In what situation would an interviewer want to provide the interviewee a list of questions before the interview ?a. When the questions are technical and may require some research from the interviewee.
c. When the interviewer is looking for a spontaneous response from the interviewee.
b. When the interviewee is shy.
d. none of these

Answers

Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When the questions are technical and may require some research from the interviewee then an interviewer want to provide the interviewee a list of questions before the interview.

As only in this case, interviewer wants the interviewee to take some time in order to think about the particular question and then answer it appropriately.

As if there is no list of questions then there are changes that interviewee will forget about some useful point which is important to keep in mind before answering.

Answer:

A

Explanation:

As the temperature of a sample of matter is increased, what happens to the average kinetic energy of the particles in the sample?A. It decreases.
B. It increases.
C. It does not change.

Answers

Answer:

B. It increases.

Explanation:

The kinetic energy is associated with the motion of the particles of a substance.

When the temperature increases, the movement will increase, which means that the velocity of the particles will increase.

According to the mathematical defenition of kinetic energy

Ek = (1)/(2) mv^(2)

The higher the velocity, the higher the kinetic energy.

If the matter is made by a monoatomic gas, the relation between the kinetic energy and temperature is even more evident:

Ec = (3)/(2)(R)/(Na)  T

R: gas constant

Na: Avogadro's number

T: temperature

it would be
B. it increases.

A beaker containing a mixture of N2(g) and H2(g) is cooled by placing it in a tray of cold water. In response to the cooling, the likely number of collisions between the molecules of N2(g) and H2(g) will . The rate of the reaction will .

Answers

The frequency of collisions between the N₂ and H₂ molecules will decrease and the rate of reaction will also decrease.

Since the water is cooler than the gas mixture, heat will flow from the gas to the water.

The gas will cool down, so the average kinetic energy of the gas molecules will decrease.

The molecules will be moving more slowly, so there will be fewer collisions and fewer of these collisions will have enough energy to react.

The rate of reaction between H₂ and N₂ molecules at room temperature is exceedingly slow, but cooling the gas mixture will make the reaction even slower.

Using calories, calculate how much heat 32.0 g of water absorbs when it is heated from 25.0 octo 80.0 °C. How many joules is this?

Answers

Answer:

Q = 1760 cal or 7356.8 J

Explanation:

The general expression to use to calculate heat is the following:

Q = m*Cp*ΔT (1)

Where:

Q = heat in cal or joules

m = mass of the compound.

Cp = specific heat of the compound

T: change in temperature (K) or T2 - T1

Now, the reported Cp for water is 1 cal/g °C and 4.18 J / g °C, we will use both to calculate the heat in calories and joules:

Using calories we have:

Q = 32 * 1 * (80 - 25)

Q = 1760 cal

This is the heat in calories.

Using joules we have:

Q = 32 * 4.18 * (80 - 25)

Q = 7356.8 J

This is the heat expressed in Joules.

Q=mc(change in temp)
(32.0g)(4.18J/g°C)(55°C)= 7360J

The melting points of canola oil, corn oil, sunflower oil, and peanut oil are 10°C, –11°C, –17°C, and –2°C. If you cool a mixture of these oils to 5°C, which one can you separate easily?

Answers

Answer: the canola oil.

Explanation:

According to the melting points reported, at 5°C canola oil, whose melting point is 10°C, will freeze (become solid), while the other three, corn oil, sunflower oil, and peanut oil, having melting points several degrees below 5°C, will remain in liquid state.

Therefore, by decantation or filtration, which are processes that permit separate solids from liquids in a mixture, you can separate easily the solid canola oil from the other three liquid oils.

After separating the canola oil, If you continue cooling the mixture and reach a temperature of - 5°C. the peanut oil, whose melting point is -2°C, whill freeze and you will be able to separate it (again by decantation or filtration).

The same operation, cooling a third time until a temperature around 12°C, will permit you to separate the remaining two oils.

As you see, the knowledge of the physical properties of the substances is a useful tool to separate mixtures.

You can separate the canola oil because it turns back into a solid state while the others remain liquid.
