Answer: D. The elastic potential energy stored in the stretched rubber band changes to kinetic energy.

Explanation: According to the law of conservation of energy, energy can neither be created nor be destroyed. It can only be transformed from one form to another.

Elastic potential energy is the energy stored as a result of applying a force to deform an elastic object. The energy is stored until the force is removed. When the force is removed,  the object gets back to its original shape.

Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its motion.

Ammonia, NH3, is a typical ingredient in household cleaners. It is produced through a combination reaction involving N2(g) and H
GalinKa [24]
The balanced chemical reaction is:

N2 + 3H2 = 2NH3

We are given the amount of hydrogen gas to be used in the reaction. This will be the starting point of the calculations.

24.0 mol H2 (2 mol NH3 / 3 mol H2 ) = 16 mol NH3

Therefore, ammonia produced from the reaction given is 16 moles.

Nistu is cooking rice in a pot. When she leaves the pot on the stove for a while, the temperature of the rice increases. What ha
Mila [183]

Answer:

Their average kinetic energy increases

Explanation:

The average kinetic energy of the rice molecules increases as the pot is left on the cooking stove.

Heat is transferred to the pot by conduction from the heat source. The heat is then transferred to the rice in the cooking pot by convection.

  • As the water in the pot heats up.
  • The rice gains thermal energy.
  • This causes the molecules of the rice particles to start vibrating.
  • As the molecules vibrate about their fixed position, their thermal energy continues to increase.
  • Therefore, the amount of heat absorbed by the rice increases with time and this actually cooks the food.

Is ninhydren test positive for protein?
lyudmila [28]
The Ninhydrin test is not effective to detect high molecular weight proteins as the steric hindrance limits the ninhydrin from reaching the α-amino groups.
