Watch the spout of a teakettle of boiling water. Notice that you cannot see the steam that issues from the spout. The cloud that you see farther away from the spout is not steam but condensed water droplets. Now hold the flame of a candle in the cloud of condensed steam. Can you explain your observations?

How does the kinetic theory describe a gas?
The density or gasoline is 7.30 102 kg/m3 at 0C. Its average coefficient of volume expansion is 9.60 104(C)1 and note that 1.00 gal = 0.003 80 m3. (a) Calculate the mass of 10.0 gal of gas at 0C. (b) If 1.000 m3 of gasoline at 0C is warmed by 20.0C, calculate its new volume. (c) Using the answer to part (b), calculate the density of gasoline at 20.0C. (d) Calculate the mass of 10.0 gal of gas at 20.0C. (e) How many extra kilograms of gasoline would you get if you bought 10.0 gal of gasoline at 0C rather than at 20.0C from a pump that is not temperature compensated?
Why do vapor bubbles in a pot of boiling water get larger as they approach the surface?
A middle school student asks you why hot air rises. Explain in one to three sentences the reason that hot air rises. The students understands what density is, so you should include that in your explanation.
How do the pressure, temperature, and volume of a gas relate to one another?
A thermometer is taken from an indoor enclosure to the outdoor environment, where the air temperature is 5 . After 1 minute, the thermometer reads 55 , and after 5 minutes it reads 30 . What is the temperature of the indoor enclosure? Note:The exercise in the image is in Spanish, but it is easy to understand. explain the steps you perform, step by step please check carefully, every step you make, and check if the answer is correct, please! because usually the answer I get at bartleby is wrong.... so check if the answer is correct, thank you!
