What causes convection currents in a gas or liquid?​

Chemistry

Answer:

Convection currents are caused by a temperature difference in gases and liquids. As one area becomes warmer than another the molecules have more energy and start vibrating more vigorously thus spreading out and becoming less dense. This means that the less dense parts will become more buoyant causing them to rise.

Sphinxa [80]
The reaction is a displacement reaction. Iron is more reactive than copper. Hence, it displaces copper,forming iron II sulfate and copper metal. 
This reaction is an exothermic reaction, hence it releases energy. The colour change indicates that iron has displaced copper.

How many atoms of zirconium are in 0.3521 mol of zirconium?
lora16 [44]

Answer:

2.12×10²³ atoms.

Explanation:

From Avogadro's hypothesis, we understood that 1 mole of any substance contains 6.02×10²³ atoms. This simply means that 1 mole of zirconium also 6.02×10²³ atoms.

Thus, we can obtain the number of atoms present in 0.3521 mole of zirconium as follow:

1 mole of zirconium also 6.02×10²³ atoms.

Therefore, 0.3521 mole of zirconium will contain = 0.3521 × 6.02×10²³ = 2.12×10²³ atoms.

Therefore, 0.3521 mole of zirconium contains 2.12×10²³ atoms.

Bond [772]

Answer:

The correct answer is D

Explanation:

Ice is a solid, so if heat is added to it the ice will melt causing it to form into a liquid, once the ice turns into a liquid, it begins to turn into gas.

A gas is at 5 Kelvin and 1 m3. The temperature is raised to 10 Kelvin. What is the new volume?2 m32 m5 m
Alja [10]

For this question, suppose the pressure is remained constant, we can use the Charles law to find the answer.


Charles law:

V1/T1 = V2/T2


V1 and T1 are the initial volume and temperature (in K), and V2 and T2 are the final volume and temperature.


We just need to substitute in the numbers in order to find the new volume, V2.

1/5 = V2/10

5V2 = 10

V2 = 2


Therefore, the answer would be 2m3.
