Explain why metals can conduct electricity and heat well

Chemistry

bekas [8.4K]3 years ago
8 0
Electric current is the flow of electrons in a wire. In metals, the outer electrons of the atoms belong to a 'cloud' of delocalised electrons. They are no longer firmly held by a specific atom, but instead they can move freely through the lattice of positive metal ions. ... Metals are good conductors of heat.

Through which of the following processes is carbon directly transferred between living organisms and the environment?
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

The answer is carbon cycle.

Explanation:

The carbon cycle is an important process for living organisms. As plants prepare their food through photosynthesis and is also an important source of fossil fuels for human activities.

Therefore carbon atoms are regenerated again and again in the carbon cycle process. This recycling process takes place between livings and nonliving things in the environment and also within the earth biosphere.

Abundance supply of carbon is necessary to carry out the biological processes. The entire carbon cycle is actually made up of sourced and sinks elements.

A 275 g sample of a metal requires 10.75 kJ to change its temperature from 21.2 oC to its melting temperature, 327.5 oC. What is
Vlada [557]

Answer:

c=0.127\ J/g^{\circ} C

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the sample, m = 275 g

It required 10.75 kJ of heat to change its temperature from 21.2 °C to its melting temperature, 327.5 °C.

We need to find the specific heat of the metal. The heat required by a metal sample is given by :

Q=mc\Delta T

c is specific heat of the metal

c=\dfrac{Q}{m\Delta T}\\\\c=\dfrac{10.75\times 10^3\ J}{275\times (327.5 -21.2)}\\\\=0.127\ J/g^{\circ} C

So, the specific heat of metal is 0.127\ J/g^{\circ} C.

Phosphodiesterase functions Select one: a. as a membrane-bound receptor molecule. b. to inactivate cyclic AMP. c. to attach phos
ikadub [295]
Cyclic nucleotides cAMP and cGMP are part of almost all major cellular signaling pathways. Phosphodiesterases (PDEs) are enzymes that regulate the intracellular levels of cAMP and cGMP. Protein kinase A or cAMP-dependent protein kinase mediates most cAMP effects in the cell. Over the last 25 years, various components of this group of molecules have been involved in human diseases, both genetic and acquired. Lately, the PDEs attract more attention. The pharmacological exploitation of the PDE’s ability to regulate cGMP and cAMP, and through them, a variety of signaling pathways, has led to a number of new drugs for diverse applications from the treatment of erectile dysfunction to heart failure, asthma, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. We present the abstracts (available online) and selected articles from the proceedings of a meeting that took place at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Bethesda, MD, June 8–10, 2011.

Whats a chemical change
Salsk061 [2.6K]

chemical changes occur when a substance combines with another to form a new substance called chemical synthesis or alternatively chemical decomposition into two or more different substances these processes are called chemical reactions and in general are not reversible except by further chemical reactions
