When a solid melts, why does it absorb energy?

Chemistry

In order for the molecules to actually separate from each other, more energy must be added. This energy, called heat of fusion or heat of melting, is absorbed by the particles as potential energy as the solid changes to a liquid. I hope this helps

calculate density of a rectangular solid, which has a mass of 25.71 g. It is 2.30 cm long, 4.01 cm wide and 1.82 cm high.
Levart [38]
Density is a property of the substances that is obtained by dividing its mass by the volume. For a rectangular solid, the volume may be solved by the following equation,
 
                                          V = L x W x H

Substituting the given values for the dimension,
 
                  V = (2.30 cm) x (4.01 cm) x (1.82 cm) = 16.78786 cm³

Calculating for the density,
 
                                Density = mass / volume
 
                Density = 25.71 cm / <span>16.78786 cm³ = 1.53 grams per cm</span>³

Thus, the density of the given solid is approximately 1.53 grams per cm³.

CO is a primary pollutant.
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

True

Carbon monoxide is a primary pollutant which no odor results from incomplete combustion of fuel. The man sources are gasoline and burning of biomass.

Depending on the source of emission, pollutants can be classified into two groups that is primary and secondary pollutants.

A primary pollutant is emitted in the atmosphere directly from a source. It can be either natural sch as volcanic eruptions, sandstorms or man-made that is due to industrial and vehicle emissions.  Examples of primary pollutants are nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide and particulate matter.

Secondary pollutant is due to interactions between primary and secondary pollutants. These can be chemical or physical interactions. Examples are photo-chemical oxidants and secondary particulate matter.

Therefore, carbon monoxide CO is a primary pollutant.

Materials that conduct heat and electricity well in the solid state result when: 1. metals bond with metals 2. any type of eleme
Andre45 [30]
Answer: Metals bond with metals.  
Explanation: A metallic bond is a sharing of electrons between many atoms of a metal element. Metallic bonding is when positive ions (metals) are in a 'sea of negative electrons'. The electrons are delocalised, which means they can move around easily and carry charge, and this enables it to conduct electricity, even in a solid state. The big pool of electrons is like a free-for-all in that any valence electron can move to any atom within the material.
