When we can get the Kinetic energy from this formula KE= 1/2 M V^2
and we can get the potential energy from this formula PE =  M g H

we can set that the kinetic energy at the bottom of the fall equals the potential energy at the top so,
KE = PE
1/2 MV^2 = M g H
1/2 V^2 = g H
when V is the velocity, g is an acceleration of gravitational force and H is the height of the fall.
∴ v^2 = 2 * 9.8 * 8 = 156.8
∴ v= √156.8 = 12.5 m/s

What is the mass percent of oxygen in sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3)?
Alenkasestr [34]
The answer is 57.14%.

First we need to calculate molar mass of <span>NaHCO3. Molar mass is mass of 1 mole of a substance. It is the sum of relative atomic masses, which are masses of atoms of the elements.

Relative atomic mass of Na is 22.99 g
</span><span>Relative atomic mass of H is 1 g
</span><span>Relative atomic mass of C is 12.01 g
</span><span>Relative atomic mass of O is 16 g.
</span>
Molar mass of <span>NaHCO3 is:
22.99 g + 1 g + 12.01 g + 3 </span>· <span>16 g = 84 g

Now, mass of oxygen in </span><span>NaHCO3 is:
3 </span>· 16 g = 48 g

mass percent of oxygen in <span>NaHCO3:
48 g </span>÷ 84 g · 100% = 57.14%

Therefore, <span>the mass percent of oxygen in sodium bicarbonate is 57.14%.</span>

How does a system at equilibrium respond to the addition of more reactant
grin007 [14]

Answer:

It favors the forward reaction.

Explanation:

According to Le Chatelier's Principle, when a system at equilibrium suffers a perturbation, the system will react in order to counteract the effect of such perturbation.

If more reactant is added, the system will try to decrease its concentration. It will do so by favoring the forward reaction, decreasing the concentration of the reactant  and increasing the concentration of the products, in order to re-establish the equilibrium.
