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.

Which of the following equations demonstrates an actual chemical reaction that forms a new substance? A.ZN + 2HCl → 2NCl2 + H2 B
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

The first option is the only option where new products are formed.

In the D option no new product is formed.

Same goes with option C.

In B no new products are formed.

Change is said to be taken place only with formation of new products from reactants.

Well insulated houses use less energy to keep them warm. This means that less carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, is released into the atmosphere from burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and gas) in our power stations and central heating boilers. Global warming is occurring because large volumes of greenhouse gases – including carbon dioxide – are accumulating in the Earth’s atmosphere. This causes the planet’s average air and ocean temperatures to increase and sea levels to rise, resulting in increasingly severe weather conditions. This effect is called climate change and it’s already happening. By improving the insulation of your home, you will be playing your part in reducing the effect of global warming.

Consider an endothermic reaction C(s) CO2(g)2CO(g) If such a system at equilibrium is heated and compressed at the same time, wh
RSB [31]

Answer:

A. It will shift to the left

Explanation:

In the equilibrium:

C(s) ⇄ CO2(g)2CO(g)

The system will shift to the right if any change stimulate the production of gas -LeChatelier's principle-; in the same way, if a change doesn't favors the production of gas the system will shift to the left producing less gas.

The changes that increasing the pressure of the system, doesn't favors the gas production doing the system shift to the left.

A gas that is heated expands itsellf doing the pressure increases.

In the same way, if you compress the gas, the gas increases its pressure.

Thus, both changes increase pressure of the gas doing the system shift to the left.

<h3>A. It will shift to the left </h3>

A fluorine atom has 9 positive charge,9 negative charges and a mass of 19. Describe the structure of its atom.
Tanya [424]
The atomic structure of the atom contains 9 positively charged particles (protons) and 10 neutrally charged particles (neutrons) in the center of the atom in a clump called the nucleus. Those 9 negatively charged particles (electrons) are moving around outside of the nucleus.
There are 10 neutral charges, because the mass of 19 comes from the number of neutral charges plus the number of positive charges.
To calculate the number of neutral charges, subtract the positive charges from the mass (19 - 9), and you get the number of neutral charges (10).
