A family from Ottawa turned off the heat before flying to Florida for a winter holiday. When they came home, all of their water pipes had burst. What do you think happened?

Explanation:

In the extreme winters , the water inside pipes freeze, on freezing it's(water molecule)  density decreases and volume increases and therefore, the ice then expands and pushes the water towards the faucet, causing high pressure buildup in the pipe and after a limit the pipe burst. This is what happened to the family in Ottawa, where winters are chilly.

Since their family turned off the heat, it should be cold, the pipes must be freezing, and there is water in the pipes which means the water in the pipes is freezing causing it to burst.

answer: the enthalpy of the overall chemical reaction is +87.88 kj or +88 kj.

according to hess's law, the overall enthalpy of a reaction is the difference between the sum of enthalpy values of all the products and the sum of enthalpy values of all the reactants.

δh(reaction) = ∑nδh(products) - ∑nδh(reactants)

δh(reaction) = [δh +δh] - [δh]

δh(reaction) = [1(-287.02) + 1(0) ] - [1(-374.9)] kj = +87.88 kj

here, δh (pcl3) = -287.02 kj, δh(cl2) = 0, δh(pcl5) = -374.9 kj

therefore, enthalpy of the overall reaction is +87.88 kj or +88 kj.

question: ray weighs 100 kilograms, his wrestling partner, bobby, weighs 50 kilograms. if ray moves at 4 m s , how fast will bobby have to run at him to apply an equal amount of kinetic energy?

answer: 8 m/s he needs to run twice as fast to keep up so he has some work to do

explanation:   if the mass has units of kilograms and the velocity of meters per second, the kinetic energy has units of kilograms-meters squared per second squared.
