The correct option is B.

Coal dust refers to the powered form of coal. Because of the high surface area of coal dust it is highly prone to dust explosion, which involves rapid combustion of fine particles that are suspended in the air; this usually occur in an enclosed place. Coal dust in an enclosed place is more explosive than coal dust that is blown outdoor in an open space because the coal dust in an enclosed place is more concentrated due to restricted space, thus it is more liable to explosion.

Two sets of flasks are connected by a hollow copper pipe, as shown. Which set will change the temperature most quickly?
Dennis_Churaev [7]
Hmm. I'm not 100% sure but. I'm pretty sure it's A because the heated water is below and there's a hotter temp. Also because it's copper, heat will move more quickly. I'm not 100% sure, are there notes you can check?

How many grams of antifreeze C2H4(OH)2 would be required per 500 g of water to prevent the water from freezing at a temperature
Wewaii [24]

Answer:

333.7 g.

Explanation:

  • The depression in freezing point of water (ΔTf) due to adding a solute to it is given by: <em>ΔTf = Kf.m.</em>

Where, ΔTf is the depression in water freezing point (ΔTf = 20.0°C).

Kf is the molal freezing point depression constant of the solvent (Kf = 1.86 °C/m).

m is the molality of the solution.

<em>∴ m = ΔTf/Kf</em> = (20.0°C)/(1.86 °C/m) = <em>10.75 m.</em>

molaity (m) is the no. of moles of solute per kg of the solvent.

∵ m = (no. of moles of antifreeze C₂H₄(OH)₂)/(mass of water (kg))

∴ no. of moles of antifreeze C₂H₄(OH)₂ = (m)(mass of water (kg)) = (10.75 m)(0.5 kg) = 5.376 mol.

∵ no. of moles = mass/molar mass.

<em>∴ mass of antifreeze C₂H₄(OH)₂ = no. of moles x molar mass </em>= (5.376 mol)(62.07 g/mol) =<em> 333.7 g.</em>

The easiest way to determine whether a process is exothermic or endothermic is to note the change in temperature in a calorimete
Kryger [21]

Answer:

In the calorimeter, water is the <u>exothermic</u>. The salt LiCI, which will dissolve, is the <u>endothermic</u>. The final temperature of the water after the dissolution of LiCI was <u>lower</u> than the initial temperature, meaning the process is <u>exothermic</u>. In the microscopic view of the disspolution of LiCI, water molecules were seen to move <u>slowly</u> as they <u>gained </u>energy.

Explanation:

Exothermic is a process in which heat is released during the process. Endothermic reactions absorbs heat from surrounding during a chemical process. The dissolution of salt into water is an exothermic reaction. During this process heat is release and water molecules are broken down which are surrounded by salt ions.
