Aluminium requires the smaller container !

Answer:

Aluminum

Explanation:

It is given that:

Mass of sugar = Mass of aluminum

The volume occupied by the two substances can be deduced from their densities.

Density of a substance is a constant and given by the ratio of its mass to volume.

Density = \frac{Mass}{Volume}

Volume = \frac{Mass}{Density}

Density of aluminum = 2.7 g/cm3

Density of Sugar = 1.59 g/cm3

Since the masses are equal we have:

\frac{Volume\ Aluminum}{Volume\ Sugar} = \frac{Density\ sugar}{Density\ Aluminum} = \frac{1.59}{2.7} = 0.59

Volume of Aluminum = 0.59 (Volume of sugar)

Therefore, aluminum will require a container of smaller volume

A student is doing an experiment to determine the effects of temperature on an object. He writes down that the initial temperatu
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

1) The Kelvin temperature cannot be negative

2) The Kelvin degree is written as K, not ºK

Explanation:

The temperature of an object can be written using different temperature scales.

The two most important scales are:

- Celsius scale: the Celsius degree is indicated with ºC. It is based on the freezing point of water (placed at 0ºC) and the boiling point of water (100ºC).

- Kelvin scale: the Kelvin is indicated with K. it is based on the concept of "absolute zero" temperature, which is the temperature at which matter stops moving, and it is placed at zero Kelvin (0 K), so this scale cannot have negative temperatures, since 0 K is the lowest possible temperature.

The expression to convert from Celsius degrees to Kelvin is:

T(K)=T(^{\circ}C)+273.15

Therefore  in this problem, since the student reported a temperature of -3.5 ºK, the errors done are:

1) The Kelvin temperature cannot be negative

2) The Kelvin degree is written as K, not ºK

State whether the following statement is true.justify the answer with examples
Ilya [14]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Atoms only achieve complete outer electron shells if they contain an outer shell with 7 electrons before gaining another electron or an outer shell with 1 electron before losing an electron. This is assuming that the octet-rule can be applied to said atom. In addition, the number of valence electrons varies from atom to atom which is why not ALL atoms achieve complete outer electron shells after gaining or losing just ONE electron.

Answer:

  C  The experiment shows that the red substance experienced a chemical change.

Explanation:

Apparently, adding heat caused the red substance to decompose into a gas and a metallic liquid. If it were simply a phase change, the original red substance could be expected to return when the temperature cooled. Because the substance apparently decomposed, it is clearly not an element. At no point in the experiment is there any evidence of a plasma being formed.

The observed decomposition is a chemical change.

Which of the following terms is a term that could refer to heterogeneous matter? a. element b. mixture c. compound d. solution
kupik [55]

Answer : b. mixture

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Element and compound are included in pure substance where the composition is the same in each part

Elements are made up of 1 type of atom, while the compounds of 2 or more types of atoms , both can be represented in the form of chemical symbols

A mixture is a combination of substances. The properties of a substance in the mixture component are unchanged

The mixture can be a homogeneous mixture or a heterogeneous mixture

  • the homogeneous mixture if each part has the same composition
  • the heterogeneous mixture if each part has a different composition

Solution including into Homogeneous mixture, while suspension into a heterogeneous mixture

So a term that could refer to heterogeneous matter : b. mixture
