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.

How Many Significant Figures are there in 505

cupoosta [38]

Answer:

there are three significant digits.

Explanation:

Thus, 21.8, 0.283 and 567 all have three significant digits. 2. Zeros appearing between non-zero digits are significant. Thus, 505 and 0.206 have three significant digits, while 50,005 has five significant digits. (from google)

Chlorine has two naturally occurring isotopes, 35C1 Gsotopic mass 34.9689 amu) and 370 (isotopic mass 36.9659 amu). If chlorine

Lilit [14]

Answer: The percentage abundance of $_{17}^{35}\textrm{Cl}$ and $_{17}^{37}\textrm{Cl}$ isotopes are 75.77% and 24.23% respectively.

Explanation:

Average atomic mass of an element is defined as the sum of masses of each isotope each multiplied by their natural fractional abundance.

Formula used to calculate average atomic mass follows:

$\text{Average atomic mass }=\sum_{i=1}^n\text{(Atomic mass of an isotopes)}_i\times \text{(Fractional abundance})_i$ .....(1)

Let the fractional abundance of $_{17}^{35}\textrm{Cl}$ isotope be 'x'. So, fractional abundance of $_{17}^{37}\textrm{Cl}$ isotope will be '1 - x'

For $_{17}^{35}\textrm{Cl}$ isotope:

Mass of $_{17}^{35}\textrm{Cl}$ isotope = 34.9689 amu

Fractional abundance of $_{17}^{35}\textrm{Cl}$ isotope = x

For $_{17}^{37}\textrm{Cl}$ isotope:

Mass of $_{17}^{37}\textrm{Cl}$ isotope = 36.9659 amu

Fractional abundance of $_{17}^{37}\textrm{Cl}$ isotope = 1 - x

Average atomic mass of chlorine = 35.4527 amu

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$35.4527=[(34.9689\times x)+(36.9659\times (1-x))]\\\\x=0.7577$

Percentage abundance of $_{17}^{35}\textrm{Cl}$ isotope = $0.7577\times 100=75.77\%$

Percentage abundance of $_{17}^{37}\textrm{Cl}$ isotope = $(1-0.7577)=0.2423\times 100=24.23\%$

Hence, the percentage abundance of $_{17}^{35}\textrm{Cl}$ and $_{17}^{37}\textrm{Cl}$ isotopes are 75.77% and 24.23% respectively.

What does control mean in scientific method

saw5 [17]

Answer:

A scientific control is an experiment or observation designed to minimize the effects of variables other than the independent variable. This increases the reliability of the results, often through a comparison between control measurements and the other measurements.A scientific control is an experiment or observation designed to minimize the effects of variables other than the independent variable.
