Water gains energy to turn into vapours! Doesn't it? So shouldn't it be endothermic?!

And I am a girl everyone! Everyone just assumes I am a guy!
Well from a bond energy point of view, the energy it takes in to break its bonds is less than the total energy it gives out as its bonds are broken ! Therein, it is exothermic ! :)

nopes its endothermic go to the individual thread made by RuckingFetard to get explanation

OMG that was so confusing ( Literally i feel like i've never studied this) ! Anyway,
so what we conclude is, this ?
solid--->liquid---->gas = always endothermic because it has to take in energy to break strong bonds in order to form less stable states (thus positive enthalpy)

gas---->liquid---->solid = always exothermic because energy is released as you are forming new, stronger bonds to form the more stable state (thus negative enthalpy)

To find magnification

magnification = length of image \ actaul length

To find length of image

length of image = magnification * actaul length


i hope this helps :)

THNX A LOOT! :D

Q the survivor of a shipwreck lands on an island which is 300m from a vertical clif he sees a ship anchored between the island and the cliff. a blast from the ship's horn is heard twice with a time lapse of 4s. Calculate the distance d of the ship from the island (Assume that the speed of the sound=330ms).

d) i)
The balanced equation along with the symbols can easily be made by looking at the Perodic Table!
Pb^+2 (aqueous) + 2I^-1 (aqueous) = PbI^2 (solid) (the symbol here means to state wheather it's solid, liquid, gas or aqueous).

Not sure about part ii

d ii) X is a reducing agent as it itself oxidised n reduced manganate ions.. (Mn VII are green so are *reduced* wen they turn orange-brown)

need some help with Physics Syllabus contents
(d)Describe a simple form of a.c generator (rotating coil or rotating magnet) and the use of slip rings where needed.
(e) sketch a graph of voltage output against time for a simple A.C generator.
(f) describe the structure and principle of operation of a simple iron-cored transformer.
(h)Discuss the environmental and cost implications of underground power transmission compared ot overhead lines.

for a.c generator.. refer to Explaining Physics (a book wid blue front cover)
cuz itd b really lengthy xplaining it here
