How is a conductor different from an insulator?

A. The free movement of electrons within a conductor permits the transfer of charge.
B. The free movement of protons within a conductor permits the transfer of charge.
C. There is no free movement of electrons within a conductor.
D. There is no free movement of protons within a conductor.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Conductors allow for charge transfer through the free movement of electrons. In contrast to conductors, insulators are materials that impede the free flow of electrons from atom to atom and molecule to molecule. ... The insulator serves as a handle for moving the conductor around on top of a lab table

Answer 2

Answer:

1. Electrons surrounding a nucleus are attracted to the protons within it because electrons and protons have opposite charges. Electrons closest to the nucleus are attracted with such a force that they can’t escape from the atom. These electrons tend to shield the protons from electrons that are farther away because electrons have the same charge and repel each other. Electrons that are farther away have less attraction to the protons within the nucleus and are more likely to be detached from the atom.

2. Electrons can be transferred from atoms of one body to atoms of another body through friction. This can occur when one body is rubbed against another or when a liquid flows across a solid. In either case, one body may be given a positive charge while the other body is given a negative charge of the same magnitude. Both charges are developed at the same time. Electrons can also be transferred from one body to another when a charged body comes into contact with an uncharged body. The electrons move in the direction that will equalize the charges; thus, the uncharged body will be given the same charge as the charged body.

3. Free electrons move from points of negative charge to points of positive charge. When these electrons move freely from one point to another with little resistance, the material they’re traveling through is said to be a conductor. Conductors have a large number of free electrons. Insulators, on the other hand, have very few free electrons and offer great resistance to the movement of these electrons. Electric charges produced on one end of a body composed of insulating materials will most likely not spread throughout the body. In a conductor, this charge would spread throughout the entire body. Metals are generally conductors; oils, rubber, air, porcelain, and plastics are good insulators.

4. Lightning is produced by the rapid transfer of free electrons when one of the following conditions exist:

One part of a cloud is positively charged and a neighboring part of the same cloud is negatively charged.

A positively charged cloud comes near a negatively charged cloud.

A cloud with either a positive charge or a negative charge comes near the earth.

Answers

Answer: To your project!!

Experiment Half-Life

a. My hypothesis is that when we get through 6 half-life’s you will be left with no atoms, and each time the atom number will decrease. Half of my hypothesis was correct whilst the numbers did decrease we, after 6 trials were left with one undecayed atom.

b.what is a half life?

the time required for the decay of one-half of the atoms in a sample of radioactive material

c. When does a radioactive sample emit the largest number of decay particles? when it first starts to decay

Why is this information important? Half-Life and decay is important today because it helps us determine the date of death and birth of ancient mummies.

d. Do you think the shape of the curve on your graph would change if you increased the half-life to 20 seconds? Yes different data would arise and that would change the graph.

What does this reveal about radioactive decay? The longer a material or substance takes to decay the larger the amount of decayed material or substance will come from the substance

e. Do you think the shape of the curve on your graph would change if you started with a smaller sample, say 50 atoms (pennies)? Yes, again different data would arise and that would change the graph.

What does this reveal about radioactive decay? The smaller the sample the quicker it will decay. And the less product that comes from the sample.

Plants use a process called photosynthesis to survive. What
evidence proves this process is a chemical change?
A. They turn green and change space
B. They get taller and change size
C. Water is needed
Glucose is created in the chloroplasts

Answers

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Glucose is produced through a process powered by sunlight that consumes Carbon Dioxide and produces oxygen as a waste product.  In order for glucose to be produced, Carbon dioxide (a compound) must be, in essence, converted into a completely different chemical: dioxygen.

Photosynthesis is biochemical process by which green plants produce energy and release oxygen. Glucose is produced in this reaction and thus it is a chemical change. Thus, option D is correct.

What is a chemical change?

The change in a substance if involves any bond making or bond breaking then it is called a chemical change. Whereas, if the substance just changes from one phase or state to the other it is called a physical change.

All chemical reactions are chemical changes involving bond making or breaking or both. Photosynthesis is a biochemical reaction takes place in plant leaves with the aid of light energy.

Photosynthesis involves several stages where an electron transport chain, various oxidising and reducing agents are performing significant roles.

The net reaction in photosynthesis is the combination of water and carbon monoxide to form molecular oxygen and glucose. Therefore, there occurs bond making and breaking. Thus option D is correct.

How do you find the mass in grams of one formula unit of a compound given all the atomic masses of every element in the compound?

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

The atomic mass of an element is the average mass of the atoms of an element measured in atomic mass unit (amu, also known as daltons, D).  The atomic mass is a weighted average of all of the isotopes of that element, in which the mass of each isotope is multiplied by the abundance of that particular isotope.  (Atomic mass is also referred to as atomic weight, but the term "mass" is more accurate.)

Answer:

The characteristic molar mass of an element is simply the atomic mass in g/mol. However, molar mass can also be calculated by multiplying the atomic mass in amu by the molar mass constant (1 g/mol). To calculate the molar mass of a compound with multiple atoms, sum all the atomic mass of the constituent atoms.

A 10.3 L cylinder contains 10.67 moles of Cl2 at 21.2 C. What is the pressure (atm)

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

we know that ideal gas equation is

PV=nRT

P=nRT/V

V=10.3L

n=10.67

T=21.2+273=294

R=0.0821

P=10.67*0.0821*294/10.3

P=25.00atm

Answer:

P = 25.0 atm

Explanation:

Given data:

Volume of gas = 10.3 L

Number of moles of Cl₂ = 10.67 mol

Temperature = 21.2 °C

Pressure of gas = ?

Solution:

The given problem will be solve by using general gas equation,

PV = nRT

P= Pressure

V = volume

n = number of moles

R = general gas constant = 0.0821 atm.L/ mol.K  

T = temperature in kelvin

Now we will convert the temperature.

21.2+273 = 294.2 K

10.3 L × P = 10.67 mol ×  0.0821 atm.L/ mol.K  × 294.2 K

P = 257.72 atm.L /  10.3 L

P = 25.0 atm

Non-Ionizing and Ionizing Radiation

There are two kinds of radiation: non-ionizing radiation and ionizing radiation.

Non-ionizing radiation has enough energy to move atoms in a molecule around or cause them to vibrate, but not enough to remove electrons from atoms. Examples of this kind of radiation are radio waves, visible light and microwaves.

Ionizing radiation has so much energy it can knock electrons out of atoms, a process known as ionization. Ionizing radiation can affect the atoms in living things, so it poses a health risk by damaging tissue and DNA in genes. Ionizing radiation comes from x-ray machines, cosmic particles from outer space and radioactive elements. Radioactive elements emit ionizing radiation as their atoms undergo radioactive decay.

Find the mass of AlCl3 that is produced when 3.58 moles of Al2O3 react with excess HCl according to the following equation.

Answers

Al2O3(s) + 6HCl(aq) → 2AlCl3(aq) + 3H2O(l)

Moles of Al2O3, m = 3.58 moles.

We need to find the mass of AlCl3 produced.

Solution :

1 mole of Al2O3 produce 2 moles of AlCl3.

So, 3.58 moles of AlCl3 produce 7.16 moles of AlCl3.

Mass of AlCl3 produced is :

m = moles × molecular mass of AlCl3

m = 7.16 × 133.34 g

m = 954.714 g

Therefore, mass of AlCl3 produced is 954.714 g.

Hence, this is the required solution.
