Which way does the heat flow?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Rus_ich [418]3 years ago
5 0

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 bond where electrons are transferred from one atom to another, resulting in charge imbalance in each atom. a bond where electr
Illusion [34]

Answer:

1. A bond where electrons are transferred from one atom to another, resulting in charge imbalance in each atom is called ionic bonding.

2. A bond where electrons are equally shared, resulting in equal numbers of electrons orbiting each atom is called non-polar covalent bond.

3. A bond where electrons are unequally shared, resulting in more electrons orbiting certain atoms than others is called a polar covalent bond.

4. A bond where the electronegativity differences between the atoms within a molecule result in the partially positive atoms of one molecule attracting the partially negative atoms of other molecules is called polar bond and it is part of the covalent bonds.

Explanation:

1. In ionic bonding process, electrons are enterely transferred from one atom to another either losing or gaining negatively charged electrons, and the reacting atoms form ions. A charge imbalance is caused then by the oppositely charged ions, when attracted to each other by electrostatic forces, the basis of the ionic bond.

2. A non-polar covalent bond is occurs when two atoms have same electron afinity to share their electrons equally. The closer the values of their electron affinity, the stronger the attractionis. This is created in diatomic elements or gas molecules.

3. A polar covalent bond is a type of chemical bond where two electrons are unequally shared between two atoms, electrons are not equally shared because one atom spends more time with the electrons than the other atom, resulting in more electrons orbiting certain atoms than others.

4. The polar bond is a type of covalent bonds. This bonds depends on atoms´electronegativity differences. If an atom is less electronegative, it means that the electron distribution or charge is unevenly distributed or polarized and then it becomes partially positive.

Determine whether the following hydroxide ion concentrations ([OH−]) correspond to acidic, basic, or neutral solutions by estima
Rzqust [24]

Answer:

See explanation below

Explanation:

To do this, we will use the following expression to calculate the [H⁺]:

[H⁺] = Kw / [OH⁻]

[H⁺] is the same as [H₃O⁺]. So we have the [OH⁻] so, let's replace every value into the above expression to calculate the hydronium concentration and say if it's acidic, basic or neutral. This can be known because if the [H⁺] > 1x10⁻⁷ M the solution is acidic. If it's [H⁺] < 1x10⁻⁷ M the solution is basic, and if it's [H⁺] = 1x10⁻⁷ M the solution is neutral.

a) [H⁺] = 1x10⁻¹⁴ / 6x10⁻¹² = 1.67x10⁻³ M. Acidic.

b) [H⁺] = 1x10⁻¹⁴ / 9x10⁻⁹ = 1.11x10⁻⁶ M. Acidic.

c) [H⁺] = 1x10⁻¹⁴ / 8x10⁻¹⁰ = 1.25x10⁻⁵ M. Acidic.

d) [H⁺] = 1x10⁻¹⁴ / 7x10⁻¹³ = 0.0143 M. Acidic.

e) [H⁺] = 1x10⁻¹⁴ / 2x10⁻² = 5x10⁻¹³ M. Basic.

f) [H⁺] = 1x10⁻¹⁴ / 9x10⁻⁴ = 1.11x10⁻¹¹ M. Basic.

g) [H⁺] = 1x10⁻¹⁴ / 5x10⁻⁵ = 2x10⁻¹⁰ M. Basic.

h) [H⁺] = 1x10⁻¹⁴ / 1x10⁻⁷ = 1x10⁻⁷ M. Neutral.

Part B.

In this part, we'll use the following expression and replace the given values:

[OH⁻] = Kw / [H⁺]

Replacing the values:

[OH⁻] = 1x10⁻¹⁴ / 5.2x10⁻⁵

[OH⁻] = 1.92x10⁻¹⁰ M

PArt C:

In this case, we will use expression of part A, and replace the given values:

[H⁺] = 1x10⁻¹⁴ / 2.7x10⁻²

[H⁺] = 3.7x10⁻¹³ M
