What is the difference between potential and kinetic energy

Chemistry

Potential energy is stored energy in something. For example, when a roller coaster is very high up on the track, it has a lot of potential energy before it goes down the track and continues going.

Kinetic energy is energy in motion. When the roller coaster goes down the track, that potential energy gets turned into kinetic energy.

Answer:

4 cups are about 0.25 gallons

Explanation:

To convert a cup measurement to a gallon measurement, divide the volume by the conversion ratio. The volume in gallons is equal to the cups divided by 16.

Do metals form are anions or cations?
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer: Metals form cations.

The alkali metals (the IA elements) lose a single electron to form a cation with a 1+ charge.

The alkaline earth metals (IIA elements) lose two electrons to form a 2+ cation.

Aluminum, a member of the IIIA family, loses three electrons to form a 3+ cation.

Therefore, metals in the s and p block of the periodic table have 1, 2 or 3 electrons in their outermost orbit (or valence shell). Now to gain a stable octet metals lose either 1, 2 or 3 electrons from the valence shell thus forming cation with +1, +2 or +3 charge.

At a given temperature the vapor pressures of hexane and octane are 183 mmhg and 59.2 mmhg, respectively. Calculate the total va
Bas_tet [7]

Total vapor pressure can be calculated using partial vapor pressures and mole fraction as follows:

P=X_{A}P_{A}+X_{B}P_{B}

Here, X_{A} is mole fraction of A, X_{B} is mole fraction of B, P_{A} is partial pressure of A and P_{B} is partial pressure of B.

The mole fraction of A and B are related to each other as follows:

X_{A}+X_{B}=1

In this problem, A is hexane and B is octane, mole fraction of hexane is given 0.580 thus, mole fraction of octane can be calculated as follows:

X_{octane}=1-X_{hexane}=1-0.58=0.42

Partial pressure of hexane and octane is given 183 mmHg and 59.2 mmHg respectively.

Now, vapor pressure can be calculated as follows:

P=X_{hexane}P_{hexane}+X_{octane}P_{octane}

Putting the values,

P=(0.580)(183 mmHg)+(0.420)(59.2 mmHg)=131 mmHg

Therefore, total vapor pressure over the solution of hexane and octane is 131 mmHg.
