Answer:

The sum of positive and negative charges in a unit of Al2O3 equals zero.

Aluminium has a charge of +3 while Oxygen has a charge of -2 on each ion.

Al203 has 2 Al atoms and 3 O atoms.

Charge on Al2O3 = 2(charge on Al ion) + 3(charge on O ion)

= 2(3) + 3(-2)

= 6 - 6

= 0

Explanation:

Aluminium has 3 electrons in the outermost shell and has the tendency to lose those 3 electrons to form a positive ion and have a complete outermost shell.

Whereas, Oxygen has 6 electrons in the outermost and has the tendency to accept two more electrons to form a negative ion and have a complete outermost shell.

Which of the following signs on q and w represent a system that is doing work on the surroundings, as well as losing heat to the
Karolina [17]

Answer:c

Explanation:

In Physics we follow the sign convention i.e. work done by the system is considered as positive i.e. work is being done by system on the surrounding and vice-versa.

For heat :Heat added to the system is considered as Positive while heat loss to surrounding is considered as negative.

thus doing work on the surrounding(work done by system) w=+

Losing heat to the surrounding q=-

a wave is represented by the equation y=0.5 sin0.6×(x-60t) where the distance x is measured in cm and time t is seconds. what is
Grace [21]

Answer:

lamda=10.5m

Explanation:

using the equation of progressive wave.

y=Asin(wt-kx)

comparing the two equations together, we have

kx=0.6x , k=0.6

k=2π/λ

0.6=2*3.142/λ

cross multiply

0.6λ=6.284

divide both sides by 0.6

λ=6.284/0.6

λ=10.47m

approximate

λ=10.5m
