Explain why having a thick, heavy chimney is a better idea than a thin, metal chimney for heating a home all winter long, especi

ally overnight.

MA_775_DIABLO [31]3 years ago
6 0

The major idea behind why having a thick, heavy chimney over a thin, metal chimney for heating a home for a longer period is because it retains a lot of heat and this means energy saving, hence it fuel efficient and cost effective

A metal is a good conductor of heat, this property will make it easily give out head that is needed to the surrounding especially at night, therefore a thick chimney especially made from clay material will be a better choice over a thin metal

Why melting and boiling points can be used as a way to check purity?​
jekas [21]

Answer: Let's see why

Pure solid and liquid compounds possess sharp melting and boiling points. Therefore, melting and boiling points of a compound can be used as a criteria of purity. ... Sometimes during cooling minute quantity of the substance (solid which is being purified) is added to the solution to facilitate the initial crystallisation.

An atom in the ground state has seven valence electrons. This atom could be an atom of which element?
levacccp [35]
The valence electrons of an element is usually determined by its atomic number. The valence elctrons are the electrons that have the highest energy level. 

Fluorine has 7 valence electrons in the ground state.

Nicotine is responsible for the addictive properties of tobacco. assume kb1 = 1.0×10-6 and kb2 = 1.3×10-11 . determine the ph of
Naddika [18.5K]
If we abbreviate the formula for nicotine as Nic, then the equations for two different equilibria of Nic in water are 
     Nic + H2O ---> NicH+ + OH- 
     NicH+ + H2O ---> NicH2 2+ + OH-  

We can write the Kb1 expression for the first equation as 
     Kb1 = 1.0×10^-6 = [NicH+][OH-] / [Nic] 
     1.0×10^-6 = x^2 / 1.85×10^-3 - x 
Approximating that x is negligible compared to 1.85×10^-3 simplifies the equation to   
     1.0×10^-6 = x^2 / 1.85×10^-3 
     x = 0.0000430 
     x = [OH-] = 4.30×10^-5 M  

From the Kb2 expression 
     Kb2 = 1.3×10-11 = [NicH2 2+][OH-] / [NicH+]  
     1.1×10^-10 = x^2 / 4.30×10^-5 - x 
Approximating that x is negligible compared to 4.30×10^-5 simplifies the equation to 
     1.1×10^-10 = x^2 / 4.30×10^-5 
     x =  [OH-] = 6.88×10^-8  

The concentration [OH-] can be computed as 
     [OH-] = 4.30×10^-5 M + 6.88×10^-8 M = 4.30×10^-5 M  
This shows that the second equilibrium has a negligible effect on the pH.  

We can now calculate for pH:   
     pOH = -log [OH-] = -log (4.30×10^-5 M) = 4.37 
     pH = 14 - pOH = 14 - 4.37 = 9.63
