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

Chemistry
1 answer:
Hunter-Best [27]3 years ago
3 0
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.

Why chlorine is more reactive than hydrogen​
Lynna [10]

Answer:

<em>Hi Todoroki here!!! </em>

Explanation:

Chlorine has the electron configuration [Ne]3s 2 3p 5, with the seven electrons in the third and outermost shell acting as its valence electrons. Like all halogens, it is thus one electron short of a full octet, and is hence a strong oxidising agent, reacting with many elements in order to complete its outer shell.

<em>Your welcome!!</em>

Calculate the mass of sodium phosphate in aqueous solution to fully react with 37 g of chromium nitrate(III) an aqueous solution
Alla [95]

Answer:

41 g

Explanation:

The equation of the reaction is;

Cr(NO3)3(aq)+Na3PO4(aq)=3NaNO3(s)+CrPO4(aq)

Number of moles of chromium nitrate = 37g/ 146.97 g/mol = 0.25 moles

1 mole of sodium phosphate reacts with 1 mole of chromium nitrate

x moles of sodium phosphate react as with 0.25 moles of chromium nitrate

x= 1 × 0.25/1

x= 0.25 moles

Mass of sodium phosphate = 0.25 moles × 163.94 g/mol

Mass of sodium phosphate = 41 g

Which one of the following would have the largest dispersion forces?
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

A) CH3CH2SH

Explanation:

Dispersion forces are weak attractions found between non-polar and polar molecules. The attractions here can be attributed to the fact that a  non-polar molecule sometimes become polar because the constant motion of its electrons may lead to an uneven charge distribution at an instant. If this happens, the molecule has a temporary dipole. This dipole can induce the neighbouring molecules to be distorted and form dipoles as well. The attractions between these dipoles constitute the Dispersion Forces.

Therefore; the greater the molar mass of a compound or molecule, the higher the Dispersion Force. This implies that the compound or molecule with the highest molar mass have the largest dispersion forces.

Now; for option (A)

CH3CH2SH

The molar mass is :

= (12 + (1 × 3 ) +12 + (1 ×2) + 32+1)

= (12 + 3+ 12 + 2 + 32 + 1)

= 62 g/mol

For option (B)

CH3NH2

The molar mass is:

= (12 + (1 ×  3 ) +14 + (1 ×  2)

= (12 + 3 + 14 + 2)

= 31 g/mol

For option (C)

CH4

The molar mass is :

= 12 + (1 × 4)

= 12 + 4

= 16 g/mol

For option (D)

CH3CH3

The molar mass is :

= 12 + ( 1 × 3 ) + 12 + ( 1 × 3)

= 12 + 3 + 12 + 3

= 30 g/mol

Thus ; option (A) has the highest molar mass, as such the largest dispersion force is A) CH3CH2SH

Convert 7.02 mol of NaCl to formula units??
nika2105 [10]

<span>To convert the number of moles a compound to formula units, the conversion factor is Avogadro's number, 6.022 x10^23 formula units/ mol. In this case, we are given with 7.02 moles of sodium chloride. Hence the answer is 4.23 x 10^24 formula units.</span>
