Answer:

Covering electrical wires in plastic guarantees that the electrons flowing through the wires will not flow through your body when the wire is touched.

Explanation:

"The purpose of insulation covering the metal part of an electrical wire is to prevent accidental contact with other conductors of electricity, which might result in an unintentional electric current through those other conductors."

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

A. When temperature increases, the number and energy of collisions between particles increases, which increases the rate of the reaction.

Explanation:

The reaction rate measures the speed with which a reaction proceeds. Based on the collision theory of reaction rates, the rate of a given reaction depends on the number of collisions per time and how successful or effective the collisions are.

Reaction rate in view of the collision theory is very related to concentration and temperature. Both properties are directly proportional to the rate of a reaction.

As temperature increase, the rate of the reaction increases due to the number of effective collisions and the energy of between colliding particles.

Disadvantages of hard water
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

Here are some disadvantages

Explanation:

Hard water does not pose a health threat.

Hard water can contribute to dry skin and hair.

Hard water is unfit for washing as it is difficult to form lather with soap.

Trimming of kettles will take place due to the formation of magnesium and carbonates of calcium.

4. Convert the following: a. 4g mol of MgCl2 to g b. 2 lb mol of C3H8 to g c. 16 g of N2 to lb mol d. 3 lb of C2H6O to g mol
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

a) 381.2 g

b) 39916 g

c) 0.0013 lb mol

d) 29.6 g mol

Explanation:

The molecular weight (mw) of a compound is the mass of it per mole, so it's the ratio of the mass (m) per mole (n).

a) The molecular weight of one mol is found at the periodic table. So, for Mg, mw = 24.3 g/mol, for Cl = 35.5 g/mol, so for MgCl2, mw = 24.3 + 2*35.5 = 95.3 g/mol. The g mol is the mass divided by the molecular weight:

g mol = m/mw

4 = m/95.3

m = 381.2 g

b) The pound (lb) is a unity of mass, and the lb mol is a unity of the mass divided by the molecular weight. So, by the periodic table, the molecular weight of C3H8 is 3*12 (of C) + 8*1 (of H) = 44 lb/mol.

lb mol = m/mw

2 = m/44

m = 88 lb

1 lb = 453.592 g

So, m = 88*453.592 = 39916 g

c) The molecular weight of N2 is 2*14 (of N) = 28 lb/mol.

m = 16/453.592 = 0.0353 lb

lb mol = m/mw

lb mol = 0.0353/28

lb mol = 0.0013 lb mol

d) The molecular weight is 2*12 (of C) + 6*1(of H) + 1*16(of O) = 46 g/mol

3 lb = 1360.78 g

g mol = m/mw

g mol = 1360.78/46

g mol = 29.6 g mol

Which of these statements about mixtures is true?
Lerok [7]

Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When two or more different substances are mixed together then it results in the formation of a mixture.

Mixture are of two types, that is, homogeneous mixture and heterogeneous mixture.

In homogeneous mixture, the constituent particles are distributed evenly throughout the mixture.

Whereas in heterogeneous mixture, the constituent particles are non-uniformly distributed.

Thus, we can conclude that mixtures are classified based on the distribution of particles in them.
