Energy is required to change the phase of a substance, such as the energy to break the bonds between molecules in a block of ice so it may melt.
During a phase change energy my be added or subtracted from a system, but the temperature will not change. The temperature will change only when the phase change has completed. No temperature change occurs from heat transfer if ice melts and becomes liquid water (i.e., during a phase change). For example, consider water dripping from icicles melting on a roof warmed by the Sun. Conversely, water freezes in an ice tray cooled by lower-temperature surroundings. Energy is required to melt a solid because the cohesive bonds between the molecules in the solid must be broken apart so that the molecules can move around at comparable kinetic energies; thus, there is no rise in temperature.
Light does not travel at a constant speed in a vacuum, compared to in air, because the light is being absorbed by atoms and molecules in the air. But light does travel at a constant speed in a vacuum.
So I agree with A
All that talk about moving forward is irrelevant (I think)
The correct answer is option C, 5.02 x 10²² carbon atoms
Atomic mass of C = 12 g/mol
According to Avogadro, 1 mole of C has 6.023 x 10²³C atoms
Now 1 mole of C is equal to 12 g
Therefore, 12 g of C = 6.023 x 10²³ C atoms
1 g of C =
C atoms = 5.02 x 10²² C atoms
<span>The first method to determine the chemical composition of a substance in space was using light. By determining red shift in the observed spectrum of light they could determine the elements they were observing. Different elements change the way light behaves and from this scientists can determine the makeup of things such as stars and nebulas.</span>
Answer:
Their average kinetic energy increases
Explanation:
The average kinetic energy of the rice molecules increases as the pot is left on the cooking stove.
Heat is transferred to the pot by conduction from the heat source. The heat is then transferred to the rice in the cooking pot by convection.
- As the water in the pot heats up.
- The rice gains thermal energy.
- This causes the molecules of the rice particles to start vibrating.
- As the molecules vibrate about their fixed position, their thermal energy continues to increase.
- Therefore, the amount of heat absorbed by the rice increases with time and this actually cooks the food.
