Why is melting ice cream a physical?

2 answers:

5 0

Ice cream melting is a physical and reversible change because it is a solid and the sun's heat is making it melt into a liquid. It is reversible because it is able to change back its state into a solid with the heat taken away. Reversible changes is a change in a substance that can be reversed.

Frozen yogurt dissolving is a physical and reversible change since it is a strong and the sun's warmth is making it soften into a fluid. It is reversible since it can change back its state into a strong with the warmth removed. Reversible changes is an adjustment in a substance that can be switched.

Melting ice cream is a physical change because it is a phase change, the water in the ice cream gains thermal energy and the inter-molecular forces are overcome and the molecules move further apart forming a liquid. It is not a chemical change because no chemical reactions occurred.

If you add a solution of NaOH to a solution of H₂CO₃, two reactions occur, one after the other. Write the chemical equations for

Crazy boy [7]

We have a solution of NaOH and H₂CO₃

First, NaOH will dissociate into Na⁺ and OH⁻ ions

The Na⁺ ion will substitute one of the Hydrogen atoms on H₂CO₃ to form NaHCO₃

The H⁺ released from the substitution will bond with the OH⁻ ion to form a water molecule

If there were to be another NaOH molecule, a similar substitution will take place, substituting the second hydrogen from H₂CO₃ as well to form Na₂CO₃

Suppose you have a mixture of copper sulfate (CuSO4) and azulene (C10H8, you may wish to know the structure of azulene). Both co

iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

Aqueous layer (1 M HCI)

Explanation:

First of us I want to remind you of the cliché in chemistry that like dissolves like. In solvent extraction, a mixture is dissolved in a system consisting of two immiscible solvents. One layer is organic while the other layer is aqueous.

Polar substances partition in the aqueous layer while nonpolar substances partition in the organic layer.

Since Copper sulfate is ionic, we will find it in the aqueous layer according to the old chemistry cliche.

Is o-toluic acid soluble in ether, NaOH?, Is Napthalene soluble in NaOH?

natima [27]

Yes, o-toluic acid is soluble in ether as ether is slightly polar and it is soluble in NaOH because it is likely to form soluble compounds with it.

Naphthalene is insoluble in NaOH.

Which of the following statements is incorrect? A. Molecular mass is expressed in atomic mass units. B. Formula mass compares th

n200080 [17]

Answer:

The incorrect statement is the choice C. Atomic mass has units of grams per atom.

Explanation:

1) Choice A. Molecular mass is expressed in atomic mass units.

Correct. Atomic mass units (a.m.u) is the standard unit used to express the mass of the atoms and the molecules.

Since, one atom, molecule, or formula unit is a tiny amount of material, it has a ver, very low mass, and the unit mass of a molecule is referred to one mole (6.022 × 10²³ units).

2) Choice B. Formula mass compares the mass of one formula unit of a substance to the mass of one atom of carbon-12.

Correct. The masses of atoms and compounds are referred to a standard. Such standard is the carbon-12 atom. This is, the cabon-12 atom was selected as the standard and its exact mass is 12 a.m.u.

3) Choice C. Atomic mass has units of grams per atom.

Incorrect. Atomic mass is the mass of the atoms, but, since, the mass of one atom is so small, the atomic mass is referred to one mole. Hence, the atomic mass has units of grams per mole.

4) Choice D. Both molecular mass and formula mass use carbon-12 as a reference standard.

Correct. As stated when explaining the option B, the mass of atoms, molecules, and formula units are referred to carbon-12 standard.

5) Choice E. Sodium chloride, an ionic compound, is said to have a formula weight, but not a molecular weight.

Correct. The reason is that ionic compounds form large structures (crystals) and, since there is not such thing as one molecule of them, they are said to have formula weight (or mass) but not a molecular weight.

The name molecules is reserved for covalent compounds, where you can formally identify molecules. E.g. Water is a molecular compound, and each molecule has molecular formula H₂O, whose mass is the molecular mass.
