Energy is required to change the phase of a substance, such as the energy to break the bonds between molecules in a block of ice so it may melt.
During a phase change energy my be added or subtracted from a system, but the temperature will not change. The temperature will change only when the phase change has completed. No temperature change occurs from heat transfer if ice melts and becomes liquid water (i.e., during a phase change). For example, consider water dripping from icicles melting on a roof warmed by the Sun. Conversely, water freezes in an ice tray cooled by lower-temperature surroundings. Energy is required to melt a solid because the cohesive bonds between the molecules in the solid must be broken apart so that the molecules can move around at comparable kinetic energies; thus, there is no rise in temperature.
Answer:
hydrogen
Explanation:
The gas with the least molecular weight effuses the fastest (Graham's Law). Hence, H gas has a higher rate of diffusion compared to N, O, and Cl.
So, Cl is the slowest when it comes to the rate of diffusion, because it has the highest molecular weight.
Almost all catalysts work by lowering the activation energy of the reaction with no change in the free energy of the reaction
- So in this case we can say that palladium reduce automobile pollution by catalyzing the reaction between un-burned hydrocarbons and oxygen :
D. by decreasing the activation energy
Answer :
The atomic mass is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom.
Explanation :
Atomic number : it is defined as the number of protons or number of electrons.
Atomic number = number of protons = number of electrons
Mass number or atomic mass : It is defined as the sum of the number of protons and the number of neutrons.
Mass number or atomic mass = Number of protons + Number of neutrons
For example :
Number of protons in carbon = 6
Number of neutrons in carbon = 6
Mass number or atomic mass = Number of protons + Number of neutrons
Mass number or atomic mass = 6 + 6
Mass number or atomic mass = 12
Thus, the atomic mass is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom.
