Explain the process of anomalous expansion of water​

Physics
1 answer:
Kay [80]3 years ago
8 0

The anomalous expansion of water refers to the fact that water, unlike most substances, expands when it freezes. The density of water increases as temperature decreases but reaches a maximum at 4° C then begins to expand.

When liquid water is cooled, it contracts like one would expect until a temperature of approximately 4 degrees Celsius is reached. After that, it expands slightly until it reaches the freezing point, and then when it freezes it expands by approximately 9%.

Which is an IUPAC name for a covalent compound
Elena L [17]
In naming covalent compound (binary) based in IUPAC naming, we have 4 rules to be followed:

1. The first element of the formula will use the normal name of the given element. for example: CO2 ( Carbon Dioxide), Carbon is the element name of the first element of the formula.

2. The second element is named as if they are treated like an anion but put in mind that these are no ions in a covalent compound but we put -ide on the second element as if it is an anion.

3. Prefixes are used to indicate the number of atom of the elements in the compound. for example: mono- 1 atom, di- 2atoms, tri- 3 atoms and etc

4. Prefix "mono"is never used in naming the first element. For example: Carbon dioxide, there should be no monocarbon dioxide.

Which part of earths surface has the greatest rotational speed
Anni [7]
Every point on the surface must have the same rotational speed.
Otherwise some places would rotate away from other places.

If the next block of your city rotated faster than the block that you live on,
then you could sit at home, look out the window, and watch your school
rotate past your house.

The map of the continents on the Earth would change constantly.
