plastics are used to make electrical wires. Explain ​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Plastic is a insulator that is why it is used

Explanation:

So wires or metal is a conductor and if you put a conductor as coating then it will conduct plastic coating is for protection because it does not conduct electricity or let it pass through that is why you don't get shocked but if coating was metal then it would conduct and you would get shocked.

Answer 2

Answer:

plastics don't conduct any electricity whatsoever, so plastic is actually used in a wide variety of applications where their insulating, or "protecting" properties are needed. PVC is the most common insulator for electric wiring, I know, because my dad's friend works in electrical and that's what he mainly uses in his line of work, but anyway. yeah, so, plastic materials such as PVC also helps with the prevention of electrical shock. obviously if you were to touch a bare electrical wire you would either be in for a long hospital stay or a coffin. lol um so yeah materials such as PVC are very good and are always used in electrical wiring to not only prevent electrical shock, but to also to provide an insulator and is good for use in high temperatures.

A paper clip released gently into the liquid settles at the bottom of the cylinder. What best compares the densities of the substances?

The clip is denser than the three liquids, and water is denser than oil.
Oil is denser than water but less dense than the clip.
Corn starch is denser than the other liquids and the clip.
Oil is denser than the other liquids, and all liquids are denser than the clip.​

Answers

Answer:

C.

Explanation:

Objects and liquids float on liquids of a higher density and sink through liquids of lower density. the water and corn starch sank under the oil as well so that means they are denser. The paper clip sank through all three liquids also. Hence, the answer would be the clip is denser than the three liquids, and water is denser than oil.

For an experiment, you are required to prepare a series of three solutions by diluting a cobalt(II) chloride stock solution. After making each solution, you notice that each is a different shade of pink. Which is the most concentrated?

a. the lightest pink solution you prepared
b. the darkest pink solution you prepared
c. the medium pink solution you prepared
d. the stock solution

Answers

Answer:

The stock solution

Explanation:

When preparing a series of solutions from a stock solution, the stock solution will always be the most concentrated solution of the set. Each of the subsequent solutions are prepared by dilution, which entails adding solvent to a portion of the stock solution. This will always result in a solution that is less concentrated than the stock solution.

What concentration of ClO3â results when 967 mL of 0.367 M AgClO3 is mixed with 667 mL of 0.643 M Mn(ClO3)2?

Answers

Answer:

0.742M is the concentration of ClO₃⁻

Explanation:

The AgClO₃ contains 1 mole of ClO₃⁻ per mole of compound, but Mn(ClO₃)₂ contains 2 moles of ClO₃⁻ per mole of compound.

The moles of AgClO₃ are:

0.967L * (0.367moles / L) = 0.355 moles AgClO₃ = 0.355 moles of ClO₃⁻

And of Mn(ClO₃)₂:

0.667L * (0.643moles / L) = 0.429 moles Mn(ClO₃) * 2 = 0.858 moles of ClO₃⁻

That means total moles of ClO₃⁻ are:

0.355 moles + 0.858 moles = 1.213 moles ClO₃⁻ that are in 0.967L + 0.667L = 1.634L.

The concentration is:

1.213 moles ClO₃⁻ / 1.634L =

0.742M is the concentration of ClO₃⁻

does the atomic mass come from the masses of both protons and electron

Answers

Answer:

no

Explanation:

For any given isotope, the sum of the numbers of protons and neutrons in the nucleus is called the mass number. This is because each proton and each neutron weigh one atomic mass unit . By adding together the number of protons and neutrons and multiplying by 1 , you can calculate the mass of the atom.

Answer:

No

Explanation:

An element's mass number (A) is the sum of the number of protons and the number of neutrons. Protons and neutrons both weigh about one atomic mass unit or amu. Isotopes of the same element will have the same atomic number but different mass numbers.

You buy several bags of balloons. On the package, it says that each bag has 100 balloons. He opens the bags and only one of them has 100 balloons inside; the other bags either have too many or too few. How would you describe this sample of bags?

Answers

Answer:

Accurate but not precise

Explanation:

The sample of balloon bags can be described as being accurate but not precise.

Recall that accuracy is the closeness of measurements to their true values while precision is the closeness of repeated measurement.

The balloon bags are accurate because it appears that the number of balloons in each bag is not far from the actual number of balloons that should be in them - exactly 100 in one and a few off in others. By the time the average number of balloons is calculated, it will not be far off from 100, if not exactly 100.

However, the sample bags are described as not being precise because of the inconsistency or lack of closeness in the number of balloons in each of them.

Find the density of a substance that’s had a volume of 24.7mL and a mass of 49.1g. Give the answer with two decimals.

Answers

Answer:

1.99 g/mL

Explanation:

Use the formula d = m/v, where m is the mass and v is the volume.

Plug in the values:

d = 49.1/24.7

d = 1.99 g/mL

Answer:

About 1.99 g/mL

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found using the following formula:

d= m/v

where m is the mass and v is the volume.

The mass of this substance is 49.1 grams and the volume is 24.7 milliliters.

m= 49.1 g

v= 24.7 mL

Substitute these values into the formula.

d= 49.1 g / 24.7 mL

Divide 49.1 g by 24.7 mL

d= 1.98785425 g/mL

We are asked to round to two decimal places, or the hundredth place. The 8 in the thousandth place tells us to round the 8 to a 9 in the hundredth place.

d ≈ 1.99 g/mL

The density of the this substance is approximately 1.99 grams per milliliter.

ΔH for the reaction below is -826.0 kJ/mol. Calculate the heat change when a 69.03-g sample of iron is reacted.4Fe(s) + 3 O2(g) --> Fe2O3(s)a. - 255.2 kJb. -510.5 kJc. -1020.9 kJd. -2042 kJe. -2.851 x 10^4 kJ

Answers

Answer:

c. -1020.9 kJ

Explanation:

4Fe (s) + 3 O₂ (g) --> 2 Fe₂O₃(s)         ΔH  =  -826.0 kJ/mol.

atomic weight of iron = 56

69.03 g = 69.03 / 56

= 1.23268 moles

Heat released by 1.23268 moles

= 1.23268 x 826.0

= -1020.9 kJ .

2.Which of the following compounds when dissolved in water will turn blue litmus paper red? copper oxide, calcium oxide, sulphur oxide, sodium oxide, iron oxide

Answers

Answer:

Sulphur oxide

Explanation:

All of the above oxides with the exception of sulphur oxide are basic oxides and so will not turn blue litmus paper red when dissolved in water. Sulphur oxide, SO2 on the other hand, is an acid anhydride (a non-metallic oxide which dissolves in water to produce acid) rendering it the ability of turning blue litmus paper red when dissolved in water.

Answer:sulpher oxide

Explanation:

All of the compounds except sulpher dioxide are metallic oxide which means basic oxide and base change red litmus paper to blue while acid change blue to red so the answer is the acidic oxide or sulpher dioxide

33. A student finds that the mass of 25ml of an unknown liquid is 20.5g. What is the density of this substance?​

Answers

Answer:

Density, [tex]d=0.82\ g/cm^3[/tex]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of an unknown liquid, m = 20.5 g

The volume of unknown liquid is 25 mL

We need to find the volume of the brass object. Mass per unit volume of an object is called its density.

We know that, 1 mL = 1 cm³

So, 25 mL = 25 cm³

[tex]d=\dfrac{m}{V}[/tex]

Putting the values, we get :

[tex]d=\dfrac{20.5\ g}{25\ cm^3}\\\\d=0.82\ g/cm^3[/tex]

So, the density of this substance is [tex]0.82\ g/cm^3[/tex]
