Gerald's science teacher mixed room temperature samples of hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide in a large beaker. The solutio

n still looked clear like water, but when the students carefully touched the beaker one at a time, it felt warm to the touch.
Why did the beaker most likely feel warm?

 <span>HCl is a strong acid and NaOH is a strong base, so mixing them together will produce a lot of heat. The products are salt or Sodium chloride (NaCl) and water (H2O). Since one is an acid and one is a base they will neutralize each other. I hope this helps</span>

Answer:

The beaker feels warm because is an exothermic reaction

Explanation:

An exothermic reaction is one that releases energy, in this case, through heat. Then, when HCl, a strong acid, and NaOH, a strong base, are mixed together it is produced a salt and water with a release of energy. The reaction is expressed as:

HCl + NaOH ------> NaCl + HCl + Energy

This happens because the energy of the products is lower than the energy of the reactants.

Why do a car's tires need more air in the winter than they do in the summer?
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

In winter's, temperature of atmosphere is low and due to this molecules of air present in the tire come closer to each other as they gain potential energy and loses kinetic energy.

Hence, air pressure decreases and there is need to fill more air in the tire.

Whereas is summer's, temperature is high so, molecules of air inside the tire gain kinetic energy and move rapidly from one place to another due to number of collisions. So, air pressure increases and there is no need to fill more air inside the tire.

Thus, we can conclude that the temperature is lower, so the air inside the tires contracts.

Two liquids, a and b are immiscible. liquid a has a density of 0.89 g/ml. liquid b has a density of 0.72 g/ml. what would you ex
Burka [1]
In the given above, we have two densities which are 0.89 g/mL and 0.72 g/mL. We are also given that the liquids are immiscible. After the settlement of the liquids, they will form two layers.

The heavier substance, the one which has a higher density will be at the bottom and the lighter substance, the one which has a lower density will be at the top layer.

6.0L of a gas exert a pressure of 2.5 atm. When the pressure is increased to 10.0atm what is the new volume of the gas
jeka57 [31]

Answer:

<h2>1.5 L</h2>

Explanation:

The new volume can be found by using the formula for Boyle's law which is

P_1V_1 = P_2V_2

Since we are finding the new volume

V_2 =  \frac{P_1V_1}{P_2}  \\

From the question we have

V_2 =  \frac{6 \times 2.5}{10}  =  \frac{15}{10}  =  \frac{3}{2}  \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>1.5 L</h3>

Hope this helps you

1.What is the specific heat capacity of granite when 20 kg absorbs 237 000 J of heat energy, causing its temperature to increase
Natalka [10]

<u>Given</u> :

  • Amount = 20 kg
  • Heat energy absorbed = 237,000 J
  • Temperature change = 15 °C

<u>Formula applied</u> :

\boxed {Q = mc \triangle T}

  • Q = absorbed heat
  • m = mass
  • c = specific heat capacity
  • ΔT = temperature change

Let's solve for c !

⇒ 237,000 = 20 × c × 15

⇒ c = 237,000 ÷ 300

⇒ \boxed {c = 790 J kg^{-1} K^{-1}}

∴ The specific heat capacity of granite is <u>790 J kg⁻¹ K⁻¹</u>.
