Describe the energy change in the particles of a substance during melting.
a) the kinetic energy of the particles remains unchanged.
b) absorbed energy results in the change in potential energy.
c) as the temperature increases during melting, the kinetic energy also increases.
d) the kinetic energy of the particles decreases as the particles move farther apart.

10. translate each of the following chemical equations into a sentence. a. 2 zns(s) + 3 o2(g) -> 2 zno(s) + 2 so2(g) b. cah2(s) + 2 h2o(l) -> ca(oh)2 (aq) + 2 h2(g)

What layer of the atmosphere is directly above the troposphere?

Modern pennies are composed of zinc coated with copper. a student determines the mass of a penny to be 2.482 g and then makes several scratches in the copper coaling (to expose the underlying zinc). the student puts the scratched penny in hydrochloric acid, where the following reaction occurs between the zinc and the hcl (the copper remains undissolved): zn(s) + 2 hcl(aq) → h2(g) + zncl(aq)the student collects the hydrogen produced over water at 25 °c. the collected gas occupies a volume of 0.899 l at a total pressure of 79 j mmhg. calculate the percent zinc (by mass) in the penny. (assume that all the zn in the penny dissolves.)
