Intermolecular force for solids is high. Whereas low in gases. The smell of agarbatti spreads immediately because the molecules of air diffuses very fastly.
Answer:
286.55K
Explanation:
To convert to kelvin , add 237 .15

Answer:
(a) The coefficient of performance of an irreversible refrigeration cycle is always less than the coefficient of performance of a reversible refrigeration cycle when both exchange energy by heat transfer with the same two reservoirs.
Explanation:
According to the Kelvin–Planck statement of the second law of thermodynamics ,it is not possible to construct a device which operates in cycle and does not produce effect on the environment than the production of work.
We know that
Coefficient of performance is the ratio of desired effect to the work input in a cycle.
Given all option is correct but most appropriate option is a.
So the option a is correct
(a) The coefficient of performance of an irreversible refrigeration cycle is always less than the coefficient of performance of a reversible refrigeration cycle when both exchange energy by heat transfer with the same two reservoirs.
During a scientific study a hypotheses is generally modified or discarded
so for first blank the answer is hypotheses
Now in case of phlogiston theory it was assumed that when a substance catches fire it evolve certain substances known as phlogiston which was later on discarded as there is no such particle. Infact a substane undergoing oxidation may gain weight
Hence in second blank the answer is new evidence didn’t support it,
<h3>Answer:</h3>
Number of Protons = 9
Number of Neutrons = 9
Number of Electrons = 10
<h3>Explanation:</h3>
Number of Protons:
The number of protons present in any atom are equal to the atomic number of that particular atom. Hence, as the atomic number of Fluorine is 9 therefore, it contains 9 protons.
Number Neutrons:
The number of neutrons present in atom are calculated as,
# of Neutrons = Atomic Mass - # of protons
As given,
Atomic Mass = 18
# of Protons = 9
So,
# of Neutrons = 18 - 9
# of Neutrons = 9
Number of Electrons:
As we know for a neutral atom the number of electrons are exactly equal to the number of protons present in its nucleus. So, for 9 protons in neutral Fluorine atom there must be 9 electrons. But, we are given with Fluoride Ion (i.e. F⁻) so it contains one extra electron hence, it contains the total of 10 electrons respectively.
