3 0

Answer:

30.0 L.

Explanation:

To solve this problem; we must mention the rule states the no. of millimoles of a substance before and after dilution is the same.

<em>(MV)before dilution = (MV)after dilution</em>

M before dilution = 5.0 M, V before dilution = 3.0 L.

M after dilution = 0.5 M, V after dilution = ??? L.

∵ (MV)before dilution = (MV)after dilution

∴ (5.0 M)(3.0 L) = (0.5 M)(V after dilution)

<em>∴ V after dilution = (5.0 M)(3.0 L)/(0.5 M) = 30.0 L.</em>

A cooling curve has two flat lines, or plateaus. What does the plateau at the higher temperature represent?

Answer:

It is in the state of "thermal arrest"

Explanation:

The temperature stays constant during the phase change process . This is because the matter has more internal energy and heat has to be taken away for the solidification process to begin. The energy that is required for a phase change is know as latent heat (which is the energy released or absorbed by a body during a thermodynamic process).
