The small bags of silica gel you often see in a new shoe box are placed there to control humidity. despite its name, silica gel is a solid. it is a chemically inert, highly porous, amorphous form of sio2. because water vapor readily adsorbs onto the surface of silica gel, it acts as a desiccant. despite not knowing mechanistic details of the adsorption of water onto silica gel, from the information provided you should be able to make an educated guess about the thermodynamic characteristics of the process. predict the signs for δg, δh, and δs for the adsorption of water.

Which conclusion fits the data in the table? a. heat chemically changes chocolate and margarine. b. all solids become liquid at 100°f. c. removing heat from a substance it to melt. d. matter may change shape when it is heated.

Select the correct answer. why are scientific models important in the study of science? a. they always involve critical mathematical calculations. b. they scientists understand complex ideas and objects that aren’t easy to handle. c. they enable scientists to popularize their work in society. d. they are required when conducting any peer review process. e. they are necessary for turning a hypothesis into a law.
