Explain the difference between mass and weight. Why is your weight on the Moon one-sixth that on Earth?

Chemistry

Trava [24]1 year ago

The weight on moon is  (1/6)^t^h of the weight at earth because the value of g reduces to  (1/6)^t^h on moon.

Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, and Weight is the amount of force that gravity exerts on an object.

What is the relation between mass and weight?

  • The main difference between mass and weight is: Mass is a scientific measure of the amount of matter an object is made of. Regardless of where you are at any given moment, the mass is constant.
  • However, weight is actually a description of gravity on an object.
  • The relation between mass (m) and weight (W) is W = m * g.      Thus, weight is defined as the product of mass and gravitational acceleration (g)
  • As weight depends on the value of gravitational acceleration, it changes as the value of g changes.
  • Now, the value of g at moon is (1/6)^t^h of the value of g at earth, that means the weight on moon is  (1/6)^t^h of the weight on earth.

What is the relationship between the amount of substance ( concentration) and reaction rates?
jekas [21]

Answer:

Increasing the concentration of the reagents makes the collision between two molecules of the reagents more likely, thereby increasing the probability that the reaction will occur between these reagents.

As for the relationship between concentration and volume, density also comes into play, a higher volume, lower molarity and also lower concentration.

The pressure when increasing could generate a closer approach between the particles, therefore generating an increase in the reaction speed.

Pressure and volume are related but inversely proportional, therefore if the volume increases the pressure decreases and so on.

the reaction rate increases as the contact surface area increases. This is due to the fact that more solid particles are exposed and can be reached by reactant molecules.

A perfect reaction where the collision is promoted and the reaction speed advances is with the presence of a solvent, with an increase in pressure and a decrease in volume, with an increase in the exposure of the surface, with the presence of a catalyst, with increasing temperature and with increasing entrance

Explanation:

The reaction rate is defined as the amount of substance that is transformed into a certain reaction per unit of volume and time. For example, the oxidation of iron under atmospheric conditions is a slow reaction that can take many years but over time it is oxidized sooner or later by the oxygenation of its surface layer, but the combustion of butane in a fire is a reaction that happens in fractions of seconds, giving rise to an exothermic reaction with products such as CO2 and H2O

What would happen to the annual rates of limestone (CaCO3) precipitation in the ocean if the ocean water were to become much war
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

CaCO3 exoskeleton dissolves in acidic water

Explanation:

The increasing CO2 level makes the ocean water acidic and hence reduces the pH. In such acidic environment, marine organism that produce calcium carbonate shells or skeletons are negatively affected. Coral reefs and coralline algae abilities to produce skeleton also reduces.  

Calcium carbonate dissolves in acid. Thus, the more acidic the ocean water is the faster and easier it is to dissolve the exoskeleton and shell of marine organisms made up of calcium carbonate
