When a person uses an iron to remove the wrinkles from a shirt why does the heat travel from iron to the shirt?

1 answer:

8 0

The iron uses heat waves to flatten the shirt. You can also you water to help the process and create steam. The steam will help soften the shirt making it easier to flatten. I am not sure if this is correct but it should help to understand why the shirt gets hot.

The correct matches are as follows:

1. Big Bang theory: Theory that suggests the origin of the universe started with an explosion and expansion of a very hot, dense, compact fireball.

2. Steady state theory: Theory about the origin of the universe that suggest that the universe has and will continue to be at a steady continuous state.

3. Oscillatory universe theory: Theory about the origin of the universe that suggests the universe is a never ending cycle of expansion and contraction.

4. Nebular theory: Theory about the origin of the solar system that suggest our sun and planet formed from a cloud of dust and gas.

5. Inflation theory: Theory that upholds the big bang theory but suggest there was an extremely rapid expansion or inflation milliseconds after the big bang.

6. Condensation theory: Theory about the origin of the solar system that agree with the nebular theory but stresses the importance of interstellar dust in planet formation.

How do plants and animals differ in how they get food?

Vilka [71]

Animals get their food by preying on other species or scrounging for scraps they can find. Some eat other animals and some eat plants.
Plants get their food by absorbing minerals and water from the ground and absorbing carbon dioxide from the air through their leaves. They then also absorb sunlight and all of those components are made into food for the plant. Simple answer is through photosynthesis.

The Mond process produces pure nickel metal via the thermal decomposition of nickel tetracarbonyl: Ni(CO)4 (l) → Ni (s) + 4CO (g

Yuki888 [10]

<u>Answer:</u> The volume of CO formed is 254.43 L.

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$

Given mass of $Ni(CO)_4$ = 444 g

Molar mass of $Ni(CO)_4$ = 170.73 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Moles of }Ni(CO)_4=\frac{444g}{170.73g/mol}=2.60mol$

For the given chemical reaction:

$Ni(CO)_4(l)\rightarrow Ni(s)+4CO(g)$

By stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of nickel tetracarbonyl produces 4 moles of carbon monoxide.

So, 2.60 moles of nickel tetracarbonyl will produce = $\frac{4}{1}\times 2.60=10.4mol$ of carbon monoxide.

Now, to calculate the volume of the gas, we use ideal gas equation, which is:

PV = nRT

where,

P = Pressure of the gas = 752 torr

V = Volume of the gas = ? L

n = Number of moles of gas = 10.4 mol

R = Gas constant = $62.364\text{ L Torr }mol^{-1}K^{-1}$

T = Temperature of the gas = $22^oC=(273+22)K=295K$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$752torr\times V=10.4mol\times 62.364\text{ L Torr }mol^{-1}K^{-1}\times 295K\\\\V=254.43L$

Hence, the volume of CO formed is 254.43 L.

What is the percent yield if 0.3 mol ba(no3)2 and 0.25 mol na3po4 react to produce 0.095 mol ba3(po4)2?

Lyrx [107]

The chemical reaction is expressed as:

3Ba(NO3)2 + 2Na3PO4 = Ba3(PO4)2 + 6NaNO3

To determine the percent yield, we need to determine the theoretical yield of the reaction from the given amounts of the reactants. We do as follows:

0.3 mol 3Ba(NO3)2 ( 2 mol Na3PO4 / 3 mol Ba(NO3)2) = 0.2 mol Na3PO4

Therefore, the limiting reactant would be Ba(NO3)2 since it is consumed completely in the reaction.

Theoretical yield = 0.3 mol 3Ba(NO3)2 ( 1 mol Ba3(PO4)2 / 3 mol Ba(NO3)2) = 0.1 mol Ba3(PO4)2

Percent yield = actual yield / theoretical yield = 0.095 mol Ba3(PO4)2 / 0.1 mol Ba3(PO4)2 x 100 = 95%
