Answer:

Mechanical advantage = 8

Explanation:

It is given that,

A screw has 4 threads per centimeter.

The circumference of the screw, C = 2 cm = 0.02 m

The mechanical advantage of a screw is given by :

$MA=\dfrac{circumference}{pitch}$ .............(1)

Pitch of a screw is defined as the number of threads per inch on the screw i.e.

Pitch = 1 / number of threads per inch or cm

or pitch = 1/4

$MA=\dfrac{2}{1/4}$

MA = 8

Hence, the mechanical advantage of the screw is 8.

iren [92.7K]

Answer:

* No precipitate: $LiOH(aq)+NaCl(aq)\rightarrow LiCl(aq)+NaOH(aq)$

* Precipitate: $3BaCl_2(aq) +2Na_3PO_4(aq) \rightarrow Ba_3(PO_4)_2(s)+6NaCl(aq)$

* Precipitate: $MgSO_4(aq)+2KOH(aq)\rightarrow Mg(OH)_2(s)+K_2SO_4(aq)$

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since these all are double displacement reactions, in which the cations and anions are exchanged, we can write the resulting chemical reactions as follows:

a. LiOH and NaCl: No precipitate is formed since LiOH and NaOH are both largely soluble in water:

$LiOH(aq)+NaCl(aq)\rightarrow LiCl(aq)+NaOH(aq)$

b. BaCl2 and Na3PO4: barium phosphate precipitate is formed because it has a large molar mass which makes it insoluble in water:

$3BaCl_2(aq) +2Na_3PO_4(aq) \rightarrow Ba_3(PO_4)_2(s)+6NaCl(aq)$

c. MgSO4 and KOH: magnesium hydroxide "milky" precipitate is formed because it is not soluble in water:

$MgSO_4(aq)+2KOH(aq)\rightarrow Mg(OH)_2(s)+K_2SO_4(aq)$

Moreover, we can relate the solubility of a substance by considering its polarity, molar mass and nature; usually, heavy substances tend to be insoluble in water as well as nonpolar compounds.

Best regards!

VA 19.75-g sample was heated by 12.35 calories. The specific heat of the sample is 0.125 cal/g°C. What was the initial temperatu

SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

31.9 °C

Explanation:

The formula for the heat q absorbed by an object is

q = mCΔT where ΔT = (T₂ - T₁)

Data:

q = 12.35 cal

m = 19.75 g

C = 0.125 cal°C⁻¹g⁻¹

T₂ = 37.0 °C

Calculations

(a) Calculate ΔT

q = mCΔT

12.35 cal = 19.25 g × 0.125 cal°C⁻¹g⁻¹ × ΔT

12.35 = 2.406ΔT °C⁻¹

ΔT = 12.35/(2.406 °C⁻¹) = 5.13 °C

(b) Calculate T₂

ΔT = T₂ - T₁

T₁ = T₂ - ΔT = 37.0 °C - 5.13 °C = 31.9 °C

The original temperature was 31.9 °C.

Answer: The body produce NADPH a reducing equivalents as antioxidants.

Explanation:

During the pentose phosphate pathway reducing equivalents like NADPH is produced which help to prevent oxidative stress. It reduces glutathione via glutathione reductase which converts reactive H2O2 to H2O by glutathione peroxidase.
