the strong attractive force of the proton which is present in the nucleus of the atom. If the electron wants to jump from the first energy level to the second energy level, so the electron has to absorb enough energy which can overcome the attractive force of proton.

A sample of nitrogen occupies 10.0 liters at 25°C what would be the new volume at 20°C? 7.9 L Ob 9.8 L 10.2 L 10.6 L
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

  9.4 liter

Explanation:

1) Data:

V₁ = 10.0 L

T₁ = 25°C = 25 + 273.15 K = 298.15 K

 P₁ = 98.7 Kpa

 T₂ = 20°C = 20 + 273.15 K = 293.15 K

  P₂ = 102.7 KPa

  V₂ = ?

2) Formula:

Used combined law of gases:

  PV / T = constant

  P₁V₁ / T₁ = P₂V₂ / T₂

3) Solution:

Solve the equation for V₂:

  V₂ = P₁V₁ T₂ / (P₂ T₁)

Substitute and compuite:

V₂ = P₁V₁ T₂ / (P₂ T₁)

V₂ = 98.7 KPa × 10.0 L × 293.15 K / (102.7 KPa × 298.15 K)

V₂ =  9.4 liter ← answer
