Answer: Mineral A changed because Molecular energy transferred is equal or greater than than its Activation energy

Mineral B didn't change because Molecular energy transferred is less than its Activation energy.

Explanation:

The molecules of Mineral A has been disturbed by the addition of energy causing a change and the entropy is increased. The Molecules of Mineral B has not been disturbed because the residual energy has not been overcome and therefore yielding no visible change

2. The temperature of a gas is increased from 125⁰C to 182⁰C inside of a rigid container. The original pressure of the gas was 1

Lina20 [59]

P1/T1 = P2/T2

125⁰C = 398.15 k

182⁰C = 455.15 k

1.22/398.15 = p2/455.15

p2= 1.39atm

the pressure of the gas be after the temperature change is 1.39 atm

If two metals both have the same color, have similar densities, and are about the same size, but one is shiny and the other is dull, they can be separated based on the lustrous physical property of a metal. Lustrous is the property of the metal to shine/gleam gently because of its particle arrangement of atoms.

Answer: The temperature at which the food will cook is 219.14°C

Explanation:

To calculate the final temperature of the system, we use the equation given by Gay-Lussac Law. This law states that pressure of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas at constant pressure.

Mathematically,

$\frac{P_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2}{T_2}$
