<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

The ratio is 2:1

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <em><u>The reaction above is a combustion reaction where potassium metal reacts with oxygen to form potassium oxide</u></em>.
  • From the equation<em><u> 4 moles of potassium reacts with one mole of oxygen to form 2 moles of potassium oxide.</u></em> This is achieved by balancing the equation so as to obey the law of conservation of mass which requires the number of atoms of an element to be the same in either side of a chemical reaction.
  • Therefore, t<em><u>he ratio of atoms of potassium to the atoms of oxygen will be 4:2, which when simplified gives 2:1.</u></em>

Answer: The ratio of atoms of potassium to ratio of atoms of oxygen is 4:2

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed, and remains conserved. The mass of products must be same as that of the reactants.

Thus the number of atoms of each element must be same on both sides of the equation so as to keep the mass same and thus balanced chemical equations are written.

K exists as atoms and oxygen exist as molecule which consists of 2 atoms. The ratio of number of atoms on both sides of the reaction are same and thus the ratio of atoms of potassium to ratio of atoms of oxygen is 4:2.

The weight of a standard object defined as having a mass of exactly 2.9 kg is measured to be 28.449 n. in the same laboratory, a
PtichkaEL [24]
Mass of the object m = 2.9 kg 
Force F1 = 28.449 N 
F1 = m1 x a => a = F / m => 28.449 / 2.9 => a = 9.81, which is gravitational acceleration. 
In the same lab, a = g = 9.81, second object F2 = 48.7N = m2 x a 
m2 = F2 / a => 48.7 / 9.81 => m2 = 4.96 kg 
Mass of the second object m2 = 4.96 kg

Hooke’s law states that the distance that a spring is stretched by hanging object varies directly as the mass of the object. If
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

d_{2} = 33.33 cm

Explanation:

Given:

When mass, m_{1} =21 kg

          distance travelled is  d_{1}  = 140 cm

When mass, m_{2} =5 kg

         distance travelled is  d_{2}  = ?

Hooke's law state that within elastic limit, when an external force is applied to a body, the body gets deformed and when the force is released the gets back to its original form.

Therefore according to the question,

\frac{d_{1}}{m_{1}}=\frac{d_{2}}{m_{2}}

\frac{140}{21}=\frac{d_{2}}{5}

d_{2} = 33.33 cm

Distance travelled is 33.33 cm when mass is 5 kg.

Find the average energy E for (a) An n-state system, in which a given state can have energy 0,,2,...,n . (b) A harmonic oscillat
kicyunya [14]

Answer:

a♦1  E_average = n E₀ / 2 , b) E_average= infinity

Explanation:

The energy values ​​form an arithmetic series, whose sum is

          S = n (a₁ + aₙ) / 2 = n (2a₁ + (n-1) r)/ 2

Where n is the number of terms, a₁ is the first term, aₙ the last term and r is the difference between two consecutive numbers in the series

          r = 2E₀ - 0 = 2E₀

Therefore the sum is

       S = n (0 + n E₀) / 2

      S = n² E₀ / 2

     

The average value is

         E_average = S / n

         E_average = n E₀ / 2

b) the case of harmonic oscillation

We have two possibilities.

- if we take a finite number and terms gives the same previous value

- If we take an infinite number of fears the series gives infinity and the average is also infinite

          E_average= infinity
