When the bat touches the ball, the kinetic energy from the bat gets transfered and stored in the ball as elastic potential energy. A part of the ball is compressed when the energy is being stored and as per the hooke’s law it uses its potential energy to decompress  The decompression results in the ball pushing the surface of bat and the ball bounces away with the potential energy transfering back into kinetic energy.

The right option is; b. mechanical

Mechanical energy is the best description of the energy of the ball as it flies over the pitcher’s head.

Mechanical energy is the energy that an object acquires due to its position or due to its motion. From the question, the baseball player has chemical potential energy (stored as food) which is transformed into work. As the baseball player hits the ball, there is energy exchange in which the ball acquires energy to perform its work. The energy obtained by the ball upon which work is done is called mechanical energy.

What is the molarity of aqueous lithium bromide if 25.0 mL of LiBr reacts with 10.0 mL of 0.250 M Pb(NO 3) 2
bixtya [17]

The molarity of aqueous lithium bromide, LiBr solution is 0.2 M

We'll begin by calculating the number of mole of Pb(NO₃)₂ in the solution.

  • Volume = 10 mL = 10 / 1000 = 0.01 L
  • Molarity of Pb(NO₃)₂ = 0.250 M
  • Mole of Pb(NO₃)₂ =?

Mole = Molarity x Volume

Mole of Pb(NO₃)₂ = 0.25 × 0.01

Mole of Pb(NO₃)₂ = 0.0025 mole

Next, we shall determine the mole of LiBr required to react with 0.0025 mole of Pb(NO₃)₂

Pb(NO₃)₂ + 2LiBr —> PbBr₂ + 2LiNO₃

From the balanced equation above,

1 mole of Pb(NO₃)₂ reacted with 2 mole of LiBr.

Therefore,

0.0025 mole of Pb(NO₃)₂ will react with = 2 × 0.0025 = 0.005 mole of LiBr

Finally, we shall determine the molarity of the LiBr solution

  • Mole = 0.005 mole
  • Volume = 25 mL = 25 / 1000 = 0.025 L
  • Molarity of LiBr =?

Molarity = mole / Volume

Molarity of LiBr = 0.005 / 0.025

Molarity of LiBr = 0.2 M

Elements in group 16 want to bond with elements in group ___.
Trava [24]

Answer:

Two

Explanation:

Elements in group 16 wants to bond with elements in group IIA, the group of alkaline earth metals.

  • The bonding will make it easier for them complete their octet.
  • Elements in group 16 has 6 valence electrons.
  • To have a complete octet, they require 2 more electrons.
  • Group II elements are willing donors as they are metals.
  • For Group II elements to fill their octets, they must lose two electrons.
  • So the willingness of group II elements to lose two electrons and the readiness for group 16 elements to gain the electrons makes the desire one another.
