Which way does the heat flow?

Chemistry

No math is needed to explain this. All that you need to know is that the can (4°C) is in your hand (37°C).

Entropy will always move toward being balanced. Never will you find a lake in which half of it is 1°C and the other half is 70°C; it will be equal throughout.

Remember that "cold" doesn't exist. What we describe to be cold is actually a lack of heat.

So, by applying the two ideas above, it can be concluded that:

Since your hand is warmer than the can, the heat from your hand will be transferred to the can in order to reach an equal temperature.

A 200.0-mL sample of helium gas is in a cylinder with a movable piston at 110 kPa and 275 K. The piston is pushed in until the s
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

P₂ = 261 KPa

Explanation:

Given data:

Volume of sample = 200 mL

Initial pressure = 110 KPa

Initial temperature = 275 K

Final volume = 95 mL

Final temperature = 310 K

Final pressure = ?

Solution:

Formula:

P₁V₁/T₁ = P₂V₂/T₂

P₂ = P₁V₁T₂ /T₁ V₂

P₂ = 110 KPa× 200 mL× 310 K /275 K  × 95 mL

P₂ = 6820000 KPa / 26125

P₂ = 261 KPa

When compounds form, which of the following statements is true about the elements that form them?
Greeley [361]

Answer:

C. Their properties change completely.

Explanation:

The electron configurations of the elements show a periodic variation with increasing atomic number. Consequently, there are also periodic variations in physical and chemical behavior.  

When atoms interact to form a chemical bond, they combine in order to <u>achieve a more stable electron configuration.</u> As a consequence, the compounds formed exhibit completely different properties.

For example, when solid magnesium burns in air, it forms both magnesium oxide and magnesium nitride, which are gases.

Which option describes the direction of thermal energy transfer in earth's oceans?
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

Energy is moved from areas of surplus to those of deficit, with warm currents transporting warm water polewards and cold currents taking colder water to lower latitudes. It holds onto this heat for longer than the land does and the ocean currents move this heat around, from the tropics to higher latitudes.
