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.

Burning a candle melts the wax, but also burns the wick. Explain how burning a candle involves both physical and chemical change
k0ka [10]

Answer:

Burning of the candle is both physical and chemical change. Burning of the candle melts the wax and hence physical state of wax has changed from solid to liquid.  

Again the wax combines with the atmospheric oxygen and changes to carbon dioxide, heat and light.  

Thus both the changes are accompanied by the burning of the candle.

Explanation:

Despite not knowing mechanistic details of the adsorption of water onto silica gel, from the information provided, you should be
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

G<0, spontanteous

H<0, from equation

S>0, gas to solid

Explanation:

The small bags of silica gel you often see in a new shoe box are placed there to control humidity. Despite its name, silica gel is a solid. It is a chemically inert, highly porous, amorphous form of SiO2. Water vapor readily adsorbs onto the surface of silica gel, so it acts as a desiccant. Despite not knowing mechanistic details of the adsorption of water onto silica gel, from the information provided, you should be able to make an educated guess about the thermodynamic characteristics of the process. Predict the signs of ΔG, ΔH, and ΔS.

H<0, from equation
