Answer is: thermal conduction.
<span>Thermal
conduction is the transfer of heat through physical
contact. Thermal conduction is the transfer of heat by
microscopic collisions of particles. Heat spontaneously flows from a
hotter to a colder body.
</span><span>The thermal energy of that core is transferred to the surface of the Earth and lower levels of the oceans by conduction. Water in lakes and oceans transfers heat to the surface by convection.</span>
For a 20g sample it will take 24 minutes therefore for a 5g sample it will take 6 minutes
The answer is 1/16.
Half-life is the time required for the amount of a sample to half its value.
To calculate this, we will use the following formulas:
1.

,
where:
<span>n - a number of half-lives
</span>x - a remained fraction of a sample
2.

where:
<span>

- half-life
</span>t - <span>total time elapsed
</span><span>n - a number of half-lives
</span>
So, we know:
t = 10 min
<span>

= 2.5 min
We need:
n = ?
x = ?
</span>
We could first use the second equation to calculate n:
<span>If:

,
</span>Then:

⇒

⇒

<span>
</span>
Now we can use the first equation to calculate the remained fraction of the sample.
<span>

The size v=masse/density
v= 4*pi*R^3
R=(3*masse/(4*pi*density))^(1/3)
R=1.9695 cm
The moles of oxygen that are needed to produce 13.7 moles of carbon dioxide is 21.17 moles of Oxygen
<u><em>calculation</em></u>
2 C₆H₁₂O + 17 O₂ → 12 CO₂ +12 H₂O
The moles of O₂ is determined using the mole ratio
that is for given equation above O₂ : Co₂ is 17 :12
therefore the moles of O ₂= 13.7 moles x 17/12 =21.17 moles
