Which materials are typically used as thermal insulators? check all that apply.
a. copper
b. foam
c. ceramic
d. wood
e. plastic

Answer : The correct options are, (B) Foam, (C) Ceramic, (D) Wood and (E) Plastic

Explanation :

As we know that the conductor is the material that conduct or transmits the energy or electricity through them and insulator is the material that resist the energy transfer.

There are different types of insulators and conductors which are:

Electrical conductor : It is a type of material that conducts electrons, protons and ions. It conduct electricity. For example : silver, gold, copper, steel, brass, etc.

Thermal conductor : It is a type of material that conducts heat. For example: diamond, silver, gold, etc.

Electrical insulator : It is a type of material in which the electrical charges do not flow freely that means very little amount of electric current flow through them. For example : glass, plastic, rubber, porcelain, pure water, dry paper, dry wood, etc.

Thermal insulator : It is a type of material that reduces the transfer of heat between the object in thermal contact. For example : polystyrene foam, water, wool, plastic, ceramic, wood.

Hence, the materials typically used as thermal insulators are, foam, ceramic, wood and plastic.

the grams   of   barium that   are in   2.3 x 10^23   atoms of barium   is   52.4 g (answer c)

    calculation

mass = moles   of ba   x molar   mass of ba

  molar mass of ba from periodic table=   137.3 g/mol

  use the   avogadro's law   constant   to   calculate the moles of barium

  that   is     1 mole =   6.02   x 10^23 atoms

                    ? moles = 2.3 x 10^23   atoms

by cross   multiplication

=(1 mole   x 2.3x 10^23 atoms)   / 6.02   x10^23 atoms)=   0.382   moles

mass   is therefore = 137.3   g/mol x 0.382 mol = 52.4 ( answer c)

explanation:

the correct answer would be b) volume versus temperature, because they are also directly proportional.
