Answer:

increase

Explanation:

Conduction involves the transfer of electric charge or thermal energy due to the movement of particles. When the conduction relates to electric charge, it is known as electrical conduction while when it relates to thermal energy, it is known as heat conduction. Conductors include metal, steel, aluminum, copper, frying pan, pot, spoon etc.

In the process of heat conduction, thermal energy is usually transferred from fast moving particles to slow moving particles during the collision of these particles. Also, thermal energy is typically transferred between objects that has different degrees of temperature and materials (particles) that are directly in contact with each other but differ in their ability to accept or give up electrons.

Hence, thermal energy added to a substance that is not changing state causes the substance’s temperature to increase because it would absorb energy in the form of heat.

A fossil was analyzed and determined to have a carbon-14 level that is 70 % that of living organisms. The half-life of C-14 is 5

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer: 2948

Explanation:

Half life is the amount of time taken by a radioactive material to decay to half of its original value.

$t_{\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{0.693}{k}$

$k=\frac{0.69}{t_{\frac{1}{2}}}=\frac{0.693}{5730}=1.21\times 10^{-4}years^{-1}$

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

$t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{a}{a-x}$

where,

k = rate constant = $1.21\times 10^{-4}years^{-1}$

t = age of sample = ?

a = let initial amount of the reactant = 100

a - x = amount left after decay process = $\frac{70}{100}\times 100=70$

$t=\frac{2.303}{1.21\times 10^{-4}}\log\frac{100}{70}$

$t=2948years$

Thus the fossil is 2948 years old.

How are new kinds of matter formed in a chemial change?

shtirl [24]

Because the reactants react with each other and chemically react to produce a different product like with fire when it reacts with the wood it burns and the product left behind is a new different substance from the reactants in this case the product is ash

A certain ionic compound X has a solubility in water of 40.3 g/L at 20. degrees C. Calculate the mass X of required to prepare 5

tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

20.1 g

Explanation:

The solubility indicates how much of the solute the solvent can dissolve. A solution is saturated when the solvent dissolved the maximum that it can do, so, if more solute is added, it will precipitate. The solubility varies with the temperature. Generally, it increases when the temperature increases.

So, if the solubility is 40.3 g/L, and the volume is 500 mL = 0.5 L, the mass of the solute is:

40.3 g/L = m/V

40.3 g/L = m/0.5L

m = 40.3 g/L * 0.5L

m = 20.1 g

How does ur body maintain constant tempature on a hot day?

Lina20 [59]

It knows that when water evaporates, it carries heat energy away with it.
So your body puts some water out on your skin, and hopes that it will
evaporate. We call that "perspiring" or "sweating".
