Energy 1:Question 3

1 answer:

3 0

Answer: The statement, atoms in the sand were moving more quickly best describes why the temperature of the sand increased.

Explanation:

As Sun rises in the morning everyday and the heat energy radiations given by the Sun falls on a number of objects on our surroundings. As a result, the objects absorb this heat energy till afternoon due to which they become hot.

Hence, atoms of the objects gain kinetic energy due to which they move quickly. This shows that the temperature of the object (sand here) increases.

When Maria walked in the same area in the afternoon, the sand was hot as its particles have gained kinetic energy due to which they move rapidly from one place to another. Hence, sand feels more hot in the afternoon in the same area where she walked.

Thus, we can conclude that the statement the atoms in the sand were moving more quickly best describes why the temperature of the sand increased.

Why is an alkali metal element like sodium (Na) so reactive?

guapka [62]

Alkali metals are known for being some of the most reactive metals. This is due in part to their larger atomic radii and low ionization energies. They tend to donate their electrons in reactions and often have an oxidation state of +1. These metals are characterized as being extre

Which of the following sets of empirícal formula, molar mass, and molecular formula is correct?

skad [1K]

Answer:

The option C is correct.
CH4N, 90g, C3H12N3.

Explanation:

Option C:

The molecular formula is C3H12N3.

If we take ratio 3:12:3 that will be equal to 1:4:1 so its empirical formula will be CH4N.
The molar mass of molecular formula = (12×3) + (1×12) +( 14×3) = 98 g

Option A :

In option A , molecular and empirical formula are both correct but molar mass is not valid. It should be 169 acc. to molecular formula.

Option B:

In option B, molecular formual is not valid.
It should be as C6H16O2

The freezing point of a substance is -20°C. Its boiling point is 120°C.

Tasya [4]

Answer:

a. liquid

b. solid

c. gas, (should be at it's boiling point)

Explanation: If the normal melting point of a substance is below room temperature, the substance is a liquid at room temperature. Benzene melts at 6°C and boils at 80°C; it is a liquid at room temperature. If both the normal melting point and the normal boiling point are above room temperature, the substance is a solid.
