Answer:

It's all about understanding the concept, see my explanation.

Explanation:

A ionic bond is formed between a metal element and a non metal element always. On the other hand, a molecular bond or covalent bond is formed between 2 elements which are both non metals. A ionic bond is made when there is a electron transfer occurring meaning that one element is giving it's electron to another to ethier become a postive or negative ion. Whereas a molecular bond is made when two non metals elements share there electrons.

• An example of a ionic bond would be MgCl2 as we know magnesium is a metal and chlorine is a non metal.

• An example of a molecular bond would be NF

which we know are both non metals.

Why does the flame go out on the Bunsen burner when the gas is turned off? (use the collision theory in your answer)

Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Well the gas is the fuel for the flame of course. The collision theory comes into play when the gas turns on, chemicals collide with one another. Then reactions occur causing the flame. Then when you take away the fuel, the flame stops because there is no atoms or molecules to come together/collide with one another.

Sorry if its wrong or doesn't make sense... Wish you the best of luck on whatever your doing!

Object A specific heat is 2.45 J/g C and object B specific heat is 0.82 J/g C. Which object will heat up more if they have the s

Artist 52 [7]

Answer: Object B will heat up more.

Explanation:

The formula for specific heat is as follows.

Q = $m C \Delta T$

Where,

Q = heat provided

m = mass

C = specific heat

$\Delta T$ = change in temperature

Now, both the objects have same mass and equal amount of heat is applied.

According to the formula, the equation will be as follows.

$Q_{1}$ = $Q_{2}$

$m C_{1}\Delta T$ = $m C_{2}\Delta T_{2}$

Cancel m from both sides, as mass is same. Therefore,

$C_{1} (T_{f} - T_{i})_A$ = $C_{2}(T_{f} - T_{i})_B$

Cancel out the initial temperature and put the values of specific heat, then the equation will be as follows.

$2.45 (T_{f})_A$ = $0.82(T_{f})_B$

Therefore, from the above equation it can be concluded that the object with low specific heat will heat up more as its specific heat will be inversely proportional to its final temperature.

Hence, object B will heat up more.

PLEASE HELP WHAT IS THE CORRECT ANSWER (if possible let me know why)

ANTONII [103]

Answer:I’m not 100% sure but I think it’s the first answer.

Explanation:

The pressure would increase as the molecules are pushing out word more and more, leading to more space being taken and more pressure. But then again, I’m not sure. I’m just a freshman with below average grades.
