Use the conservation of mass to explain why a rusty nail weighs more than the original nail.

Chemistry
1 answer:
cricket20 [7]4 years ago

<h3><u>Answer and Explanation</u>;</h3>
  • Rust is iron oxide, a molecule consisting of iron and oxygen. The mass of the iron in the rust molecules comes from the original nail, but the mass of the oxygen has come from the air.
  • When rust forms on iron, the mass of the iron object is increased by the mass of the oxygen that has combined with some of the iron.
  • Rusty iron weighs more because the iron reacts with oxygen in the air to form oxides which are solids which appear to grow on the iron as more oxygen comes along.

Answer:

The order would be: X-Rays, Visible Light, and Infrared Waves.

X-Rays have the shortest wavelength out of all three, then Visible Light, and Infrared Waves have the longest wavelength of the three.

Explanation:

So basically, the LONGER the wavelength, the lower the energy. and the SHORTER the wavelength, the higher the energy. For example, Radio waves are the WEAKEST out of all the types of waves because they have the LONGEST wavelengths. Gamma Rays are the STRONGEST out of all the types of waves because they have the SHORTEST wavelengths. So Radio Waves have the lowest energy, and Gamma Rays have the highest energy.

Here is a list of all the types of waves in order from shortest wavelength to longest wavelengths:

Gamma Rays (Shortest Wavelengths, High Energy), then X-Rays would be the second strongest, then Ultraviolet waves, then Visible Light, then Infrared waves, then Microwaves, and lastly Radio Waves (Longest Wavelengths, Low Energy).

stellarik [79]

The correct option is D.

The reactants that combine together to form glucose are carbon dioxide, water and energy from the sun. Six molecules of carbon dioxide combine with six molecules of water in the presence of sunlight to form glucose. The chemical equation for the reaction is given below"

6CO2 + 6H2O + Sunlight = C6H12O6.
