How can a substance stay at a certain temperature even though it is being heated?​

The temperature of a certain substance can be seen as the average speed of the atoms or molecules in that substance. In the liquid state of a substance the forces between the atoms or molecules are strong enough to keep them together, however with enough freedom to move, unlike in the solid state. If we would have a closer look at the surface of a liquid from sideways, we would see water molecules jumping out of the water and reentering it again. The lower the water temperature would be the lesser the amount of water molecules leaving the liquid phase would be. If water would be heated up and the temperature will reach 100 degrees C at normal atmospheric pressure, more water molecules would leave the water than reentering. Boiling has started. The temperature of the water remains at 100 degrees C, if the heating continues as the average speed of molecules will not increase, only the rate of molecules leaving the water will increase, until all the water in liquid state has been vapourized. The amount of heat needed to vapourize liquid water is called latent heat. Latent heat is a very important driving factor in the atmosphere and thus the weather.

Answer:

Solid Osmium transition metal reacts with Oxygen gas to produce solid Osmium tetroxide.

Os(s) + 2O₂(g) -> OsO₄(s)

Explanation:

Osmium tetroxide is another way of writing Osmium (VIII) oxide.

Leaving powdered osmium exposed to air in a room will slowly create osmium tetroxide at room temperature.

Similarly, osmium tetroxide vapor will readily be released from a liquid solution at room temperature.

Solid aluminum metal reacts with aqueous zinc chloride to produce solid zinc metal and aqueous aluminum chloride
yuradex [85]

Answer:

2Al + 3ZnCl₂    →    3Zn + 2AlCl₃

Explanation:

Chemical equation:

Al + ZnCl₂    →    Zn + AlCl₃

Balanced Chemical equation:

2Al + 3ZnCl₂    →    3Zn + 2AlCl₃

This is the example of single displacement reaction. Al displace the zinc and form aluminium chloride and zinc metal.

There are two Al three zinc and six chlorine atoms on both side of equation so it is correctly balanced.

Thus it completely follow the law of conservation of mass.

Law of conservation of mass:

According to the law of conservation mass, mass can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical equation.

This law was given by french chemist  Antoine Lavoisier in 1789. According to this law mass of reactant and mass of product must be equal, because masses are not created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.

the elements iron and oxygen can react to form the compound iron oxide. what type of reaction is this? please explain.
rjkz [21]
Your reaction
.. Fe + O2 ---> FexOy
for this reaction..
.. the Fe on the left is in the 0 oxidation state
.. the Fe on the right is in the +(2y/x) oxidation state
.. the O on the left is in the 0 oxidation state
.. the O on the right is in the -2 oxidation state
meaning
.. the O is reduced... . . (it's reduced in oxidation state)
.. the Fe is oxidized.. . .(oxidation state increased)
this is a REDOX reaction

*********
AND.. it's also a synthesis reaction.. (aka combination reaction)
