1. The force that pulls the atmosphere toward Earth

Find the linear function Cequalsf(F) that gives the reading on the Celsius temperature scale corresponding to a reading on the

padilas [110]

Answer:

C = (5/9) F - (160/9)

They both read equal at Z = - 40

Explanation:

We are looking for a linear function so we can write the following condition

Y = aX + b

Applying it to the exercise we got C = a F + b

Let's use the facts that C = 0 when F = 32 and C = 100 when F = 212

0 = 32 a + b (1)

100 = 212 a + b (2)

From (1) b = - 32 a , when we replace this in (2) we obtain a = (5/9)

and b = - (5/9)32 = - 160/9

Finally the linear function is C = (5/9) F - (160/9)

Both readings are equal at a Z number so

Z = (5/9) Z - 160/9

(4/9) Z = -160/9 and Z = - 40

Which one of the following represents a decrease in entropy?

Leni [432]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

There are principally three states of matter. These are the solid, liquid and gaseous states. The gaseous state has the highest degree of disorderliness as gas particles can move randomly while the solid state has the highest level of compactness.

Hence, we need to be adequately fed with information as regards the phase change to know if entropy has decreased or increased.

A. is wrong

Evaporation is a change of state to the gaseous state meaning there is an increased entropy.

B. is wrong

Sublimation is a change of state which means a solid substance like iodine or naphthalene changes its state directly to the gaseous state. There is an increased entropy here too.

C is wrong

Melting of ice means going from ice block to liquid water. This is synonymous to going from the solid state to the liquid state which is an increased entropy

D is correct

Condensation involves going from the gaseous state to the liquid state. This means going from a less ordered state to a more ordered state. This is accompanied by an entropy decrease.

E is wrong

While there are some processes that increase entropy, we also have some process that decrease entropy.

Compare the amount of heat required to vaporize a 200.-gram sample of H2O(ℓ) at its boiling point to the amount of heat required

stira [4]

The enthalpy of vaporization of H2O is higher than the enthalpy of fusion of H2O, therefore vaporizing the same mass of H2O would require more heat/energy than melting the same mass of H2O.

Lead forms two compounds with oxygen. One contains 2.98g of lead and 0.461g of oxygen. The other contains 9.89g of lead and 0.76

aliina [53]

The given question is incomplete, the complete question is:

Lead forms two compounds with oxygen. One contains 2.98g of lead and 0.461g of oxygen. The other contains 9.89g of lead and 0.763g of oxygen. For a given mass of oxygen, what is the lowest whole-number mass ratio of lead in the two compounds that combines with a given mass of oxygen?

Answer:

The lowest whole-number mass ratio in the two compounds is 1:2.

Explanation:

There is a need to find the mole ratio between lead and oxygen atoms in order to find the whole-number mass ratio of lead in the two compounds. In the first compound, the given mass of lead is 2.98 grams, the molar mass of lead is 207.2 gram per mole.

The no. of moles can be determined by using the formula,

moles = mass/molecular mass

moles = 2.98 g/207.2 g/mol

= 0.0144 moles

The mass of oxygen in the compound I is 0.461 grams, the molecular mass of oxygen is 16 gram per mol.

moles = 0.461 g /16 g/mol

= 0.0288 moles

The ratio between the lead and oxygen in the compound I is 0.0144/0.0288 = 1:2

On the other hand, in the compound II, the mass of lead given is 9.89 grams, therefore, the moles of lead in compound II is,

moles = 9.89 g / 207.2 g/mol

= 0.0477 moles

The mass of oxygen given in compound II is 0.763 grams, the moles of oxygen present in the compound II is,

moles = 0.763 g / 16 g

= 0.0477 moles

The ratio between the lead and oxygen in the compound II is, 0.0477 moles lead /0.0477 moles oxygen = 1:1

Hence, of the two compounds, the lowest ratio is found in the compound I, that is, 1:2.

What is mineral in science?

Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

minerals

Explanation:

defines a mineral as "a naturally occurring inorganic element or compound having an. orderly internal structure and characteristic chemical composition, crystal form, and physical. properties." Minerals differ from rocks, which are naturally occurring solids composed of one or more minerals.
