It's not, if it were it would be ice. The water is a bit warmer.

Because the electrons in a solid, in this case the ice, are only vibrating. And so when it heats up, the electrons vibrate more. Imagine a scale from 1 to 150, 1 to 50 is a solid, 50 to 100 is a liquid, and 100 to 150 is a gas. If the ice has just been melted, then the electrons are only just in the beginning stages of moving enough to be a liquid, and the movement of electrons determines the temperature because it creates energy. I hope this was the answer you were looking for, let me know if I confused you

PLEASE HELP! (IM GIVING BRAINLIEST) Iron is a transition metal and, as such, can form two types of "oxide" salt compounds, FeO a
belka [17]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Iron exhibits two stable oxidation states, +2 and +3 states. The difference between FeO and Fe2O3 is that, in FeO, Fe is in the +2 oxidation state while in Fe2O3, Fe is in the +3 oxidation state

In FeO, iron looses two electrons which are gained by oxygen as follows;

Fe^2+ + O^2- -----> FeO

In Fe2O3, Fe looses six electrons while oxygen has gained six electrons as shown;

2Fe^3+ + 3O^2- ------>Fe2O3

A sample of gas contains 6.25 × 10-3 mol in a 500.0 mL flask at 265°C. What is the pressure of the gas in kilopascals? Which var
RideAnS [48]

55.9 kPa; Variables given = volume (V), moles (n), temperature (T)

We must calculate <em>p</em> from <em>V, n</em>, and <em>T</em>, so we use <em>the Ideal Gas Law</em>:

<em>pV = nRT</em>

Solve for <em>p</em>: <em>p = nRT/V</em>

R = 8.314 kPa.L.K^(-1).mol^(-1)

<em>T</em> = (265 + 273.15) K = 538.15 K

<em>V</em> = 500.0 mL = 0.5000 L

∴ <em>p</em> = [6.25 x 10^(-3) mol x 8.314 kPa·L·K^(-1)·mol^(-1) x 538.15 K]/(0.5000 L) = 55.9 kPa

Which of the following solutions would have the lowest freezing point? 1.0 nacl 3.0 nacl 2.0 nacl or 5.0 nacl
Scilla [17]
The solution that will have the lowest freezing point is 5.0 SODIUM CHLORIDE. 
Adding solute to solvents usually result in the depression of the freezing point. The higher the quantity of the solute that is added, the lower the freezing point of the solution.
