How does the law of conservation of mass apply to this reaction: C2H4 + O2 → H2O + CO2?

The correct answer is D. The law of conservation of mass states that in a system matter can neither be created or destroyed, hence atoms of each element on reactant side should equal atoms of each element on product side. In the unbalanced equation:

C_2H_4 + O_2 ==> H_2O + CO_2, the are 2 carbon atoms on reactant side as opposed to 1 carbon atom on product side,  there are 4 hydrogen atoms on reactant side as opposed to 2 hydrogen atoms on product side, and there are 2 oxygen atoms on reactant side as opposed to 3 atoms of oxygen on product side. To balance the equation we add a coefficient of 3 on O_2 and on the product side we put a coefficient of 2 on both water H_2O and carbon dioxide CO_2.

C_2H_4 + 3O_2 ==> 2H_2O + 2CO_2.

The answer is a

the equation needs to be balanced. There are fewer oxygen atoms in the equation than hydrogen or a carbon

6. Mr. Leppold jumps out of a plane with a parachute...before the chute opens,
polet [3.4K]

1) He has both potential and kinetic energy

2) Before the parachute opens, the potential energy decreases and the kinetic energy increases

Explanation:

1)

The gravitational potential energy of a body is the energy possessed by the object due to its position in a gravitational field, and it is given by:

PE=mgh

where

m is the mass of the body

g is the acceleration of gravity

h is the height of the body above the ground

On the other hand, the kinetic energy of a body is the energy possessed by the body due to its motion; it is given by

KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where

v is the speed of the object

Here Mr. Leppold has both potential and kinetic energy before opening the parachute, because:

- It is moving at a certain speed, so v\neq 0, therefore he has kinetic energy

- He is at a certain height above the ground, h\neq 0, therefore he has potential energy

2)

The total mechanical energy of Mr.Leppold is the sum of the potential and the kinetic energy:

E=PE+KE

According to the law of conservation of energy, in absence of air resistance, this quantity remains constant.

During the fall, the height of Leppold decreases: this means that as h decreases, the potential energy decreases  too.

However, the total energy E must remain constant: therefore, this means that the kinetic energy KE must increase, and this occurs because the speed of Mr. Leppold increases as he falls.

What is the wavelength of a wave traveling at 300 m/s if the frequency is 10 Hz?
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

30 m

Explanation:

The wavelength of a wave is found by the velocity divided by the frequency. Therefore, the wavelength is (300 m/s)/(10 Hz) = 30 m

I hope this helps! :)

In your own words, answer the following 3 questions about an object experiencing red shift? 1. Describe the motion of an object
german

1.  When an object is moving away from us, the light from the object is known as redshift, and when an object is moving towards us, the light from the object is known as blueshift.

2.  A wavelength increases in size, and its frequency, and energy decrease.

3.  The frequency of a wave increases, and its wavelength decreases.

Redshift is an important term for astronomers. The term can be taken literally. The wavelengths of light are stretched and perceived as shifting toward the red portion of the spectrum. The same thing happens to sound waves when the source moves relative to the observer.

As the wave frequency decreases, the wavelength increases as long as the wave velocity remains constant. If the wave speed stays the same as the frequency decreases, it means that fewer wave peaks or troughs pass through a given point in a given time period. The number of complete wavelengths in a given unit of time is called frequency. Frequency and energy decrease with increasing wavelength.
