When a substance dissolves, it undergoes a _____.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

The right answer is physical change.

In the general sense, dissolution is the action of dissolving something, that is to say, of decomposing it by the separation of its parts.

In chemistry, dissolution is an intimate mixture of two bodies, at least one of which is liquid.

Eg: the dissolution of sugar in the water, the sugar will pass from the solid and dry state to the dissolved state so there is a physical change. The sugar is going to be surrounded by water molecules and form hydrogen bonds, so it can be a chemical change.

Answer 2
Answer: 2 types of changes
physical change
chemical change

the easy way to tell the difference is
a physical change is genrally reversable
it changes the look but not the composition
for example, water freezes into ice is physical change

a chemical change is generally not reversable (easily)
ex metal rusting, egg rotting
it changes theh composition itself


when a substance disolves, it actually merges and the molecules move around and sometimes bond
so it's a chemical change

Nitrogen gas has the chemical formula N2. One molecule of nitrogen gas is made up ofA.
one atom of nitrogen and one atom of oxygen.
B.
two atoms of nitrogen and one atom of oxygen.
C.
two atoms of nitrogen.
D.
one atom of nitrogen.

Answers

Nitrogen gas has the chemical formula N2. One molecule of nitrogen gas is made up of two atoms of nitrogen.

The correct option is C.

Explanation:

Nitrogen gas has the chemical formula N_(2), which means that two atoms of nitrogen element combined to form nitrogen gas.

The combination of two atoms of element nitrogen produce dinitrogen atom.

Dinitrogen is the nitrogen gas usually present in atmosphere of the earth in abundance.

2 atoms of nitrogen element

N + N = N_(2)

the gas is colorless and odorless formed at standard condition of temperature and pressure. The two nitrogen atoms are tightly bonded with triple bonds in between the atoms.

Driving cars lowers the pH of the oceans by _______.a.
releasing CO2 that dissolves and forms acid in the oceans
b.
releasing pollutants that lead to smog
c.
releasing CO that dissolves and forms acid in the oceans
d.
releasing pollutants that lead to acid rain

Answers

Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When CO_(2) is released from driving cars, some of which is absorbed by the plants but the rest of CO_(2) reacts with the sea or ocean water.

It reacts with water molecules and changes the chemistry of ocean water by lowering its pH. As it is known that when pH becomes lower then the substance becomes acidic in nature.

Thus, we can conclude that driving cars lowers the pH of the oceans by releasing CO_(2) that dissolves and forms acid in the oceans.

A) releasing CO2 that dissolves and forms acid in the oceans (i think i'm sorry if its wrong)

Suppose you have designed a new thermometer called the x thermometer. On the x scale the boiling point of water is 129 ?x and the freezing point of water is 13 ?x. Part a at what temperature are the readings on the fahrenheit and x thermometers the same?

Answers

(x1,y1) (x2,y2)  

(32,15) (212,135)  

y = mx + b  

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)  

m=.66667  

y = .66667*(x) + b  

Plug in #s to test for b value  

15 = .66667*(32) + b  

b = -6.334  

y = mx + b  

y = .6667*(x) + (-6.334)  

F = .6667*(F) + (-6.334)  

F = (.6667*(F) = -6.334  

(F - .6667F) = -6.334  

F(1 - .6667) = -6.334  

F = -19  

ThermX = F @ -19 degrees

Which scientist developed the equation of wave mechanics?

Answers

The scientist that developed the equation of wave mechanics is Erwin Schrodinger that combined the works of Bohr and de Broglie. The electron was a three dimensional wave circling the nucleus in a whole number of wavelengths allowing the waveform to repeat itself as a stable standing wave (it can absorb energy form a nearby source which is oscillating at a proper frequency) representing the energy levels of Bohr model. He also said that Broglie’s model was correct about the matter waves and the electrons are located in the atomic space according to standing wave frequencies.

It would be neutral.
It would be neutral ,but pure H2O is neutral in itself so it could be either of them
