The energy and state changes that occur when freezing rain falls and solidfies on a wire fence

Chemistry

Freezing rain is the term given to the precipitation of the rain sustained at temperatures below freezing by the ambient air mass, which results in freezing on encountering with the surfaces. Freezing rain is formed completely of liquid droplets, unlike sleet, ice pellets, or hail.  

The freezing rain falls and solidifies on a wire fence as the rain is changing from a liquid to a solid state by withdrawing thermal energy, ultimately resulting in freezing.

Answer:

Energy change: kinetic energy to potential energy

State change: liquid to solid

Explanation:

When rain falls, the freezing rain droplets are in motion, that is kinetic energy. When they fall on a fence and remain stationary, they now possess potential energy. Potential energy means energy at rest while kinetic energy means energy in motion.

Also the freezing droplets of rain change from liquid state to solid state as they solidify on the wire fence.

Chemical reaction (dissociation) 1: C₂O₄H₂(aq) ⇄ C₂O₄H⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq).
Chemical reaction (dissociation) 2: C₂O₄H⁻(aq) ⇄ C₂O₄²⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq).
c(C₂O₄H⁻) = c(H⁺) = x.
c(C₂O₄H₂) = 0.0269 M.
pKa₁ = 1.23.
Ka₁ = 10∧(-1.23) = 0.059.
Ka₁ = c(C₂O₄H⁻) · c(H⁺) / c(C₂O₄H₂).
0.059 = x² / (0.0269 M - x).
Solve quadratic eqaution: x = c(H⁺) = 0.02 M.
pH = -log(0.02 M) = 1.7.

For this discussion, respond to the following... An electron falls through a distance d in a uniform electric field of magnitude
mars1129 [50]

The electron should experience a greater acceleration due to it's significantly smaller mass and should fall through distance "d" in a shorter amount of time.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The electron force can be expressed as F=qE. According to Newton's second law of motion force can be expressed as F=ma. This can be written as a=F/m. Substituting electric force expression for "F" in this equation, we get a=qE/m. This means acceleration is conversely proportional to mass and directly to electric field and charge. This means that proton having significantly larger mass than electron should experience smaller amount of acceleration and would take longer to fall at distance "d".

On the other hand, the electron would experience greater acceleration due to it's significantly smaller mass and would fall faster at distance "d", unlike the situation of proton.

Put these different types of radiation in order from MOST to LEAST penetrating.
Naily [24]

Answer:

C. Gamma > beta > alpha

Explanation:

<u>Alpha rays</u> : These are positively charged  and have mass 4u. These contain high energy Helium nucleus with 2 proton and 2 neutron.

These are heavier and maximum charged than beta and gamma particles.They have low velocity,least penetration power (can't travel more than 10-18 cm).

<u>Beta rays</u> : They are negatively charged and have negligible mass.

On emmission of beta particle, neutron is divided into proton and electron. They have less mass and very high velocity, so their penetrating power is more than alpha particles.

<u>Gamma rays</u>: These are parts of electromagnetic spectrum and travel with the speed of light (maximum velocity).Gamma rays do not have mass have maximum penetrating power.
