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.

Sort the phrases pertaining to pure substances and mixtures as either true or false.
Lynna [10]
You have to note that pure substances can be elements or compounds. There is only one component all throughout. On the other hand, a mixture is a combination of different elements and compounds. They can appear in different phases. For example, air is a mixture. It is composed of pure substances of oxygen, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen.

67.4 L of sulfur dioxide (SO2) gas at 0.0C and at 1 atm of pressure is equivalent aren’t to how many moles?
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Solution here,

Volume(V)=67.4 L

Pressure(P)=1 atm

Temperature(T)=(0+273)K=273K

Universal gas constant(R)=0.0821 L.atm.mol^-1K^-1

No. of moles(n)=?

Now,

PV=nRT

or, 1×67.4=n×0.0821×273

or, 67.4=22.4n

or, n=67.4/22.4

or, n=3

therefore, required no. of mole is 3.

When the following equation is balanced using the smallest possible integers, what is the number in front of the substance in bo
weeeeeb [17]

The balanced equation :

8Al + 3Fe₃O₄→ 4Al₂O₃ + 9Fe

You just have to look for which element is in bold because the question is not clear

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Equalization of chemical reaction equations can be done using variables. Steps in equalizing the reaction equation:

1. gives a coefficient on substances involved in the equation of reaction such as a, b, or c etc.

2. make an equation based on the similarity of the number of atoms where the number of atoms = coefficient × index between reactant and product

3. Select the coefficient of the substance with the most complex chemical formula equal to 1

Reaction

Al + Fe₃O₄→ Al₂O₃ + Fe

give a coefficient

aAl + Fe₃O₄→ bAl₂O₃ + cFe

O, left=4, right=3b⇒3b=4⇒b=4/3

Al, left=a, right=2b⇒a=2b⇒a=2.4/3⇒a=8/3

Fe, left=3, right=c⇒c=3

The equation becomes :

8/3Al + Fe₃O₄→ 4/3Al₂O₃ + 3Fe x3

8Al + 3Fe₃O₄→ 4Al₂O₃ + 9Fe
