Answer: sodium phosphide

Explanation:

$Na_3P$ is an ionic compound because sodium is a metal which forms $Na^+$ by loss of electron.

Phosphorous is a non-metal and The bond formed between a metal and a non-metal is always ionic in nature.

The nomenclature of ionic compounds is given by:

1. Positive is written first.

2. The negative ion is written next and a suffix is added at the end of the negative ion. The suffix written is '-ide'.

Hence, the name of $Na_3P$ is sodium phosphide.

How much heat is needed to change the temperature of 3 grams of gold (c = 0.129 ) from 21°C to 363°C? The answer is expressed to

madam [21]

The correct answer to the question is : B) 132 Joules.

EXPLANATION :

As per the question, the mass of the gold m = 3 gram.

The initial temperature of the gold T = 21 degree celsius.

The final temperature of the gold T' = 363 degree celsius.

Hence, the change in temperature dT = T' - T

= 363 - 21 degree celsius

= 342 degree celsius.

The specific heat of the gold is given as c = $0.129\ J/g^0C$

We are asked to calculate the heat required ( dQ ) to raise the temperature of gold.

The heat required for this is calculated as -

dQ = mcDT

= 3 × 342 × 0.129 J

= 132.354 J

≈ 132 J

Hence, the correct answer is 132 J.

In a collision, a 15 kg object moving with a velocity of 3 m/s transfers some of its momentum to a 5 kg object. What would be th

Misha Larkins [42]

The key to solve this problem is the conservation of momentum. The momentum of an object is defined as the product between the mass and the velocity, and it's usually labelled with the letter $p$ :

$p=mv$

The total momentum is the sum of the momentums. The initial situation is the following:

$m_A=15,\quad v_A=3,\quad m_B=5,\quad v_B=0$

(it's not written explicitly, but I assume that the 5-kg object is still at the beginning).

So, at the beginning, the total momentum is

$p=m_Av_A+m_Bv_B=15\cdot 3+5\cdot 0=45$

At the end, we have

$m_A=15,\quad v_A=1,\quad m_B=5,\quad v_B=x$

(the mass obviously don't change, the new velocity of the 15-kg object is 1, and the velocity of the 5-kg object is unkown)

After the impact, the total momentum is

$p=m_Av_A+m_Bv_B=15\cdot 1+5\cdot x=15+5x$

Since the momentum is preserved, the initial and final momentum must be the same. Set an equation between the initial and final momentum and solve it for $x$ , and you'll have the final velocity of the 5-kg object.
