Answer:

2. a thermal insulator

Explanation:

To save on heating bills, the roof of a building should be lined with a thermal insulator.

A thermal insulator will help prevent the house from loosing the heat trapped within the house.

An insulator is a substance or device that does not allow for the conduction of heat and electricity.
In this problem, an insulator does not allow for heat conduction.
A conductor will allow heat pass through readily.
So, to trap heat within the house, an insulator is best used.

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Many organic compounds have low melting points. This is due to the fact that many of these compounds are non polar.

However, compound X is slightly polar but still has a melting point which is far less than that of sand composed of a high melting point inorganic material.

Since sand has a much higher melting point compared to compound X, the researcher need not be worried that sand was spilled into his beaker.

The hydrogen deficiency index( HDI) of strigol is = 10

<h3>How to calculate HDI:</h3>

The hydrogen deficiency index is used to measure the number of degree of unsaturation of an organic compound.

Strigol is an example of an organic compound because it contains carbons and hydrogen.

To calculate the HDI using the molecular formula given (C19H20O6) the formula for HDI is used which is:

$hdi = \frac{1}{2} (2c + 2 + n - h - x)$

where C = number of carbon atoms = 19

n= number of nitrogen atoms = 0

h= number of hydrogen atoms = 20

X = number of halogen atoms = 0

Note that oxygen was not considered because it forms two bonds and has no impact.

There for HDI =

$\frac{1}{2} (2 \times 19 + 2 + 0 - 20 - 0)$

HDI=

$\frac{1}{2} (40 - 20)$

HDI =

$\frac{1}{2} \times 20$

HDI = 10

Therefore, the hydrogen deficiency index of strigol is = 10

.an open flask contains 0.200 mol of air. atmospheric pressure is 745 mmhg and room temperature is 68˚f. how many moles are pres

aleksklad [387]

0.219 moles moles are present in the flask when the pressure is 1.10 atm and the temperature is 33˚c.

What is ideal gas constant ?

The ideal gas constant is calculated to be 8.314J/K⋅ mol when the pressure is in kPa.
The ideal gas law is a single equation which relates the pressure, volume, temperature, and number of moles of an ideal gas.
The combined gas law relates pressure, volume, and temperature of a gas.

We simple use this formula-

The basic formula is PV = nRT where. P = Pressure in atmospheres (atm) V = Volume in Liters (L) n = of moles (mol) R = the Ideal Gas Law Constant.

68F = 298.15K

V = nRT/P = 0.2 * 0.08206 * 298.15K / (745/760) = 4.992Liters

n = PV/RT = 1.1atm*4.992L/(0.08206Latm/molK * 306K)

n = 0.219 moles

Therefore, 0.219 moles moles are present in the flask when the pressure is 1.10 atm and the temperature is 33˚c.

Boyle's Law represents the relationship of volume as pressure changes. The constants of Boyle's Law are:

Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

d. Temperature and number of molecules of gas

Step-by-step explanation:

Boyle's Law states, "The volume of a fixed mass of a gas is inversely proportional to the pressure if the temperature remains constant."

Let's examine the words.

"… volume…is inversely proportional to the pressure …" This means that volume and pressure are the variables.

"… fixed mass of a gas …" means that the number of molecules is constant.

"… temperature remains constant" speaks for itself.

a, c, and e are wrong, because pressure is a variable.

b is wrong, because volume is a variable.
