Which word is used to describe a flow of electrons through a conductor?

Lunna [17]

Electric current is flow of electrons in a conductor. The force required to make current flow through a conductor is called voltage and potential is the other term of voltage.

Write me a brief description of a Nerve Signal. (Only one sentence)

astraxan [27]

Description of a nerve signal

The nerve signal, or action potential, is a coordinated movement of sodium and potassium ions across the nerve cell membrane. Here's how it works: As we discussed, the inside of the cell is slightly negatively charged (resting membrane potential of -70 to -80 mV).

Help plz:)))I’ll mark u Brainliest

finlep [7]

Answer:

11690J

Explanation:

Use formula Q = mL

where:

Q = Energy (J)

m = Mass (g)

L = Latent heat of fusion for water (J/g) = 344J/g

Therefore:

Q = 35.0 x 344

Q = 11690J

When calcium carbonate is heated, it decomposes to produce calcium oxide and carbon dioxide, as shown in the diagram below. How

Vikki [24]

Explanation:

Before we start with any calculation, we need to determine the stoichiometric relationship between the reactants consumed and the products formed. In other words, we need to establish a balanced chemical equation that describes the decomposition of calcium carbonate as shown below.

$\text{CaCO}_{3} \ \ \text{(s)} \ \overset{\Delta}{\longrightarrow} \ \text{CaO} \ \text{(s)} \ + \ \text{CO}_{2} \ \text{(g)}$ ,

where the uppercase delta symbol, $\Delta$ , above the chemical reaction arrow denotes that heat is applied to make the reaction proceed in the direction of the arrow.

To calculate how many moles are there in 4 grams of calcium carbonate, we use the relation

$n \ = \ \displaystyle\frac{m}{M_{r}}$ ,

where $n$ is the number of moles, $m$ is the mass of the chemical substance and $M_{r}$ is the molar mass of the chemical substance. We first need to identify the molar mass of calcium carbonate,

$M_{r} \, [\text{CaCO}_{3}] \ = \ A_{r} \, [\text{Ca}] \ + \ A_{r} \, [\text{C}] \ + \ 3 \, \times \, A_{r} \, [\text{O}] \\ \\ M_{r} \, [\text{CaCO}_{3}] \ = \ 40.078 \ + \ 12.011 \ + \ 3 \, \times \, 15.999 \\ \\ M_{r} \, [\text{CaCO}_{3}] \ = \ 100.086 \ \text{g mol}^{-1}$

Hence,

$n \ = \ \displaystyle\frac{4 \ \text{g}}{100.086 \ \text{g mol}^{-1}} \\ \\ \\ n \ = \ 0.04 \ \text{mol}$ .

We know that, from the balanced chemical equation above, 1 mole of calcium carbonate following decomposition, will theoretically lead to the production of 1 mole of carbon dioxide. Then, if 0.04 moles of calcium carbonate is decomposed, then, 0.04 moles of carbon dioxide is produced.

To convert the number of moles into the mass of carbon dioxide produced, we need to rearrange the formula as follows.

$n \ = \ \displaystyle\frac{m}{M_{r}} \\ \\ \\m \ = \ n \ \times \ {M_{r}}$ .

Thus,

$M_{r} \, [\text{CO}_{2}] \ = \ A_{r} \, [\text{C}] \ + \ 2 \, \times \, A_{r} \, [\text{O}] \\ \\ M_{r} \, [\text{CO}_{2}] \ = \ (12.011 \ + \ 2 \, \times \, 15.999) \ \text{g mol}^{-1} \\ \\ M_{r} \, [\text{CO}_{2}] \ = \ 44.009 \ \text{g mol}^{-1}$

$\rule{12cm}{0.01cm}$

$m \ = \ 0.04 \ \text{mol} \ \times \ 44.009 \ \text{g mol}^{-1} \\ \\ m \ = \ 1.76 \ \text{g}$

Therefore, 4 grams of calcium carbonate yields 1.76 grams of carbon dioxide following decomposition.
