How can you speed up an exothermic reaction? Decrease the temperature in Exothermic reactions (Reactions that release energy, or become hot) Add a catalyst (A substance that reduces activation energy, speeding up the reaction) Increase the concentration of reactants. Increase the concentration of catalysts. Why is a match exothermic? – when Energy is released along […]

What is the pressure at the bottom of a swimming pool that is 3 meters in depth? 29,400 pa What is the pressure at the bottom of a pool? The chart shows that 2.31 feet of water will create one PSI. So in CPO class, I ask the students: “How much pressure is at the […]

What are the five changes of state? Common changes of state include melting, freezing, sublimation, deposition, condensation, and vaporization. What are the 22 states of matter? What are the 22 states of matter? Solid. Liquid. Gas. Plasma. Bose-Einstein Condensate. Excitonium. Degenerate Matter. Photonic Matter. What are the 7 types of matter? The seven states of […]

What happens when a cell with 1% salt gets put into a 10% salt solution? It is a type of passive transport. A cell has a 1% salt concentration. It is placed into a solution containing a 10% salt concentration. Water will move out of the cell, causing it to shrink. What are examples of […]

Is it safe to swim to a sandbar? The trough can be a gentle swim, but the sandbars around it can also shift to create the rip currents — channeled rushes of water pulling away from shore — that have caused so many drownings and near drownings over the years. “You are always going to […]

What causes hydrogen gas to glow when an electric current is passed through it? Terms in this set (62) What gives gas-filled lights their colors? An electric current passing through the gas in each glass tube makes the gas glow with its own characteristic color. These electrons lose energy by emitting light when they return […]

Why is cork dead? Mature cork cells are plant cells that form the protective water-resistant tissue in the outer covering of stems or trunks. Cork cells are genetically programmed not to divide, but instead to remain as they are, and are considered dead cells. What is cork cell and their functions? A mature cork cell […]

How do you do a well yield test? Determine the volume in gallons per foot of well bore based on the well diameter (Table 1). Multiply the gallons per foot of well bore times the footage of water level rebound during the recovery. Then divide the result by the time of this recovery to a […]

What is an everyday example of chemical energy? Everyday Chemistry The very wood we burn and the airbags we face every time we enter a vehicle are examples of chemical energy. What is the best definition for chemical energy? The definition of chemical energy is energy released in a chemical reaction or absorbed in the […]

Which is best analog or digital? Digital recordings can have a greater signal-to-noise ratio depending on the bit depth of the recording. This jump in elevation can create a digital noise. The smooth analog signal matches the recorded sound wave better than the steps of a digital recording. What are the three components of a […]
