Is a metal nail a conductor or insulator

1 answer:

7 0

I metal nail is not a insulator its a conductor. For example say you put a metal pan with a metal handle on the stove, the handle would slightly get hot to therefor it conducted the heat from the stove.

The incomplete table below shows selected characteristics of gas laws.

Elenna [48]

Explanation :

In the given case different law related to gas is given. The attached figure shows the required solution.

Boyle's law states that the pressure is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas i.e.

$P\propto \dfrac{1}{V}$

$PV=k$

k is a constant.

Charle's law states that the volume of directly proportional to the temperature of the gas.

$V\propto T$

$V=kT$

Combined gas law is the combination of the pressure, volume and the temperature of the gas i.e.

$\dfrac{PV}{T}=k$

Hence, this is the required solution.

What features of this model will help Armando answer the question?

Scrat [10]

Answer:

The adjustable legs and the table of sand.

Note:The question is incomplete. The complete question is given below.

Using Models to Answer Questions About Systems

Armando’s class was looking at images of rivers formed by flowing water. Most of the rivers were wide and shallow, but one river was narrow and deep. Armando’s class thinks that this river is narrow and deep because:

the hill that the water flowed down was very steep, or
the sand grains that the water flowed through were very small.

Armando designed the model below to try to answer the question: Why is this river so narrow and deep?

Explanation:

The model designed by Armando will be helpful to answer the question because of the following features it possesses:

1. An adjustable leg- since one of the hypotheses put forward by the class to explain why the river was narrow and deep was that the hill that the water flowed down was very steep, the adjustable legs can be lowered or raised in order to make the slope shallower or steeper so that their hypothesis can be tested.

2. A table of sand- the table of sand serves as the streambed. By adjusting the size of the sand grains to be larger or smaller, the students will be able to to test their second hypothesis that the small size sand grains that the water flowed through was the reason for the river to be narrow and deep.

The results of their experiments will enable them to come to a conclusion.

Which of the following are benefits of Earth's atmosphere? Select all that apply Exchanges gases with the hydrosphere, recycling

VikaD [51]

Let's evaluate each choice. For the first choice, this is correct. Hydrosphere consist of all the water's in the Earth's surface. It interacts with the atmosphere through reaeration, so that water cycle continues on. The second option is correct, this is known as the greenhouse effect. The third option is incorrect, because the opposite is true, which makes the fourth option correct. The fifth option is incorrect because the atmosphere has nothing to do with the Earth's crust. So, the answers are: A, B, and D.

In addition to the separation techniques used in this lab (magnetism, evaporation, and filtering), there are other commonly used

DENIUS [597]

Answer:

A. Water and Sugar can be separated by evaporation and then crystallization

B. Mixture of Hexane and Octane can be separated by distillation

C. Solid Iodine, I₂ and NaCl can be separated by filtration and then evaporation

D. "Sharpie" permanent marking pen can be separated by chromatography

E. Nickel shavings and copper pellets can be separated by magnetic separation

Explanation:

A. A mixture of water and sugar can be separated by employing two separation techniques, evaporation and crystallization. First the sugar solution is heated to evaporate most of the water. When the solution becomes very saturated, it is allowed to cool and then the sugar molecules are obtained through crystallization induced by seeding or scratching the walls of the container.

B. A mixture of hexane (boiling point = 68 °C) and Octane (boiling point = 125 °C) can be separated by distillation due to their significant difference in boiling points.

The mixture is heated in a flask connected to a Liebig condenser. Hexane with the lower boiling point will distill over first and is collected. Afterwards, octane next distills over and is collected as well.

C. A mixture of solid iodine and NaCl can be seperated by first dissolving in water. Iodine being non- polar does not dissolve and is collected as a residue from filtration using a filter paper, while the NaCl solution is collected as the filtrate. The NaCl is recovered from solution by evaporating to dryness in an evaporating dish.

D. "Sharpie" permanent marking pen contains a mixture of dyes which can be separated by paper chromatography.

A drop of the marker ink is placed on a spot above the solvent level on the paper strip used for the separation. The paper strip is held vertically inside a jar containing a solvent which serves as the mobile phase. The jar is covered and the different dyes move along the paper which serves as the stationary phase, and is thus separated. The paper strip is removed from the jar when the ascending front of the solvent is approaching the top of the paper. The paper is dried and the various dyes can be identified by comparing the distance each has traveled with those of standards.

E. A mixture of nickel shavings and copper pellets can be separated by magnetic separation.

A magnet is brought near the mixture and the nickel shavings being magnetic is attracted to the magnet leaving copper pellets behind since copper is not magnetic.
