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.

The kinetic energy of the water molecules decreases.

The kinetic energy of the thermometer’s liquid molecules decreases

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.

2H2O --> 2H2 + O2
The mole H2O:mole O2 ratio is 2:1
Now determine how many moles of O2 are in 50g: 50g × 1mol/32g = 1.56 moles O2
Since 1 mole of O2 was produced for every 2 moles of H2O, we need 2×O2moles = H2O moles
2×1.56 = 3.13 moles H2O
Finally, convert moles to grams for H2O:
3.13moles × 18g/mol = 56.28 g H2O

In an ecosystem, what do organisms and populations with similar needs compete<br>over?​
hram777 [196]

Answer:

In any ecosystem, organisms and populations with similar requirements for food, water, oxygen, or other resources may compete with each other for limited resources, access to which consequently constrains their growth and reproduction. Growth of organisms and population increases are limited by access to resources.

What is the molarity of 5.60 mol of sodium carbonate in 1500 ml of solution?
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

3.74 M

Explanation:

We know that molarity is moles divided by liters. The first thing to do here is convert your 1500 mL of solution to L. There's 1,000 mL in 1 L, so you need to divide 1500 by 1000:

1500 ÷ 1000 = 1.50

Now you can plug your values into the equation for molarity:

5.60 mol ÷ 1.50 L = 3.74 M
