A thermometer is placed in water in order to measure the water’s temperature. What would cause the liquid in the thermometer to

rise?
The molecules in the water move closer together.

The molecules in the thermometer’s liquid spread apart.

I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is the second option. It would be that the molecules in the thermometer’s liquid spread apart that caused <span>the liquid in the thermometer to rise. The heat expanded the liquid inside. Hope this answers the question.</span>

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When we use a thermometer to measure the temperature of water then heat from the water will lead to represent an increase in the thermometer reading.

This is because heat or warmth from the water will get transferred to the thermometer as a result, the liquid in the thermometer will also get warm.

Therefore, this warmth will increase kinetic energy of the molecules of liquid in the thermometer. Hence, the liquid will spread.

Thus, we can conclude that the liquid in the thermometer to rise because  molecules in the thermometer’s liquid spread apart.

A first-order reaction has a half-life of 29.2 s . how long does it take for the concentration of the reactant in the reaction t
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer is: it takes 116,8 seconds to fall to one-sixteenth of its initial value

<span> The half-life for the chemical reaction is 29,2 s and is independent of initial concentration.
c</span>₀ - initial concentration the reactant.

c - concentration of the reactant remaining at time.

t = 29,2 s.<span>
First calculate the rate constant k:
k = 0,693 ÷ t = 0,693 ÷ 29,2 s</span> = 0,0237 1/s.<span>
ln(c/c</span>₀) = -k·t₁.<span>
ln(1/16 </span>÷ 1) = -0,0237 1/s · t₁.

t₁ = 116,8 s.

Sulfur hexafluoride, SF6, is a colorless, odorless, very unreactive gas. Calculate the pressure (in atm) exerted by 2.02 moles o
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

9.15 atm

Explanation:

Ideal gas equation of state PV=nRT

P in hPa, V in L, n in mol, R is a constant which is 83.1 hpa*L/mol*k, T in kelvin.

Plug in all the number, and we will get:

P*6.21=2.02*83.1*343

P =9271.6(in hpa)=9.15 atm

½H2(g) + ½I2(g) → HI(g), ΔH = +6.2 kcal/mole 21.0 kcal/mole + C(s) + 2S(s) → CS2(l) What type of reaction is represented by the
wlad13 [49]

<u>Answer:</u>

Exothermic Reaction are those reaction, in which energy is released while in endothermic reaction are those, in which energy is absorbed.

<u>Explanation:</u>

First Reaction:

As in this reaction, energy is released

½H2(g) + ½I2(g) → HI(g), ΔH = +6.2 kcal/mole

so it is <em>exothermic reaction</em>

Second reaction:

As in this reaction, energy is absorbed

21.0 kcal/mole + C(s) + 2S(s) → CS2(l)

so it is <em>endothermic reactions</em>.
