The water in the pot becomes hotter as a result of heat transfer.

Energy can be transferred from a region to another , but there will still the same overall amount of energy ( energy conservation)

When a pot containing water is placed on the stove and heat is applied with the burner, there is a flow of heat from the burner to the water.

Heat will be transferred from the burner to the pot, then there will be transferred of heat from the pot to the water, the molecules there in the water will be energized as a result of the heat transfer until the boiling point is reached.

Energy transfer can take place in three form, this could be conduction, radiation or convention.

Convention which is a cyclical process is the one that occurs in fluids only so as a result of convection , the water at the bottom will be heated and the molecules start moving and it will rise till it get to the water at the top of the pot.

Therefore, the water is heated as a result of heat transfer.

Identify the reactants and the products in this chemical equation. 2Fe2O3 + 3C → 4Fe + 3CO2

aivan3 [116]

Answer:

Fe₂O₃ and C are reactants

Fe and CO₂ are products

Explanation:

Reactants:

Chemical species that are present on left side of chemical reaction equation are called reactants.

Product:

Chemical species that are present on right side of chemical reaction equation are called product.

Chemical equation:

2Fe₂O₃ + 3C → 4Fe + 3CO₂

In this reaction 2 mole of iron oxide is react with three moles of carbon and produced four moles of iron and three moles of carbon dioxide. There are equal numbers of atoms of all elements present on both side of chemical reaction so this reaction follow the law of conservation of mass.

Law of conservation of mass:

According to the law of conservation mass, mass can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical equation.

Explanation:

This law was given by french chemist Antoine Lavoisier in 1789. According to this law mass of reactant and mass of product must be equal, because masses are not created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.

Methyl orange (HMO) is an acid-base indicator. Its two forms in solution are HMO (red) and MO- (yellow). When HMO is added to di

Anna007 [38]

Answer:add acid

Explanation:

Methyl orange is red in acid and yellow in base. When added to distilled water and the colour turns yellow, it means it is in its anion form. The equilibrium can be shifted towards the acid form (HMO) by adding acid. The acid will protonate the indicator shifting the position of equilibrium towards the acid side and the solution turns red.
