Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity of any object with time.

Acceleration  =\frac{\bigtriangleup v}{t}

Since, speed is kept constant but direction is changed as it goes around the sharp curve and change in the direction results in acceleration as velocity is a vector quantity which depends upon magnitude as well as on direction.

Although, speed of the car is constant, for motion around the sharp curve, the direction is changing; hence the car will have acceleration.

Thus, the car has acceleration because it is changing direction as it goes around the curve.

List of charge of elements that do not form compound easily​
adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

The highlighted words in the explanation.

Explanation:

A clue comes by considering the noble gas elements, the rightmost column of the periodic table. These elements—helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, and radon—do not form compounds very easily, which suggests that they are especially stable as lone atoms. What else do the noble gas elements have in common?

Sloan [31]

Answer:

Mass =  42.8g

Explanation:

4 NH 3 ( g ) + 5 O 2 ( g ) ⟶ 4 NO ( g ) + 6 H 2 O ( g )

Observe that every 4 mole of ammonia requires 5 moles of oxygen to obtain 4 moles of Nitrogen oxide and 6 moles of water.

Step 1: Determine the balanced chemical equation for the chemical reaction.

The balanced chemical equation is already given.

Step 2: Convert all given information into moles (through the use of molar mass as a conversion factor).

Ammonia = 63.4g × 1mol / 17.031 g = 3.7226mol

Oxygen = 63.4g × 1mol / 32g = 1.9813mol

Step 3: Calculate the mole ratio from the given information. Compare the calculated ratio to the actual ratio.

If all of the 1.9831 moles of oxygen were to be used up, there would need to be 1.9831 × 4 / 5 or 1.5865 moles of Ammonia. We have 3.72226 moles of ammonia - Far excess. Because there is an excess of Ammonia, the Oxygen amount is used to calculate the amount of the products in the reaction.

Step 4: Use the amount of limiting reactant to calculate the amount of H2O produced.

5 moles of O2  = 6 moles of H2O

1.9831 moles = x

x = (1.9831 * 6 ) / 5

x = 2.37972 moles

Mass of H2O = Molar mass * Molar mass

Mass = 2.7972 * 18

Mass =  42.8g

Need help setting the problem up
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

4.0 moles

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Volume (V) = 12L

Pressure = 5.6 atm

Temperature (T) = 205K

Gas constant (R) = 0.08206 atm.L/Kmol

Number of mole (n) =?

Using the ideal gas equation: PV = nRT, the number of mole of the gas can be obtained as follow

PV = nRT

5.6 x 12 = n x 0.08206 x 205

Divide both side by 0.08206 x 205

n = (5.6 x 12)/(0.08206 x 205)

n = 4.0 moles

Therefore, the number of mole of the gas is 4.0 moles

When heated to 150 ºC, CuSO4.5 H2O loses its water of hydration as gaseous H2O. A 2.50 g sample of the compound is placed in a s
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

Water pressure 0.5 atm

Total Pressure= 2.27  atm

Explanation:

To answer this problem, one has to realize that there are two processes that increase the temperature of the sealed vessel.

First, the dry air in the sealed vessel will be heated which will cause its pressure to increase and it can be determined by the equation:

P₁ x T₂   = P₂ x T₁  ∴  P₂ =  P₁ x T₂ / T₁

For the second process, we have an amount of n moles of water which will be released when the copper sulfate is heated. In this case, to determine the value of the the water gas we will use the gas law:

   PV = nRT  ∴ P =  nRT/V

n will we calculated from the quantity of sample.

2.50 g  CuSo₄ 5H₂O x  1 mol/ 249.69 g = 0.01 mol CuSo₄ 5H₂O

the amount water of hydration is

= 0.01 mol CuSo₄ 5H₂O * 5 mol H₂O / 1 mol CuSo₄ 5H₂O

= 0.05 mo H₂O

pressure of dry air at the final temperature,

P₂ = 1 atm x 500 K/ 300 K = 1.67 atm

Pressure of water :

P (H₂O) 0.05 mol x 0.08206 Latm/kmol x 500 K/ 4 L = 0.5 atm

∴ Total Pressure =  1.67 atm

H2O Pressure = 0.5 atm

A chemical company makes two brands of antifreeze. the first brand is 70% pure antifreeze, and the second brand is 95% pure anti
madreJ [45]

Answer is: 56 gallons of 70% antifreeze and 84 gallons of 95% antifreeze.


ω₁ = 70% ÷ 100% = 0.7; 70% pure antifreeze.

ω₂ = 95% ÷ 100% = 0.95.

ω₃<span> = 85% ÷ 100% = 0.85.
V</span>₁ = ?; volume of 70% antifreeze.

V₂ = ?; volume of 95% antifreeze.<span>
V</span>₃ = V₁ + V₂<span>.
V</span>₃ = 140 gal.

V₁ = 140 gal - V₂<span>.
ω</span>₁ · V₁ + ω₂ ·V₂ = ω₃ · V₃.

0.70 · (140 gal - V₂) + 0.95 · V₂ = 0.85 · 140 gal.

98 gal - 0.7V₂ + 0.95V₂ = 119 gal.

0.25V₂ = 21 gal.

V₂ = 21 gal ÷ 0.25.

V₂ = 84 gal.

V₁ = 140 gal - 84 gal.

V₁ = 56 gal.
