Which would exert more pressure on the floor, a 100kg man wearing snow shoes or a 60kg woman wearing high heels? PLEASE EXPLAIN
1 answer:
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
Force exerted by the man of mass 100 kg =
Force exerted by woman of mass 60 kg =
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 : The excess reactant in the combustion of methane in opem atmosphere is molecule.
Solution : Given,
Mass of methane = 23 g
Molar mass of methane = 16.04 g/mole
The Net balanced chemical reaction for combustion of methane is,
First we have to calculate the moles of methane.
=
= 1.434 moles
From the above chemical reaction, we conclude that
1 mole of methane react with the 2 moles of oxygen
and 1.434 moles of methane react to give moles of oxygen
The Moles of oxygen = 2.868 moles
Now we conclude that the moles of oxygen are more than the moles of methane.
Therefore, the excess reactant in the combustion of methane in open atmosphere is molecule.
