Pressure can be defined as the force acting on a perpendicular surface per unit area.

Force exerted by a man of mass 100 kg wearing snow shoes = m.a

Where m = mass of the man = 100 kg

a = acceleration due to gravity= 9.8 m/s^{2}

Force exerted by the man of mass 100 kg = 100 kg(9.8 m/s^{2}) = 980 N

Force exerted by woman of mass 60 kg = 60 kg(9.8 m/s^{2}) = 588 N

Force exerted by 100 kg man is greater than that exerted as 60 kg woman. The area on which this force is acting determines the pressure. Pressure is inversely proportional to the area on which the force acts. Therefore, the pressure exerted by 100 kg man wearing snow shoes is less than the pressure exerted by a 60 kg woman woman wearing high heels as the force acts over a larger area when the man wears snow shoes when compared to the force exerted over a smaller area in case of the woman wearing high heels.

Answer:

There are 8Si atoms and 16 O atoms per unit cell

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Edge length l=0.700nm=>0.7*10^9nm

Density \rho=2.32g/cm^3

Generally the equation for Volume is mathematically given by

V=l^3

V=(0.7*10^9)m^3

V=3,43*10^-{22}cm

Where

Molar mass of  (SiO2) for one formula unit

M=28+32

M=60g/mol

Therefore

Density of Si per unit length is

\rho_{si}=\frac{9.96*10^{23}}{3.43*10^22}

\rho=0.29

Molar mass of  (SiO2) for one formula unit

M=28+32

M=60g/mol

Therefore

There are 8Si atoms and 16 O atoms per unit cell

When comparing a plant cell to an animal cell, only the plant cell will contain
Travka [436]

Answer:

A plant cell contains a large, singular vacuole that is used for storage and maintaining the shape of the cell. In contrast, animal cells have many, smaller vacuoles. Plant cells have a cell wall, as well as a cell membrane. In plants, the cell wall surrounds the cell membrane.

the density of dry air at 20 degrees celsius is 1.20 g/L. What is the mass of air, in kilograms, of a room that measures 24.0m b
nika2105 [10]

Answer:

1728 kg is the mass of air for the room

Explanation:

An exercise of unit conversion.

The volume of the room will be:

24 m . 15 m . 4m = 1440 m³

Density of air is 1.20 g/L which means that in 1L, there is contained 1.20 g of air.

1L = 1dm³

1m³ = 1000 dm³

1440 m³ . 1000 = 1440000 dm³ ⇒ 1.44x10⁶ L

Density of air = 1.20 g/L = mass of air / volume of air

1.20 g/L = mass of air / 1.44x10⁶ L

1.20 g/L  . 1.44x10⁶ L = mass of air →  1728000 grams

1 g = 1x10⁻³ kg

1728000 g / 1000 = 1728 kg

Use the problem below to answer the question: 34 grams of carbon reacted with an unlimited amount of H2O. The reaction is: C + H
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

There will be produced 79.30 grams of CO and 5.707 grams of H2

Explanation:

The complete question:

Work the entire problem from the beginning.

How many grams of H2 and CO would be formed if 34 grams of carbon reacted with an unlimited amount of H2O? The reaction is:

C + H2O → CO + H2

The atomic mass of C is 12.01 g/mole. The atomic mass of H2 is 2.016 g/mole.

Step 1: Data given

Mass of carbon = 34.00 grams

H2O is in excess

Molar mass of carbon = 12.01 g/mol

Molar mass of H2 = 2.016 g/mol

Step 2: The balanced equation

C + H2O → CO + H2

Step 3: Calculate moles  of carbon

Moles carbon = Mass carbon / molar mass of carbon

Moles carbon = 34.00 g / 12.01 g/mol

Moles carbon = 2.831 moles

Since carbon is the limiting reactant. it will completely be consumed. There won't remain any carbon.

Step 4: Calculate moles of H2O

For 1 mol carbon we need 1 mol of H2O

For 2.831 mol of carbon we need 2.831 moles of H2O

Mass of H2O = 18.02 g/mol * 2.831 moles = 51.01 grams

There will react 51.01 grams of H2O

Step 5: Calculate moles of CO and H2

For 1 mol C we need 1 mol of H2O to produce 1 mol of CO and 1 mol of H2

For 2.831 mol of C and 2.831 mol of H2O we'll have 2.831 mol of CO and 2.831 mol of H2

Step 6: Calculate mass of CO and H2

Mass of CO = 2.831 moles * 28.01 g/mol = 79.30 grams

Mass of H2 = 2.831 moles * 2.016 g/mol = 5.707 grams

There will be produced 79.30 grams of CO and 5.707 grams of H2
