Is sucrose dissolving a chemical change?

No, it is a physical change because the molecules of sucrose are not altered, just suspended in a solvent.


True or false Nuclear reactions convert matter into energy?

False.Atoms themselves only change during nuclear decay, fusion or fission. Outer electrons can be shared, donated or received during bonding but the atom doesn't change in and of itself.When matter changes state the bonds themselves are not affected. All that happens in a change of state is that molecules gain more kinetic energy. The bonds within the molecules are not altered.


Is less gasoline that remains in the gas tank as carbon dioxide physical change or chemical change?

The molecules are being altered so it is chemical change.


What is the difference between momentum and kinetic energy and why is it that kinetic energy can be changed in to other forms of energy but momentum cant?

Firstly, momentum is not a form of energy; the question seems to imply so. Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a moving object. That energy is provided by a source, and can be removed from the object because energy possessed by an object is not an inherent part of that given object. Momentum is a property of mass; momentum is inherent in the mass of the object, and cannot be removed or put somewhere else, only altered.


Is a glass breaking a chemical change?

A chemical change is when the molecules of an object / solution are changed. A physical change is when the object / solution is altered without molecular change. Breaking glass is a physical change.

When potential energy turns into kinetic do the air molecules expand?

Molecules of air are mainly nitrogen and oxygen, N2 and O2. The '2' subscript means each molecule contains two atoms. The molecules themselves do not change with changes in energy, pressure, temperature etc. I'm not sure what you mean by potential energy turning into kinetic energy. I can visualise one route, where you have air pressurised in a container, then you release the pressure and the air rushes out, gaining kinetic energy. In this case the molecules of air will soon collide with the air that they are going into and be slowed down until mixed and at the same pressure and temperature. The density of the air will be lower than it was in the pressurised container. This means not so many molecules in a unit volume, so their mean distance apart will be greater. If that is what you mean by 'expand' then I agree, but the molecules themselves are not altered.

How wood converted to heat energy?

This goes back to the second theory of thermodynamics....Matter is not created or destroyed...only altered. In this case the wood is altered into fire and the fire produces heat.

Why does it happen enzyme after it participates in a reaction?

After the enzyme has converted the substrate to the product, it is now free to accept more substrate. The enzyme does not get changed or altered in a reaction.

The distance is the same no matter what driving speed is used, only the driving time is altered.


What is an isometry?

A isometry is a transformation where distance (aka size) is preserved. In a dilation, the size is being altered, so no, it is not an isometry.
