Why don’t the trees spontaneously catch fire and burn all the time? Why don’t the fires stop immediately as soon as they start?

Chemistry

7 0

Answer:

Both of these phenomena is due to the ignition temperature.

Explanation:

Trees don't spontaneously catch fire because there is a temperature above which materials combust. This is called the "ignition temperature." This temperature must be reached before the trees will ignite, and the external condition does not always harbor such high temperature.

Fires don't stop immediately because, while some parts of the flame has cooled down sufficiently below the ignition temperature, other parts of the flame have not. It takes time for all the part of the flame to cool down below ignition temperature for the burning to stop.

How is mass calculated given density and volume? (1 point) Question 8 options: 1) Volume divided by volume 2) Sum of volume and
laila [671]

Answer:

3) Density multiplied by volume

Explanation:

Density:

Density is equal to the mass of substance divided by its volume.

Units:

SI unit of density is Kg/m3.

Other units are given below,

g/cm3, g/mL , kg/L

Formula:

D=m/v

D= density

m=mass

V=volume

So by rearranging this formula mass can be determine.

 d = m/v

m = d×/v

Unit of mass when volume in mL and ddensity is g/mL

m = g/mL×mL

m = g

Example:

density = 5g/mL

volume = 3 mL

mass = ?

m = d×v

m = 5g/mL ×3 mL

m = 15 g

If an ultraviolet photon has a wavelength of 77.8 nm calculate the energy of one mole ultraviolet photon.
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

Explanation:

E = (hc)/(λ)

E = (6.624x10^(-27))Js x ((3×10^8)ms^(-1)) /

(77.8x10^(-9)m)

E = 2.55 x 10^(-11) J
