CaS is the empirical formula of the compound between calcium and sulphur that has the percent composition 55.6.

When percentages are given, we take a total mass of 100 grams.

Therefore the mass of each element is equal to the percentage given.

Mass of Ca = 55.6 g (given) of

S Mass = 44.4 g (100 - 55.6 = 44.4)

Step 1: Convert the given mass to moles.

moles Ca = given mass Ca / molar mass Ca

moles = 55.6 / 40 = 1.39 moles

mol S = specific mass S / molar mass S

mol = 44.4 / 32 = 1.39 mol

Step 2: Divide the molar ratio of each molar value by the smallest number of moles calculated.

For Ca = 1.39 / 1.39 = 1

For S = 1.39 / 1.39 = 1

The ratio of Ca : S = 1:1

Hence the empirical formula of the given compound will be CaS.

A 1.0-kg ball of putty is released from rest and falls vertically 1.5 m until it strikes a hard floor, where it comes to rest in

topjm [15]

<span>We first calculate the velocity of the ball when it hits the ground; this is equal to the square root of the quantity (2*g*d) where g is the acceleration of gravity (9.8 m/s^2) and d is the distance fallen, 1.5m.

So, we get a velocity of sqrt(2*9.8*1.5) = 5.42 m/s.

We can calculate the impulse force applied to the putty ball by using Newton's second law, which states that the applied force is equal to the product of mass and acceleration, where acceleration can be further decomposed as the change in velocity divided by the change in time. Thus, inputting the known values, we have:

F = ma = m(dv/dt) = 1.0*5.42/0.045 = 120.4 newtons.</span>

A ball is dropped from a height of 20 meters. At what helght does the ball have a velocity of 10 meters/second?

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

5.10 meters.

Explanation:

v²=u²+2gh

or, (10)²=(0)²+2×9.8×h

or, 19.6h=100

or, h=5.10 meters

Hope, this helps you.

Suppose Gabor, a scuba diver, is at a depth of 15m. Assume that: The air pressure in his air tract is the same as the net water

s2008m [1.1K]

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first and second uploaded image

Answer:

Now the ratio of the gases in Gabor's lungs at the depth of 15m to that at

the surface is $\frac{(n/V)_{15\ m}}{(n/V)_{surface}} = 2.5$

The number of moles of gas that must be released is $n= 0.3538\ mols$

Explanation:

We are told from the question that the pressure at the surface is 1 atm and for each depth of 10m below the surface the pressure increase by 1 atm

This means that the pressure at the depth of the surface would be

$P_d = [\frac{15m}{10m} ] (1 atm) + 1 atm$

$= 2.5 atm$

The ideal gas equation is mathematically represented as

$PV = nRT$

Where P is pressure at the surface

V is the volume

R is the gas constant = 8.314 J/mol. K

making n the subject we have

$n = \frac{PV}{RT}$

Considering at the surface of the water the number of moles at the surface would be

$n_s = \frac{P_sV}{RT}$

Substituting $1 atm = 101325 N/m^2$ for $P_s$ , $6L = 6*10^{-3}m^3$ for volume , 8.314 J/mol. K for R , (37° +273) K for T into the equation

$n_s = \frac{(1atm)(6*10^{-3} m^3)}{(8.314J/mol \cdot K)(37 +273)K}$

$= 0.2359 mol$

To obtain the number of moles at the depth of the water we use

$n_d = \frac{P_d V}{RT}$

Where $P_d \ and \ n_d \$ are pressure and no of moles at the depth of the water

Substituting values we have

$n_d = \frac{(2.5)(101325 N/m^2)(6*10^{-3}m^3)}{(8.314 J/mol \cdot K)(37 + 273)K}$

$= 0.5897 mol$

Now to obtain the number of moles released we have

$n = n_d - n_s$

$= 0.5897mol - 0.2359mol$

$=0.3538 \ mol$

The molar concentration at the surface of water is

$[\frac{n}{V} ]_{surface} = \frac{0.2359mol}{6*10^-3m^3}$

$=39.31mol/m^3$

The molar concentration at the depth of water is

$[\frac{n}{V} ]_{15m} = \frac{0.5897}{6*10^{-3}}$

$= 98.28 mol/m^3$

Now the ratio of the gases in Gabor's lungs at the depth of 15m to that at the surface is

$\frac{(n/V)_{15\ m}}{(n/V)_{surface}} = \frac{98.28}{39.31} =2.5$
