Chemistry
1 answer:
Fynjy0 [20]3 years ago
7 0

Answer: A cold compress used by  athletes is an endothermic reaction.

Explanation:

A pack of cold compress used by athletes contains water that holds another bag or tube inside it which is filled with ammonium nitrate fertilizer.

So, on hitting the cold compress the tube breaks down due to which fertilizer gets mixed with water. This mixture absorbs the heat when placed on the area of body having pain, strain or bump.

As a result, we tend to feel cold at the affected area of our body.

Thus, we can conclude that a cold compress used by  athletes is an endothermic reaction.

Which symbol can be used to indicate the pressure at which a chemical reaction is carried out? 25 degrees Celsius over a right a
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

2 atm

Explanation:

Chemical reactions are carried out at a certain rate. Sometimes that rate is quite slow, so we want to speed things up, which is usually used by increasing temperature, increasing pressure or adding a catalyst (a substance that increases the rate without changing itself).

If this is the case, then, when writing a chemical equation, we state these special conditions over a right arrow.

Now let's look at the answers:

- 25°C is a value and unit of temperature

- ∆ is a symbol that denotes change

- 2 atm is a value and unit of pressure (atmosphere is old unit for pressure)

- Pt is a chemical symbol for platinum, an element often used as a catalyst.

So, the correct answer is C) 2 atm

A boy found a solid metal box in his backyard. The box had been buried for so long, it was difficult to determine from what the
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

Box is made up of <em>copper</em>, because density is <em>8.96  g/cm³.</em>

Explanation:

Given data:

Volume of box = 17.63 cm³

Mass of box = 158 g

Which metal box is this = ?

Solution:

First we will calculate the density of box then we will compare it with the density value of given metals.

d = m/v

d = 158 g/ 17.63 cm³

d = 8.96  g/cm³

The calculated density is similar to the given density value of copper thus box is made up of copper.

What does it mean if a solid is malleable?
Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

The answer to this question will be the third option "It is bendable." Malleable means to be able to change the shape of a object without damaging or breaking it. In this case a malleable solid would be for example drainage pipes. These pipes have curves and different shapes but still remain its product of a metal.

Hope this helps!

Which of the following best explains how the results of Rutherford’s experiment affected Thomson’s widely-accepted atomic model?
hichkok12 [17]

Explanation:

Thomson's suggested the plum pudding model of the atom in which the atomic space is made up of electrons surround by positive charges.

Rutherford in his gold foil experiment revised the plum pudding model of the atom;

  • He discovered that most of the alpha particles passed through the foil while a few of them were deflected back.
  • To explain this observation, he suggested the atomic model of the atom.
  • In this model, an atom is made up of a small positively charged center where nearly all the mass is concentrated.
  • Surrounding the nucleus is the extranuclear part made up of electrons.
