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
6 0

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.

Calculate the mass-to-mass ratio of 25.0 g of salt in 105 g of water. Work must be shown in order to earn credit.
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

0.23

Explanation:

  • It is known that, the mass to mass ratio of the salt to water

= (mass of salt / mass of water)

= (25.0 g / 105.0 g)

= 0.23

  • So, the answer is 0.23

Vitamin C contains the elements C, H, and O. It is known to contain 40.9% C and 4.58% H by mass. The molar mass of vitamin C has
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

C₆H₈O₆

Explanation:

First off, the<u> percent of oxygen by mass</u> of vitamin C is:

  • 100 - (40.9+4.58) = 54.52 %

<em>Assume we have one mol of vitamin C</em>. Then we would have <em>180 grams</em>, of which:

  • 180 * 40.9/100 = 73.62 grams are of Carbon
  • 180 * 4.58/100 = 8.224 grams are of Hydrogen
  • 180 * 54.52/100 = 98.136 grams are of Oxygen

Now we <u>convert each of those masses to moles</u>, using the <em>elements' respective atomic mass</em>:

  • C ⇒ 73.62 g ÷ 12 g/mol = 6.135 mol C ≅ 6 mol C
  • H ⇒ 8.224 g ÷ 1 g/mol = 8.224 mol H ≅ 8 mol H
  • O ⇒ 98.136 g ÷ 16 g/mol = 6.134 mol O ≅ 6 mol O

So the molecular formula for vitamin C is C₆H₈O₆

Hydrogen is a reactive gas under normal conditions.Based on this property alone, to which group of the periodic table should hyd
denis23 [38]
Even though Hydrogen is originally in group 1, based on this property, we can say it is in group 6.

Because:

Group 6 would mean that it only needs 2 more valence electrons till the octet (8 valence electrons). This would make it reactive, yet, in normal conditions, unlike group 7.

One of relatively few reactions that takes place directly between two solids at room temperature is <img src="https://tex.z-dn.n
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

a) Ba(OH)₂.8H₂O(s) + <em>2 </em>NH₄SCN(s) → Ba(SCN)₂(s) +<em>10</em> H₂O(l) + <em>2</em> NH₃(g)

b) 3.14g must be added

Explanation:

a) For the reaction:

Ba(OH)₂.8H₂O(s) + NH₄SCN(s) → Ba(SCN)₂(s) + H₂O(l) + NH₃(g)

As you see, there are 8 moles of water in reactants and 2 moles of oxygen in octahydrate, thus, water moles must be 10:

Ba(OH)₂.8H₂O(s) + NH₄SCN(s) → Ba(SCN)₂(s) +<em>10</em> H₂O(l) + NH₃(g)

To balance hydrogens, the other coefficients are:

Ba(OH)₂.8H₂O(s) + <em>2 </em>NH₄SCN(s) → Ba(SCN)₂(s) +<em>10</em> H₂O(l) + <em>2</em> NH₃(g)

b) As you see in the balanced reaction, 1 mole of barium hydroxide octahydrate reacts with 2 moles of NH₄SCN. 6.5g of Ba(OH)₂.8H₂O are:

6.5 g × (1mol / 315.48g) =<em> 0.0206moles of  Ba(OH)₂.8H₂O</em>. Thus, moles of NH₄SCN that must be used for a complete reaction are:

0.0206moles of  Ba(OH)₂.8H₂O × ( 2 mol NH₄SCN / 1 mol Ba(OH)₂.8H₂O) = <em>0.0412moles of NH₄SCN</em>. In grams:

0.0412moles of NH₄SCN × ( 76.12g / 1mol) = <em>3.14g must be added</em>

A flask with vinegar in it has a mass of 160 grams. a balloon with baking soda in it has a mass of 40 grams. the balloon is atta
Rashid [163]
Following the Law of Conservation of Mass, you simply add the mass of both substances. Thus, 160 grams + 40 grams = 200 grams. So, even if initially, they are in liquid and solid form, they would still have the same mass even if they change phases, owing to that they are in a closed space.
