Example: 
<span>CH4 + 2 O2 → CO2 + 2 H2O </span>

<span>In the balanced equation above, 1 mole of CH4 will react with 2 moles of O2 to produce 1 mole of CO2 and 1 mole of H2O. </span>
<span>The mass of 1 mole of CH4 = 12 + (4 * 1) = 16 grams </span>
<span>The mass of 2 moles of O2 = 2 * 32 = 64 grams </span>
<span>Total mass of reactants = 16 + 64 = 80 grams </span>

<span>The mass of 1 mole of CO2 = 12 + (2 * 16) = 44 grams </span>
<span>The mass of 2 moles of H2O = 2 * 18 = 36 grams </span>
<span>Total mass of products = 44 + 36 = 80 grams </span>

<span>Before the reaction, there was 80 grams of matter, and after the reaction there is 80 grams of matter! </span>
<span>Matter is conserved!

A 90kg woman and a 60kg boy are standing at rest on a frictionless frozen lake. The boy pushes the woman with a 40N horizontal f
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

The acceleration of the woman is 0.44 m/s²

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the woman, m₁ = 90 kg

mass of the boy, m₂ = 60 kg

The force applied by the boy, f₂ = 40 N

The net horizontal force on the woman = 40 N

Apply Newton's second law of motion to determine the acceleration of the woman;

f = ma

a = f / m

a = 40 / 90

a = 0.44 m/s²

Therefore, the acceleration of the woman is 0.44 m/s²

Reading glasses with a power of 1.50 diopters make reading a book comfortable for you when you wear them 1.8 cmcm from your eye.
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

The near point is  n =44.8 \ cm

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The power is  P  = 1.50

   The  distance from the eye is  k  =  1.8 \ cm

    The distance of the book from the eye is z =  -28 \ cm

Generally the focal length of the glasses is  

       f =  \frac{1}{P}

=>   f =  \frac{1}{1.50 }

=>   f =  0.667 \ m

=>   f =  66.7 \ cm

The object distance is evaluated as

     u  =  z + k

=>   u  =  -28 + 1.8

=>  u  =  -26.2 \ cm

The image distance is evaluated from lens formula as

       \frac{1}{v} = \frac{1}{f} + \frac{1}{u}

=>   \frac{1}{v} = \frac{1}{66.7} + \frac{1}{-26.2}

=>   v=- \frac{1}{0.0232}

=>    v=- 43 \ cm

The  near point is evaluated as

      n = -v +  k

=>    n =-(-43) +  1.8

=>    n =44.8 \ cm

trapecia [35]

Explanation:

The balanced chemical equation is given as:

              2H₂O₂  →  O₂  +  2H₂O

А  There are two peroxide molecules on the reactant side.

The statement is correct because the left hand side is the reactant side. We can read the reaction as;

   2 molecules of hydrogen peroxide decomposed  to given 1 molecule of oxygen gas and 2 molecules of water .

D Mass must be conserved so there are an equal number of molecules in the reactants and products.

E Mass must be conserved so there are an equal number of atoms in the reactants and products.

Since the chemical equation is balanced, choices D and E are correct. The reaction will have equal number of molecules and atoms on both sides of the expression.

Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

3.91

Explanation:

Given that

Final reading of the voltmeter, V2 = 45 v

Initial reading of the voltmeter, V1 = 11.5 v

The dielectric constant k, of a material is usually given as

k = V2/V1

k = 45 / 11.5

k = 3.91

Therefore, the dielectric constant of the material as we've calculated above is sure to be 3.91.

I hope that helps you understand

A moon of mass 1×10^20kg is in a circular orbit around a planet. The planet exerts a gravitational force of 2×10^21n on the moon
vagabundo [1.1K]

Hi there!

In this instance, the centripetal force experienced by the moon is equivalent to the gravitational force.

Thus:
\large\boxed{F_c = F_g}

Centripetal acceleration, according to Newton's Second Law:


\Sigma F = ma \\\\F_c = m * a_c\\\\a_c = \frac{F_c}{m}

Therefore:

a_c = \frac{F_g}{m_m} = \frac{2 * 10^{21}N}{1 * 10^{20}kg} = \boxed{20 N/kg}
