Answer:

All three states of matter (solid, liquid and gas) expand when heated. The atoms themselves do not expand, but the volume they take up does.

When a solid is heated, its atoms vibrate faster about their fixed points. The relative increase in the size of solids when heated is therefore small. Metal railway tracks have small gaps so that when the sun heats them, the tracks expand into these gaps and don’t buckle.

Liquids expand for the same reason, but because the bonds between separate molecules are usually less tight they expand more than solids. This is the principle behind liquid-in-glass thermometers. An increase in temperature results in the expansion of the liquid which means it rises up the glass.

Molecules within gases are further apart and weakly attracted to each other. Heat causes the molecules to move faster, (heat energy is converted to kinetic energy) which means that the volume of a gas increases more than the volume of a solid or liquid.

However, gases that are contained in a fixed volume cannot expand - and so increases in temperature result in increases in pressure.:

Which of the following rules should you follow to balance chemical equations?

Firdavs [7]

Answer:

c. add coefficients as needed

Explanation:

A chemical equation is defined as the equation that shows changes in a chemical reaction. A chemical equation consist of reactant and product, reactant is at left side of the arrow and product is at right side of the arrow.

Reactant => Product

While balancing a chemical equation, the basic rule is to balance the coefficient as required. Coefficient represents the number of molecules and is used at front of a chemical symbol. Change in coefficient helps balance the number of atoms or molecules of the substances on both the sides of the arrow.

Subscripts are never allowed to change because it can change the chemical involved in the reaction.

Hence, the correct answer is "c. add coefficients as needed".

Assuming an electron is a hydrogen atom can undergo any of the transitions below, thus changing its energy. Which transition is

inn [45]

Answer:

n = 3 to n = 5

Explanation:

According to the Bohr's model of the atom, electrons in an atom absorb energy to move from a lower to higher energy level.

We must note that as we progress away from the nucleus, the energy levels of electrons become closer together. The energy difference between successive levels decreases and the wavelength of light associated with such transitions become longer.

Hence,the absorption of light of the longest wavelength corresponds to n = 3 to n = 5

A tank contains 90 kg of salt and 2000 L of water. Pure water enters a tank at the rate 6 L/min. The solution is mixed and drain

sashaice [31]

Answer:

a) 90 kg

b) 68.4 kg

c) 0 kg/L

Explanation:

Mass balance:

$-w=\frac{dm}{dt}$

w is the mass flow

m is the mass of salt

$-v*C=\frac{dm}{dt}$

v is the volume flow

C is the concentration

$C=\frac{m}{V+(6-3)*L/min*t}$

$-v*\frac{m}{V+(6-3)*L/min*t}=\frac{dm}{dt}$

$-3*L/min*\frac{m}{2000L+(3)*L/min*t}=\frac{dm}{dt}$

$-3*L/min*\frac{dt}{2000L+(3)*L/min*t}=\frac{dm}{m}$

$-3*L/min*\int_{0}^{t}\frac{dt}{2000L+(3)*L/min*t}=\int_{90kg}^{m}\frac{dm}{m}$

$-[ln(2000L+3*L/min*t)-ln(2000L)]=ln(m)-ln(90kg)$

$-ln[(2000L+3*L/min*t)/2000L]=ln(m/90kg)$

$m=90kg*[2000L/(2000L+3*L/min*t)]$

a) Initially: t=0

$m=90kg*[2000L/(2000L+3*L/min*0)]=90kg$

b) t=210 min (3.5 hr)

$m=90kg*[2000L/(2000L+3*L/min*210min)]=68.4kg$

c) If time trends to infinity the division trends to 0 and, therefore, m trends to 0. So, the concentration at infinit time is 0 kg/L.

Explain Rutherford Bohr model?

Liula [17]

Answer:

heya!!!

Explanation:

In atomic physics, the Rutherford–Bohr model or Bohr model, presented by Niels Bohr and Ernest Rutherford in 1913, is a system consisting of a small, dense nucleus surrounded by orbiting electrons—similar to the structure of the Solar System, but with attraction provided by electrostatic forces in place of gravity.
