we know from Newton’s 2nd Law of Motion that the force on an object is equal to the mass of the object times the acceleration of

that object. a 9kg bowling ball was thrown with a force of 5 N. what was its acceleration? Be sure to show how you solved the problem, not just the answer. show all of your work.

The acceleration of the ball was 0.6 m·s⁻².

<em>F = ma</em>

<em>a = F</em>/<em>m</em> = 5 N/9 kg × (1 kg·m·s⁻²/1 N) = 0.6 m·s⁻²

Which correctly describes the reaction between potassium and excess water?

nika2105 [10]

Balanced chemical reaction: 2K(s) + 2H₂O(l) → 2KOH(aq) + H₂(g).

KOH is inorganic compound p<span>otassium hydroxide, a strong base.
H</span>₂ is hydrogen gas.
In balanced chemical reaction number of atoms on both side of chemical reaction must be same. There are two potassium atoms, four hydrogen atoms and two oxygen atoms on both side of reaction.

Cellular respiration uses glucose and oxygen, which have high levels of free energy, and releases carbon dioxide and water, whic

Alja [10]

Answer: Cellular respiration is spontaneous and exergonic. The energy released from the glucose is stored in ATP molelcules.

Explanation:

Spontaneous reactions have an increase in entropy (level of disorder) and a decrease in enthalpy (total energy). Cellular respiration goes from a more ordered state (one molecule of glucose) to a more disordered state (several molecules of CO2), and goes from a state with a lot of free energy to one with much less free energy. As a result, respiration is a spontaneous process.

As free energy from the glucose is released as ATP molecules during oxidation, the reaction is exergonic.

A compound is composed of C, H and O. A 1.621 g sample of this compound was combusted, producing 1.902 g of water and 3.095 g of

vlada-n [284]

Answer: The molecular of the compound is, $C_2H_3O$

Explanation:

The chemical equation for the combustion of hydrocarbon having carbon, hydrogen and oxygen follows:

$C_xH_yO_z+O_2\rightarrow CO_2+H_2O$

where, 'x', 'y' and 'z' are the subscripts of Carbon, hydrogen and oxygen respectively.

We are given:

Mass of $CO_2=3.095g$

Mass of $H_2O=1.902g$

We know that:

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

For calculating the mass of carbon:

In 44 g of carbon dioxide, 12 g of carbon is contained.

So, in $3.095g$ of carbon dioxide, $\frac{12}{44}\times 3.095=0.844g$ of carbon will be contained.

For calculating the mass of hydrogen:

In 18 g of water, 2 g of hydrogen is contained.

So, in $1.902g$ of water, $\frac{2}{18}\times 1.092=0.121g$ of hydrogen will be contained.

For calculating the mass of oxygen:

Mass of oxygen in the compound = $(1.621)-[(0.844)+(0.121)]=0.656g$

To formulate the empirical formula, we need to follow some steps:

Step 1: Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Carbon = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Carbon}}{\text{Molar mass of Carbon}}=\frac{0.844g}{12g/mole}=0.0703moles$

Moles of Hydrogen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Hydrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of Hydrogen}}=\frac{0.121g}{1g/mole}=0.121moles$

Moles of Oxygen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of oxygen}}{\text{Molar mass of oxygen}}=\frac{0.656g}{16g/mole}=0.041moles$

Step 2: Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

For the mole ratio, we divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles calculated which is $0.041$ moles.

For Carbon = $\frac{0.0703}{0.041}=1.71\approx 2$

For Hydrogen = $\frac{0.121}{0.041}=2.95\approx 3$

For Oxygen = $\frac{0.041}{0.041}=1$

Step 3: Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of C : H : O = 2 : 3 : 1

Hence, the empirical formula for the given compound is $C_2H_3O_1=C_2H_3O$

The empirical formula weight = 2(12) + 3(1) + 1(16) = 43 gram/eq

Now we have to calculate the molecular formula of the compound.

Formula used :

$n=\frac{\text{Molecular formula}}{\text{Empirical formula weight}}$

$n=\frac{46.06}{43}=1$

Molecular formula = $(C_2H_3O_1)_n=(C_2H_3O_1)_1=C_2H_3O$

Therefore, the molecular of the compound is, $C_2H_3O$
