Develop a demonstration to show how mass is not the same thing as weight

Chemistry

pychu [463]3 years ago

This is more of a physics explanation, but here we go.

Mass is a measure of how much "matter" is in an object. Weight is the force applied onto an object by gravity. Weight itself can be related to mass like this:

f_g = mg

where g is a gravitational constant. For our purposes, it's defined by whatever planet you are on. Following this, we can demonstrate that mass is NOT the same thing as weight if we take two objects of the same mass and put them on different planets.

Let E refer to Earth and F refer to Mars

g_E = 9.81 m/s^2\\g_F = 3.711 m/s^2

Following this, we can see clearly that weight is not the same as mass:

m*9.81 : m*3.711 \\\int\limits^a_b {x} \, dx 9.81 \neq 3.711\\f_g E \neq f_g F\\

If weight was the same thing as mass, the two values would be the same, as the mass of the two objects is the same. But since weight is defined in the context of gravity, they are not.

To indicate the pH of a substance, one can use a dye that is both an acid and that appears as different colors in its protonated
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

<em>The pH of the solution is 7.8</em>

Explanation:

The concentration of the solution is 0.001M and  the dye could be in its protonated and deprotonated forms. If the concentration of the protonated form [HA] is 0.0002 M the concentration of the deprotonated form will be the subtraction between the concentration of the bye and the concentration of the protonated form:

[A-] = 0.001M - 0.0002M = 0.0008M

Also, the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation is

pH = pKa + Log \frac{[A^{-}]}{[HA]}

this equation shows the dependency between the pH of the solution, the pKa and the concentration of the protonated and deprotonated forms. Thus, replacing in the equation

pH = 7.2 + Log \frac{0.0008M}{0.0002M} = 7.8

12. A beginner's bowling ball has a mass of 4.9 kg and a volume of 5.4 liters. Will it float in water,
Greeley [361]

Taking into account the definition of density and Archimedes' principle, the beginner bowling ball will float on the water.

But first it is neccesary to know that density is a quantity referred to the amount of mass in a certain volume of a substance or a solid object.

In other words, the density is the relationship between the weight (mass) of a substance and the volume that the same substance occupies.

The expression for the calculation of density is the quotient between the mass of a body and the volume it occupies:

density=\frac{mass}{volume}

In this case, a beginner's bowling ball has a mass of 4.9 kg and a volume of 5.4 liters. This is:

  • mass= 4.9 kg= 4900 g (being 1 kg= 1000 kg)
  • volume= 5.4 L= 5400 mL (being 1L=1000 mL)

Replacing in the definition of density:

density=\frac{4900 g}{5400 mL}

Solving:

<u><em>density=0.907 </em></u>\frac{g}{mL}<u><em /></u>

On the other hand, Archimedes' principle says that an object immersed in a liquid experiences an upward vertical force equal to the weight of the volume of the dislodged liquid.

The sinking or floating of an object is determined by its density with respect to that of the liquid in which it is submerged.

Considering water as the liquid where the object is submerged in this case, an object with a higher density than water will sink. In contrast, an object with a lower density than water will float.

In this case, considering that water has a density of 1 \frac{g}{mL}, the bowling ball for beginners has a lower density. This indicates that, having a lower density than water, the object will float.

In summary, the beginner bowling ball will float on the water.

When are the products of an equilibrium reaction favored? When the reaction is endothermic. When the equilibrium constant is lar
PtichkaEL [24]
Product are favored at ...


example 2A + 3B = 5C + D    if reaction is exothermic ....delta H = NEGATIVE)


A decrease  in temperature favors the forward reaction (more product formed)
as heat is considered as a product

For the exam I have given: A decrease in pressure (volume increases as pressure decreases) .... there are more number of moles on the product side (6 in all) .....so according to LCP decreasing pressure will revert back to increase pressure and to do that equilibrium position shifts to the right (product)

decreasing concentration of product will cause a disturbance in equilibrium position....and reaction will restore its equilibrium by shifting to the  right
