Answer:

d) increases

Explanation:

Benzene is an aromatic hydrocarbon which is obtained from the destructive distillation of coal. It is a colourless volatile liquid with a sweet smell. It boils ar 80° C (353 K) and freezes at 5°C (2278 K). It is insoluble in water but mixes in all proportions with ethanol, ethoxyethane and methylbenzene. The reason which benzene is insoluble in water is that benzene is a non-polar compound and water is polar, meanwhile only "like dissolves like". So, when the benzene molecule is placed in water. There will be distortion and disturbance between the benzene molecule and the water. Thus, the particle of each molecule will be distant from each other. This state results to change in the entropy of the system as the entropy of the system increases.

What change in volume results if 60 mL of a gas is cooled from 33 C to 5 C?

Eva8 [605]

Answer:

Change in volume on changing temperature from 33 $^{\circ}C$ to 5 $^{\circ}C$ is 5.49 mL

Explanation:

Initial volume of gas = V = 60 mL

Assuming final volume of gas to be V' mL

Initial temperature = T = 33 $^{\circ}C$ = 306 K

Final temperature = T' = 5 $^{\circ}C$ = 278 K

The relationship between volume and temperature of gas at constant pressure is shown below

$\displaystyle \frac{V}{V'}=\displaystyle \frac{T}{T'} \\\displaystyle \frac{60\textrm{ mL}}{V'} = \displaystyle \frac{306\textrm{ K}}{T} \\V' = 54.51 \textrm{ mL} \\\textrm{Change in volume} = \left ( V-V' \right ) \\\textrm{Change in volume} = \left ( 60-54.51 \right )\textrm{ mL} \\\textrm{Change in volume} = 5.49 \textrm{ mL}$

Change in volume on changing temperature = 5.49 mL

Explain what it means to be considered a “renewable” energy source, and what it means to be a “non-renewable” energy source.

Neporo4naja [7]

Answer: Resources are characterized as renewable or nonrenewable

- a renewable resource can replenish itself at the rate it is used such as solar energy, wind energy, hydro energy, and tidal energy.

- a nonrenewable resource has a limited supply such as coal, gas, nuclear energy, and fossil fuels.
