Answer:

Metals are an excellent electricity and heat conductor because the metal atoms form a matrix through which the outer electrons can move freely. Instead of orbiting their respective atoms they form a sea of electrons surrounding the positive nuclei of the metal ions that interact.

The force between adjacent particles is strong, making heat transfer by collision the most efficient. The particles in liquid can move around within it, which means that the force between particles is not as strong (Fig. 5b). Thus liquids are usually poor conductors of heat.

The reason is because Metals are strong metallic and they make good conductors for electric and heat. While fluids are non metals so they don't produce heat and most of the non metals are brittle and poor conductors.

What is the change in energy of a gas at a pressure of 105 kPa, if 245 J of energy is added causing a change in volume from 25.3
Ahat [919]

Answer:

-1151.5 J

Explanation:

Given that:

The supplies energy = 245 L

The energy used in the expansion of gas = Pressure ×ΔV (change in volume)

At standard conditions;

Pressure = 105 × 10³ Pa

energy used in the expansion = 105 × 10³ Pa × (38.6 - 25.3)L

= 1396.5 J

Thus, the change in the energy of gas = 245 - 1396.5 J

= -1151.5 J

Hence, we can conclude that the gas has lost its own energy in the process of expansion.
