Because the Potassium ion loses an electron, the electrons come a little closer to the nucleus because they are attracted to the protons. This makes the ion smaller in radius

a book with a mass of 1 kg is dropped from a height of 3 m. what is the potential energy of the book when it reaches the floor?
mafiozo [28]
Well, first of all, the formula for finding potential energy is;
PE=mgh
  Where; m is the mass
               g is the gravitational force or acceleration due to gravity
                h is the height. 
   Anyway, according to the question, the mass is 1kg, the acceleration due to gravity has a constant value of 10ms² . And the height is 3m. Now you just have to use all these in the formula. So;
mgh= 1 x 10 x 3. That will be 30. And the unit of potential energy is Joule. So the answer is 30 joules. Hope i helped. Have a nice day.

Using the balanced equation for the combustion of ethane: 2C2H6 + 7O2 → 4CO2 + 6H2O, how many moles of O2 needed to produce 12 m
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

14 moles of oxygen needed to produce 12 moles of H2O.

Explanation:

We are given that balance eqaution

2C_2H_6+7O_2\rightarrow 4CO_2+6H_2O

We have to find number of moles of O2 needed  to produce 12 moles of H2O.

From given equation

We can see that

6 moles of   H2O produced by Oxygen =7 moles

1 mole of   H2O produced by Oxygen=\frac{7}{6}moles

12 moles of H2O produced by Oxygen=\frac{7}{6}\times 12moles

12 moles of H2O produced by Oxygen=7\times 2moles

12 moles of H2O produced by Oxygen=14 moles

Hence, 14 moles of oxygen needed to produce 12 moles of H2O.

Is it the power of material evidence that wins, not the authority of experts that
kvasek [131]

Yes, it is the power of material evidence that wins.

  • Evidence used to support or refute a scientific theory or hypothesis is known as material evidence.
  • Evidence is also used by scientists in various contexts, such as when they apply ideas to real-world issues.
  • Whether a person accepts the data as proof depends on their presumptions or views regarding how observations relate to a theory.
  • A creative hypothesis is developed by a scientist and may be refuted by testing it against evidence or established truths.
  • Evidence can refute a hypothesis by demonstrating facts that are at odds with it. In contrast, the presence of evidence does not preclude the possibility of future, undiscovered evidence supporting the idea.

Therefore, it is the power of material evidence that wins, not the authority of experts that

proves an answer in Science.
