No, work is not done whenever you hold a heavy object for a long time

The result of a force's displacement and its component of force exerted by the object in the direction of displacement is what is known as the force's work. When we push a block with some force, the body moves quickly and work is completed.

No work, as that term is used here, is done until the object is moved in some way and a component of the force travels along the path that the object is moved. Because there is no displacement when holding a heavy object still, energy is not transferred to it.

Describe in your own words, in terms of particle movement and energy, what occurs when a liquid is cooled to its freezing point.

IRINA_888 [86]

Liquids have free and fast moving particles. Liquids do not take a specific shape unless they are enclosed such as in a bottle. Anyway, since they are free flowing when they freeze, their movement becomes very slow. Eventually the particles will not have room to move as they used to and will be held in one place. The particles are still moving but they are only shaking or vibrating in the same place. You can't even tell this movement is happening, and that is what happens when liquid freezes.

How many grams of NaCl (molecular weight = 58.4 g mole-1) would you dissolve in water to make a total volume of 500 mL of soluti

kolezko [41]

Given :

Volume , V = 500 mL .

Molarity , M = 0.5 M .

Molecular mass of NaCl is $58.4\ g/mole$ .

To Find :

How many grams of NaCl is required .

Solution :

Let , NaCl required is x gram .

Molarity is given by :

$M=\dfrac{\text{Number of moles}}{\text{Volume (in liters) }}\\\\M=\dfrac{m}{M\times V}\\\\0.5=\dfrac{x}{58.4\times 0.5}\\\\x=0.5^2\times 58.4\ g\\\\x=14.6\ g$

Hence , this is the required solution.

PLS HELP Students in a chemistry class added 5 g of Zinc (Zn) to 50 g of hydrochloric acid (HCl). A chemical reaction occurred t

Vitek1552 [10]

Answer: In simplest case mass of reactants is same as mass of products.

Without thinking this question deeper, mass of ZnCl2 would be 49, but..

Explanation: Reaction should be Zn + 2 HCl ⇒ ZnCl2 + H2

Amount of zinc is 5 g / 65,38 g/mol = 0,076476 mol and amount

of Hydrogen Chloride is 50 g / 36.458 g/mol = 1,371 mol.

Althought HCl is needed 0.152 moles, zinc is an limiting reactant.

So it is possible to produce only 0.076476 mol Hydrogen and its mass

is 0.154 g. Mass of ZnCl2 would be 0.076476 mol · (65.38 + 2·35.45) =

10.42 g

Which of the following conditions will ensure that a chemical reaction will definitely proceed in the forward direction, toward

Grace [21]

Answer:

When ΔS > ΔH/ T, then the reaction will proceed forward

Explanation:

The entity that determines the whether a reaction will occur on its own in the forward direction (Spontaneity or Feasibility) is Gibb's free energy.

Gibb's free energy is the energy available to do work. It is denoted as 'G'. It cannot be easily measured. The change (ΔG) can only be measured. ΔG = ΔH - TΔS

when ΔG is positive, The reaction is not spontaneous (reaction will not occur on its own)

When ΔG is negative, The reaction is spontaneous (reaction will occur on its own)

When ΔG is zero, the reaction is in equilibrium

Option A and E are not correct. ΔH (Enthalpy) cannot determine spontaneity

Option C and D cannot alone determine spontaneity of reaction

For reaction to be spontaneous, TΔS > ΔH

Therefore, ΔS > ΔH/T
