Answer:

A new substance was formed

Explanation:

According to this question, a shiny and flexible metal called Magnesium (Mg) is burnt in air to produce a white powder that has no shiny or flexible properties, however, has more weight than the magnesium metal itself.

This is possible because a CHEMICAL CHANGE has occured, hence, a new substance has been formed. The formation of a new substance during the burning process (chemical reaction), induced the increase in mass.

A piece of wood is floating in a bathtub. A second piece of wood sits on top of the first piece, and does not touch the water. I

Mashutka [201]

Answer:

the water level remains same

Explanation:

This can be explained by Archimedes's principle which says that the wood will sink if weight of wood is more than the weight of the water displaced with weight equal to the water displaced otherwise the wood will float.

Therefore, buoyancy or the buoyant force is the same as the weight of wood, the weight of the water displaced by wood is also the same as that of the weight of wood.

Thus, we can see that the weight of the wood remains same and so is the level of water.

A balloon is filled to a volume of 7.00*10^2 mL at a temperature of 20.0°C. The balloon is then cooled at constant pressure to a

wolverine [178]

The final volume of the gas is 238.9 mL

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using Charle's law, which states that for a gas kept at constant pressure, the volume of the gas (V) is proportional to its absolute temperature (T):

$\frac{V}{T}=const.$

Which can be also re-written as

$\frac{V_1}{T_1}=\frac{V_2}{T_2}$

where

$V_1, V_2$ are the initial and final volumes of the gas

$T_1, T_2$ are the initial and final temperature of the gas

For the gas in the balloon in this problem, we have:

$V_1 = 7.00\cdot 10^2 mL = 700 mL$ is the initial volume

$T_1=20.0^{\circ}C+273=293 K$ is the initial absolute temperature

$V_2$ is the final volume

$T_2 = 1.00\cdot 10^2 K = 100 K$ is the final temperature

Solving for $V_2$ ,

$V_2 = \frac{V_1 T_2}{T_1}=\frac{(700)(100)}{293}=238.9 mL$

Discribe the law of reflection

aniked [119]

Answer:

the angle of reflection equals the angle of incidence—θr = θi. The angles are measured relative to the perpendicular to the surface at the point where the ray strikes the surface.

Explanation:

A microscope uses a mirror to reflect light to the specimen under the microscope. ... An astronomical reflecting telescope uses a large parabolic mirror to gather dim light from distant stars. A plane mirror is used to reflect the image to the eyepiece.
