they could be different types of minerals, so one reacted to the energy differently than the other one. and pls answer my latest questions its due by 11:59 pm TONIGHT or i get kicked out of school.. pls help..

Answer:

Mineral A's molecules had a high level of attraction before. As well as the molecules in mineral B. But, mineral A's molecules, probably had higher kinetic energy. Which means a higher temperature and faster-moving molecules. Which allowed it to spread more and since it spread more, it became a liquid. Mineral B might have had not that much kinetic energy so the temperature was colder and its molecules moved slower. That's why probably mineral A changed to a liquid while mineral B remained a Solid.

1. Show that heat flows spontaneously from high temperature to low temperature in any isolated system (hint: use entropy change

Inga [223]

Answer:

1 ) Δs ( entropy change for hot block ) = - Q / th ( -ve shows heat lost to cold block )

Δs ( entropy change for cold block ) = Q / tc

∴ Total Δs = ΔSc + ΔSh

= Q/tc - Q/th

2) ΔSdecomposition = Δh / Temp = ( 181.6 * 10^3 / 773 ) = 234.928 J/k

Explanation:

<u>1) To show that heat flows spontaneously from high temperature to low temperature </u>

example :

Pick two(2) solid metal blocks with varying temperatures ( i.e. one solid block is hot and the other solid block is cold )

Place both blocks for time (t ) in an insulated system to reduce heat loss or gain to or from the environment

Check the temperature of both blocks after time ( t ) it will be observed that both blocks will have same temperature after time t ( first law of thermodynamics )

Δs ( entropy change for hot block ) = - Q / th ( -ve shows heat lost to cold block )

Δs ( entropy change for cold block ) = Q / tc

∴ Total Δs = ΔSc + ΔSh

= Q/tc - Q/th

<u>2) Entropy change for Decomposition of mercuric oxide </u>

2HgO (s) → 2Hg(l) + O₂ (g)

Δs = positive

there is transition from solid to liquid and the melting point of mercury ( the point at which reaction will take place ) = 500⁰C

hence ΔSdecomposition = S⁻ Hg - S⁻ HgO =

Δh of reaction = 181.6 KJ

Temp = 500 + 273 = 773 k

hence ΔSdecomposition = Δh / Temp = ( 181.6 * 10^3 / 773 ) = 234.928 J/k

A sample of an uranium compound is found to be losing mass gradually. Explain what is happening to the sample.

yan [13]

Answer:

The uranium in the sample of the compound is radioactive

Explanation:

Some atoms can split on their own. Some split when bombarded by energetic particles. Such atoms are said to be radioactive.

Radioactivity is borne out of the drive of an atom to reach stabillity. Every atom have a specific neutron/proton ratio which ensures stability of the nucleus. A nucleus with a stability ratio different from that which makes it stable will become unstable and split into one or more other nuclei with emissons of energetic particles.

Note: neutrons and protons dictates the mass of an atom. They are located in the nucleus which is the site for nuclear radioactive reactions.

when you started the activity, the can was open to the air outside tge can. how did the air pressure inside the can compare to t

aliya0001 [1]

The air pressure inside the can is lower compared to that of outside air pressure.

Explanation:

In general, the air pressure of an already opened can will be the same as the outside pressure.
Since the can is evacuated and remain as vacuum, so there will be no pressure difference in it.
If the can opens, air inside the can push the top and escapes to the outside.
This is due to high pressure experienced outside the can compare to that of lower pressure inside the can and this may even cause can to collapse itself.

Which of the following statements is true? Protons have a mass that contributes significantly to the mass of the atomic nucleus.

Lunna [17]

The following statements from the paragraph are true. Protons have a mass that contributes significantly to the mass of the atomic nucleus. Neutrons have a mass that contributes significantly to the mass of the atomic nucleus. Electrons have a very low mass and are not found in the nucleus but instead are found in surrounding orbits.

In the Bohr model, ____ electrons fill the first energy level, ____ electrons fill the second energy level, and ___ electrons fi

Setler [38]

The answer is d Thus, the first energy level holds 2 * 1^2 = 2 electrons, while the second holds 2 * 2^2 = 8 electrons. Each orbital. The third energy level can hold up to 18 electrons, meaning that it is not full when it has only electrons.
