Why is graphite used as a lubricant

Chemistry
2 answers:
Korvikt [17]3 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.

Which substance will require more energy to heat if all the samples have the same mass? A chart with two columns and nine rows.
Paraphin [41]

Here we have to identify the sample which need more energy to heat the sample 1 degree Celsius.

Among the given elements magnesium will require more energy than the others to heat.

As per the definition of specific heat of a compound, the amount of heat required to increase the temperature of the material 1 degree Celsius is the specific heat of the material.

The given data are-

substance              specific heat

Lead                            0.129

Tin                                0.21

Silver                            0.235

Iron                              0.449

Calcium                        0.647

Granite                         0.803

Aluminium                   0.897

Magnesium                  1.023

From the given data lead, magnesium, iron and aluminium have the specific heat 0.129, 1.023, 0.449 and 0.897 respectively. Thus magnesium will require more energy than the others to heat.

A scientist is studying a shock wave from an earthquake. What kind of wave is being studying?
Naily [24]

Answer:

A scientist is studying a shock wave from an earthquake, he is studying mechanical wave.

Explanation:

The shock waves are experienced during earthquake. At the area of increased pressure shock wave are created as the object in that places moves faster as compared to the speed of sound. Shock wave are type of mechanical wave. For its transfer it requires a medium. An electromagnetic wave can travel of its own without any medium, under electromagnetic wave gamma ray and radio wave comes. they are transverse wave.
