PHYSCI Flashcards
The theory that the universe began in a hot, dense state and has since expanded and cooled.
Big bang theory
the process by which elements are formed within stars.
Stellar nucleosynthesis
NOT a part of Nucleosynthesis
EXO nucleosynthesis
Refers to the formation of the heavy elements by fusion of lighter nuclei within stars
Nuclear fusion
the fundamental particles of all matter.
electron, proton, neutron
The former are elements with atomic numbers beyond lawrencium 1(Z=103)whllett latter are synthetic elements with atomic numbers higher than that of uranium (Z=92)
transuranic elements and super heavy elements differ
type of nuclear synthesis is believed to be the origin of the production of heavy elements
Supernova nucleosynthesis
They have low surface tension
Non polar
-It has linear shape
Carbon dioxide a non polar substance
The presence of polar covalent bonds, The presence of non-polar covalent bonds, The shape of the molecule
factors determine the polarity of a molecule
Zn+2HCI-> ZnCl + H₂
Increase the HCI concentration
- It increases the number of effective collisions among reactants, thus increasing the reaction rate
effect of temperature rise in a chemical reaction
NOT a represent ratio of the coefficients in a balanced chemical equation
Moles
• In a chemical equation, the coefficients tell you the number of molecules of each reactant used, and the number of nuclear fusion
.refers to the formation of the heavy elements by fusion of lighter nuclei within stars
molecules of each product made.
O²+Fe-> Fe² O³
unbalanced equations shows rust, Fe_{2}O_{3}, forming when oxygen, O_{2}, reacts with iron, Fe
2 NaBr + 1 Cl² →
2 NaCl + 1 Br²
factor cannot help to determine the limiting reactant
Pressure given
The reactant that is used up first and prevents more product from being made.
Limiting reactant
used to create methane and alcohol which are fuels useful in energy production and in powering automobiles
Biomass
includes hydrocarbons such as coal, oil, and natural gas that comes from organic remains of prehistoric organisms
Fossil fuels
is NOT the reason why we use solar thermal energy systems
the amount of sunlight varies depending on location, time of day, season of the year, and weather conditions
Two most common types of biofuels
ethanol and biodiesel
Hot water from hydrothermal vents is collected into a heat exchanger. The heat from the water is transferred to another fluid (e.g.isobutane) which evaporates and drives the turbines to generate electricity
Hydrothermal energy
renewable energy sources can be harnessed all the time
Solar energy
