Answer: combustion causes a chemical reaction between nitrogen and oxygen in the engine.

Explanation:

Nitrogen oxides are produced in combustion processes, partly from nitrogen compounds in the fuel, but mostly by direct combination of atmospheric oxygen and nitrogen in flames. Nitrogen oxides are produced naturally by lightning, and also, to a small extent, by microbial processes in soils.

Answer:

when fuels are burned in vehicle engines high temperatures are reached. at these high temperature nitrogen and oxygen from the air combine to produce nitrogen

Heat Transfer Lab

The following represents a lab set up for heat transfer. The cup on the left started with boiling water at 100 degrees C and the cup on the right has water at 20 degrees C. There is an aluminum bar between the two cups allowing heat to transfer from one cup into the other. The set up will be left alone for 20 minutes and temperatures of each cup of water will be recorded every minute for 20 minutes.

What temperature in degrees c is the freezing point of water?

guajiro [1.7K]

The freezing point of water is 0° C. The Celsius (centigrade) scale is based off of water, with the freezing point at 0° and the boiling point at 100°. (Google will probably tell you this in 10 seconds, then you wouldn't have had to wait 7 hours!)

Ice floats on water. For most other substances, however, the solid sinks in the liquid. Classify each of these statements based

sattari [20]

Answer:

1.High pressure will cause the liquid to become solid :

Describe both water and other substances

2.High pressure will cause the solid to become liquid :

It describe none : neither water nor other substances 

This statement is :False for both water and other substances

3.The solid is more dense than the liquid :

It describe other substance

This statement is :False for water but true for other substances.

4. In a phase diagram, the solid-liquid coexistence line has a negative slope.

It describes water:

This statement is :True for water because solid ice is less dense than liquid water.

False for other substance, they have positive slope

5.The molecules are closest in the liquid phase.

This statement is :False for water and other substances

6.The solid is less dense than the liquid:

It Describes water because ice is less dense than liquid water

7. In a phase diagram, the solid-liquid coexistence line has a positive slope.

It describe other substances

This statement is :True for other substances but false for water

8. The molecules are closest in the solid phase :

Describes both water and other substances

Explanation:

Answers to statement 1 , 2,5 and 8

Answers to statement 1 , 2

On increasing pressure and decreasing temperature , There occur Phase transition always for every substance :

From liquid to solid and gas to liquid

Hence,

In Both for water and other substance

High pressure will cause the liquid to become solid.

Answers to statement 5,8 :

2.The Particles of solid are closely packed hence there is maximum force of attraction between the particle of solid as compared to liquid and gases .

Hence , The molecules of both water and other substances are closest in the solid phase

This also means that in liquid molecules are far apart .

Rest statement : 3, 4 ,6 ,7 are explained below(see attached image)

The molecules are closest in the liquid phase is false statement and does not describe both water and other substance

Ice floats on water. For most other substances, however, the solid sinks in the liquid.

This can be explained using the phase diagram of water :

The line DB is = the solid-liquid coexistence line

It has negative slope because , solid ice is less dense than liquid water . That is why ice floats on water because its density is less than water

Hence Water is described truly by statement 4,6, which are :

4. the solid-liquid coexistence line has a negative slope.

6.The solid is less dense than the liquid.

Rest 3,7 = describe by other substance

other substance : Solid is more dense than the liquid ,the solid-liquid coexistence line has a positive slope

What electron could have quantum numbers n = 2, l = 1, ml = 0, ms = +?

MrMuchimi

Answer is: electron in 2pz orbital.

The principal quantum number is one of four quantum numbers which are assigned to each electron in an atom to describe that electron's state, n=1,2,3... n=2 - the second energy level.
The azimuthal quantum number is a quantum number for an atomic orbital that determines its orbital angular momentum and describes the shape of the orbital. l = 0,1...n-1, when l = 1, that is p subshell.

The magnetic quantum number, ml, show orbital in which the electron is located, ml = -l...+l, ml = 0 is pz orbital.

The spin quantum number, ms, is the spin of the electron; ms = +1/2 or -1/2.
