Why is one able to walk on red-hot coals without getting one’s feet burned?

Chemistry

Hunter-Best [27]3 years ago

Before the person walks through burning coal, the person will make sure their feet are very wet. When they start walking on the coal, the moisture will evaporate and form a protective gas layer underneath the person's feet.

You can see examples of this if you happen to drip some water on a hot stove or any hot surface. The water will easily glide around on top of a newly formed layer of air underneath it, like air hockey pucks on an air hockey table.

Properties of a substance which can be measured or observed without altering the identity of the substance being measured are __
rosijanka [135]

Answer:

The correct answer is physical properties and/or phase properties.

Explanation:

Chemical properties can alter the substance (if you burn wood, it becomes ash and is no longer wood).

Reactive properties are also chemically changing the substance.

Phase properties are where the element can be in solid, liquid, or gas form so these could also be an answer.

How many flourine atoms are present in 5.3 grams of flourine sample? (note that you have to use the 3 step method)​
Bingel [31]

Answer:

1.7x10²³ Fluorine atoms are present

Explanation:

To solve this question we must know that, to find the amount of atoms of a substance from its mass, we have, as first, to convert this mass to moles using molar mass of the substance. With the moles we can find the amount of molecules using Avogadro's number. And with the formula we can know the atoms presents:

<em>Moles Fluorine (F₂, Molar mass: 37.997g/mol)</em>

5.3g * (1mol / 37.997g) = 0.139 moles F₂

<em>Molecules F₂:</em>

0.139 moles F₂ * (6.022x10²³molecules / mol) = 8.4x10²² molecules F₂

As 1 molecule of F₂ contains 2 atoms of Fluorine:

8.4x10²² molecules F₂ * 2 =

<h3>1.7x10²³ Fluorine atoms are present</h3>
