According to the law of multiple proportions, if 12 g of carbon combine with 16 g of oxygen to form co, the number of grams of c
1 answer:
The number of grams of carbon that combine with 16 g of oxygen in the formation of CO₂ is 6g.
When two elements combine to make more than one compound, the masses of one element combined with a fixed amount of another element are in the ratio of whole numbers, according to the law of multiple proportions.
When combined with oxygen, carbon can produce two different compounds. They are referred to as carbon dioxide (CO₂) and carbon monoxide (CO).
Carbon monoxide is formed by combining 12 g of carbon with 16 g of oxygen whereas Carbon dioxide is formed when 12 g of carbon reacts with 32 g of oxygen. The amount of carbon is fixed at 12 g in each case. The mass ratio of carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide is 16: 32, or 1: 2.
But in the given case, 16g of oxygen is reacting instead of 32g. Therefore, the number of grams of carbon reacting will be:
Thus, 6g of carbon will react with 16g of oxygen to form carbon dioxide.

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Newton's second Law and the force of friction. According to Newton, the Force is defined as
F = ma
Where,
m= Mass
a = Acceleration
At the same time the frictional force can be defined as,
Where,
Frictional coefficient
N = Normal force (mass*gravity)
Our values are given as,
By condition of Balance the friction force must be equal to the total net force, that is to say
Re-arrange to find acceleration,
Therefore the acceleration the horse can give is
The rate at which the height is changing is ( 5 / x ) m / hr
We know that,
Area of an equilateral triangle A =
/ 4
h = x / 2
Where,
x = Side
h = Height
Given that,
dA / dt = 5 / hr
h = x / 2
Differentiate both sides with respect to t
dh / dt = ( / 2 ) ( dx / dt )
dx / dt = ( 2 / ) ( dh / dt )
A =
/ 4
Differentiate both sides with respect to t
dA / dt = ( / 4 ) ( 2x ) ( dx / dt )
5 = ( / 4 ) ( 2x ) ( 2 /
) ( dh / dt )
dh / dt = ( 5 / x ) m / hr
Rate of change of height is defined as the rate at which height of an object changes with respect to time. It is represented as dh / dt
Therefore, the rate at which the height is changing is ( 5 / x ) m / hr
