Answer: A

Explanation: mechanical weathering —Water gets into the cracks, freezes and expands making the cracks bigger. When there is thawing, the ice melts into water and more water gets into the rock. Freezing can happen again and the cracks get bigger.

A 35.0 g piece of metal wire is heated, and the temperature changes from 21 degrees Celsius to 52 degrees Celsius. The amount of

Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

1.23 j/g. °C

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of metal = 35.0 g

Initial temperature = 21 °C

Final temperature = 52°C

Amount of heat absorbed = 320 cal (320 ×4.184 = 1338.88 j)

Specific heat capacity of metal = ?

Solution:

Specific heat capacity:

It is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of substance by one degree.

Formula:

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = amount of heat absorbed or released

m = mass of given substance

c = specific heat capacity of substance

ΔT = change in temperature

ΔT = 52°C - 21 °C

ΔT = 31°C

1338.88 j= 35 g ×c× 31°C

1338.88 j= 1085 g.°C ×c

1338.88 j/1085 g.°C = c

1.23 j/g. °C = c

A gas made up of atoms escapes through a pinhole times as fast as gas. Write the chemical formula of the gas.

Artemon [7]

A gas made up of atoms escapes through a pinhole 0.225times as fast as gas. Write the chemical formula of the gas.

Answer:

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we must apply Graham's law of diffusion. This law states that "the rate of diffusion or effusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its molecular mass at constant temperature and pressure".

Mathematically;

$\frac{r_{1} }{r_{2} } = \frac{\sqrt{m_{2} } }{\sqrt{m_{1} } }$

r₁ is the rate of diffusion of gas 1

r₂ is the rate of diffusion of gas 2

m₁ is the molar mass of gas 1

m₂ is the molar mass of gas 2

let gas 2 be the given H₂;

molar mass of H₂ = 2 x 1 = 2gmol⁻¹

rate of diffusion is 0.225;

i .e r1/r2 = 0.225

0.225 = √2 / √ m₁

0.225 = 1.414 / √ m₁

√ m₁ = 6.3

m₁ = 6.3² = 39.5g/mol

The gas is likely Argon since argon has similar molecular mass

Both white phosphorus and red phosphorus are made up only of phosphorus atoms.Does this mean they are both pure substances? Coul

choli [55]

True, both of the red and white phosphorus is a pure substance.

Both red and white phosphorus is made of phosphor element but they have a different structure which causes them to have a different color. This phenomenon called allotropes when a chemical element has two or more different form.They are not compounds as they are only made of phosphorus. A compound should be made by at least two different elements.
