What causes liquid water to freeze?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Loss of energy to a colder material. Ice forms at 32°F /0° C.

Explanation:

As water cools, the natural movement between the molecules slows until it changes to a solid state (just as it boils to gas if they become too active). This movement doesn't completely stop until the material hits "absolute zero" at -460°F /-273° C. (0° Kelvin).

That's about the temperature "in the shade" in outer space.

A more interesting question would be, "why does water expand when it freezes?" The H - two - O molecule forms a triangle (with the O in the middle).

As it cools, the angle formed by the two H's gets larger. At around 36°F /2° C , the shrinking space between molecules gets overwhelmed by the expanding size of each molecule.

So, for those last few degrees before freezing, the overall volume gets bigger instead of continuing to decrease.

That's what causes potholes in roads (water settles into cracks, then makes the crack larger as it freezes). It's what damages the eaves trough around your roof, breaks leaves down into topsoil and splits boulders in half.

Which element, (O) (F), has a smaller atomic radius?

Answers

Florine has a smaller atomic radius than oxygen

Atomic radius or Atomic Radii is the total distance from the nucleus of an atom to the outermost orbital of its electron and in the given element oxygen and Florine, Florine has the smallest atomic radius because in moving from left to right across a period, the atomic radius decreases as the effective nuclear charge increases and because of greater positive charge of the nucleus, pulling electron and electron shell in closer. therefore, the Florine has smallest atomic radius than oxygen atomic radii of oxygen is 48pm.

The pressure of a gas in a tank is 3.20 ATM at 22.0°C if the temperature is increased to 60.0°C what will the new pressure in the tank be

Answers

Answer:

P₂ = 3.61 atm

Explanation:

Given data:

Initial pressure of tank = 3.20 atm

Initial temperature = 22.0°C

Final temperature = 60.0°C

Final pressure = ?

Solution:

Initial temperature = 22.0°C (22.0 +273 = 295 K)

Final temperature = 60.0°C (60 +273 = 333)

According to Gay-Lussac Law,

The pressure of given amount of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature at constant volume and number of moles.

Mathematical relationship:

P₁/T₁ = P₂/T₂

Now we will put the values in formula:

3.20 atm / 295 K = P₂/333 K

P₂ = 3.20 atm × 333 K / 295 K

P₂ = 1065.6 atm. K /295 K

P₂ = 3.61 atm

What happens when an object
returns to its original shape-does it
still have elastic energy?

Answers

Answer:

Elastic potential energy is energy stored as a result of applying a force to deform an elastic object. The energy is stored until the force is removed and the object springs back to its original shape, doing work in the process. The deformation could involve compressing, stretching, or twisting the object.

student carries out a titration to determine the concentration of a solution of
nitric acid. She titrates the solution of nitric acid against a standard solution
of sodium hydroxide with a known concentration of 0.0998 mol/dm². She
finds that 21.80 cm of the nitric acid solution is needed to exactly neutralise
25.0 cm of the sodium hydroxide solution.
Calculate the concentration of the nitric acid solution. Give your answer to
three significant figures.
The equation for the neutralisation reaction is
HNO3 + NaOH → NaNO3 + H2O​

Answers

The concentration of the Nitric acid solution : 0.114 M

Further explanation  

Titration is a procedure for determining the concentration of a solution (analyte) by reacting with another solution whose known concentration (usually a standard solution) is called the titrant. Determination of the endpoint/equivalence point of the reaction can use indicators according to the appropriate pH range  

Titrations can be acid-base titration, depositional titration, and redox titration. An acid-base titration is the principle of neutralization of acids and bases  

Reaction

HNO₃ + NaOH → NaNO₃ + H₂O​

Concentration a standard solution  of sodium hydroxide :  0.0998 mol/dm³ , and the volume = 25 cm³

moles NaOH=

[tex]\tt mol=M\times V\\\\mol=0.0998\times 25\\\\mol=2.495~mlmoles[/tex]

