You are a researcher for a golf club manufacturer. You are given two identical looking cubes of a metal alloy. You are informed

that they are made of the exact same material, but one is a crystalline, while the other is amorphous. It is your job to determine which one is amorphous because this one is more stress-resistant and is useful in reinforcing golf clubs. Which of the following is the best way to determine which is which?
A. Determine the density of each cube. The more dense one is the amorphous solid.

B. Determine the density of each cube. The less dense cube is the amorphous solid.

C. Melt both cubes and look for a broader range of melting temperatures. The one that melts over a broader range of temperatures is the amorphous solid.

D. Melt both cubes and measure the range of melting temperatures. The one that melts over a narrower range of temperatures is the amorphous solid.

Answer:

C.Melt both cubes and look for a broader range of melting temperatures. The one that melts over a broader range of temperatures is the amorphous solid.

Explanation:

Amorphous solids is one that do not have a fixed melting points but melt over a wide range of temperature due to the irregular shape hence its name. Contrariwise crystalline solids, have a fixed and sharp melting point.

This comes in handy to solve the riddle. We can characterise the pair with the melting point property.

Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

Four  

Explanation:

AlCl₃(aq) ⟶ Al³⁺(aq) + 3Cl⁻(aq)

One mole of AlCl₃  produces 1 mol of Al³⁺ and 3 mol of Cl⁻.

That's four moles of ions.

2. Why are there so many volcanoes in California? <br>​
Kruka [31]

Answer:

Most higher risk volcanoes are far from California’s largest cities and several produce heat that’s used to generate electricity in what are the world’s most productive geothermal power plants, such as the Salton Buttes, 160 miles southeast of Los Angeles, and the Clear Lake Volcanic Field 85 miles north of San Francisco that powers the Geysers steam field.

Suppose a friend says that we don't need to worry about the rising temperatures associated with global climate change. Her claim
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

Carbonic acid could be formed.

Explanation:

Hello,

Based on her claim, it would be a really useful strategy to prevent global warming, nevertheless, there would be a problem if a increasing amount of carbon dioxide is not buried at the bottom of the ocean yet it flows freely along the sea and probably reacting with the water, causing carbonic acid to be formed  and subsequently cutting back the sea's pH (increasing its acidity).

It would be useful, but a constant monitoring of the sea's pH must be needed because this could cause some species to be affected not only by the temperature but for the acid pH as well.

Best regards.

The expression below was formed by combining different gas laws. V is proportional to StartFraction n T over P EndFraction. Whic
Ronch [10]

Answer:

The Ideal gas law

Explanation:

From the given question, we have:

V \alpha \frac{nT}{P}

where each variable has its usual meaning.

Thus,

V = \frac{nRT}{P}

where R is the ideal gas constant

cross multiply to have;

PV = nRT

This implies that the volume of the gas is directly proportional to the number of moles of the gas.

Therefore, the law can be used to determine the relationship between the volume and number of moles is the ideal gas law.

A buffer contains the weak acid HA and its conjugate base A-. the weak acid has a p Ka of 4.82 and the buffer has a pH of 4.25.
klasskru [66]
<span>I think the correct answer is A. A buffer is a substance that resists small change in the acidity of a solution when an acid or base is added to the solution. Usually, a buffer involves a weak acid or a weak alkali and one of its salt.</span>
