An investigation involves determining which metal is better for making pots that will cook food faster. which is the best hypothesis to use for this investigation? copper is better than iron for making pots. copper is more malleable and heats up faster than iron. if copper is a better conductor, it will heat up faster than iron. if copper heats up faster than iron, it is better for making pots.

Scientists are often interested in knowing the molar heat of combustion – the heat released during the combustion of one mole of a substance. use the periodic table to find molar masses. how many moles of ethanol are present in the sample?

The equation below shows a chemical reaction. a + b + heat —> c + d according to the law of conservation of energy, which statement is true? a. the reactants absorb heat because they have less energy than the products. b. the products release heat because they have more energy than the reactants. c. the reactants generate heat because they have more energy than the products. d. the products require heat to form because they have less energy than the reactants.