From the equation, mol ratio HNO₃ : NaOH = 1 : 1, so mol HNO₃ = mol NaOH=2.495 mlmoles

The volume of HNO₃ = 21.8 cm³, so the concentration :

[tex]\tt M=\dfrac{n}{V}\\\\M=\dfrac{2.495}{21.8}\\\\M=0.114[/tex]

The concentration of the nitric acid solution is 0.11445 mol/dm³

From the question,

We are to calculate the concentration of the nitric acid solution

The given balanced chemical equation for the reaction is

HNO₃ + NaOH → NaNO₃ + H₂O​

This means 1 mole of HNO₃ is needed to completely neutralize 1 mole of NaOH

Using the formula

[tex]\frac{C_{A}V_{A} }{C_{B}V_{B}} = \frac{n_{A}}{n_{B}}[/tex]

Where [tex]C_{A}[/tex] is the concentration of acid

[tex]C_{B}[/tex] is the concentration of base

[tex]V_{A}[/tex] is the volume of acid

[tex]V_{B}[/tex] is the volume of base

[tex]n_{A}[/tex] is the mole ratio of acid

[tex]n_{B}[/tex] is the mole ratio of base

From the given information

[tex]C_{B}= 0.0998\ mol/dm^{3}[/tex]

[tex]V_{A} = 21.80 \ cm^{3}[/tex]

[tex]V_{B} = 25.0 \ cm^{3}[/tex]

From the balanced chemical equation

[tex]n_{A} = 1[/tex]

[tex]n_{B} =1[/tex]

Putting the parameters into the formula, we get

[tex]\frac{C_{A} \times 21.80 }{0.0998 \times 25.0} = \frac{1}{1}[/tex]

Then,

[tex]C_{A} \times 21.80=0.0998 \times 25.0[/tex]

∴ [tex]C_{A}=\frac{0.0998 \times 25.0}{21.80}[/tex]

[tex]C_{A} =\frac{2.495}{21.80}[/tex]

[tex]C_{A} = 0.11445 \ mol/dm^{3}[/tex]

Hence, the concentration of the nitric acid solution is 0.11445 mol/dm³

A meniscus must be considered when making which of the following measurements?

Answers

Answer:

When you read a scale on the side of a container with a meniscus, such as a graduated cylinder or volumetric flask, it's important that the measurement accounts for the meniscus. Measure so that the line you are reading is even with the center of the meniscus. For water and most liquids, this is the bottom of the meniscus. For mercury, take the measurement from the top of the meniscus. In either case, you are measuring based on the center of the meniscus. For a flat meniscus, make sure the liquid is level. Usually placing the container on a lab bench does the trick.

You won't be able to take an accurate reading looking up at the liquid level or down into it. Get eye level with the meniscus. You can either pick up the glassware to bring it to your level or else bend down to take measurements in situations where you're concerned with dropping the container or spilling its contents.

Use the same method to take measurements each time so that any errors you make will be consistent.

A container of gas is initially at 0.25 atm and 0 ˚C. What will the pressure be at 125 ˚C?

Initial pressure  = 0.25atm

Initial temperature  = 0°C  = 273K

Final temperature  = 125°C  = 125 + 273  = 398K

To solve this problem, we use a derivative of the combined gas law;

Answers

56.5 grams of an unidentified material are put in a graduated cylinder. Lead is the name of the unknown material.

What is graduated cylinder?

In order to make them lighter and less fragile than glass, large graded cylinders are typically manufactured of polypropylene due to its good chemical resistance or poly methyl pentene due to its transparency. Polypropylene (PP) is simple to repeatedly autoclave; however, autoclaving beyond 121 °C (250 °F) will warp or break polypropylene graduated cylinders, reducing accuracy (depending on the chemical composition; normal commercial grade polypropylene melts above 177 °C (351 °F)).

In order to improve the precision and accuracy of volume measurement, traditional graduated cylinders are typically tall and narrow. It has a "spout" for simple pouring of the measured liquid and a glass or plastic base (stand, foot, support). Another variation is low and wide.
