Explain how steam causes burns by describing the transfer of heat.

Chemistry
1 answer:
erica [24]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

It will be : (in simple terms)

Condensation of hot steam or hot vapor on the cooler skin releases the water's latent heat of vaporization, rapidly raising the temperature of the skin which will result in steam burns.

Hope it helped

All the best!!

For which of these processes is the value of ΔH expected to be negative?I. The temperature (of water) increases when calcium chl
Marina CMI [18]

Answer: B.) I, II, and III

Explanation:

Exothermic reactions are defined as the reactions in which energy of the product is lesser than the energy of the reactants. The total energy is released in the form of heat and \Delta H for the reaction comes out to be negative.

Endothermic reactions are defined as the reactions in which energy of the product is greater than the energy of the reactants. The total energy is absorbed in the form of heat and \Delta H for the reaction comes out to be positive.

I) The temperature (of water) increases when calcium chloride dissolves in water : Thus the reaction is exothermic and  \Delta H for the reaction comes out to be negative.

II)  Steam condenses to liquid water : The energy is released when bonds are formed when it coverts from gas to liquid and thus \Delta H for the reaction comes out to be negative.

III) Water freezes : The energy is released when bonds are formed to get converted from liquid to solid and thus \Delta H for the reaction comes out to be negative.

IV) Dry ice sublimes : The energy is absorbed when bonds are broken to get converted from solid to gas and thus \Delta H for the reaction comes out to be positive.

Which formula represents a molecular compound?<br> (1) Kr (3) N2O4<br> (2) LiOH (4) NaI
weeeeeb [17]
N2O4 is the only option from the list that represents a molecular compound, since compounds must contain at least two different atoms, although these can be from different groups.

andrezito [222]
To answer this question, we will use pressure law which states that:
"At constant volume of a fixed mass of gas, the pressure of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature"

This means that:
Pi / Ti = Pf / Tf where:
Pi is the initial pressure = 1 atm
Ti is the initial temperature = 100 + 273 = 373 degree kelvin
Pf is the final pressure that we want to calculate
Tf is the final temperature = 139 + 273 = 412 degree kelvin

Substitute in the equation with the givens to calculate the pressure as follows:
1 / 373 = Pf / 412
Pf = (1/373) * 412 = 1.104557641 atm
