Answer:

Therefore the loss (transfer) of this potential energy is equal to the increase in kinetic energy

Explanation:

First remember that energy is not destroyed, it only transpires

There are different types of energy, an example of different types of energy is the heat energy (the one that is transferred from an object that is hotter to another, or also by friction), the gravitational potential energy (increases when the height of an object increases with respect to the zero point) another example would be the kinetic energy (increases with increasing the speed of an object)

When object "loses" energy is really transforming into another type of energy

While an object falls and loses its potential energy (it loses height) it increases its speed (it falls faster and faster), as its speed increases the kinetic energy increases

Therefore the loss (transfer) of this potential energy is equal to the increase in kinetic energy

andrey2020 [161]

Answer: An inorganic acid.

Explanation: An inorganic acid (also called a mineral acid) is an acid derived from one or more inorganic compounds. All inorganic acids form hydrogen ions and the conjugate base ions when dissolved in water. Commonly used inorganic acids are sulfuric acid (H2SO4), hydrochloric acid (HCl), and nitric acid (HNO3). Hope this helps :)

Calculate the amount of heat that must be absorbed by 10.0 g of ice at –20°C to convert it to liquid water at 60.0°C. Given: spe
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

The amount of heat to absorb is 6,261 J

Explanation:

Calorimetry is in charge of measuring the amount of heat generated or lost in certain physical or chemical processes.

The total energy required is the sum of the energy to heat the ice from -20 ° C to ice of 0 ° C, melting the ice of 0 ° C in 0 ° C water and finally heating the water to 60 ° C.

So:

  • Heat required to raise the temperature of ice from -20 °C to 0 °C

Being the sensible heat of a body the amount of heat received or transferred by a body when it undergoes a temperature variation (Δt) without there being a change of physical state (solid, liquid or gaseous), the expression is used:

Q = c * m * ΔT

Where Q is the heat exchanged by a body of mass m, made up of a specific heat substance c and where ΔT is the temperature variation (ΔT=Tfinal - Tinitial).

In this case, m= 10 g, specific heat of the ice= 2.1 \frac{J}{g*C} and ΔT=0 C - (-20 C)= 20 C

Replacing: Q= 10 g*2.1 \frac{J}{g*C} *20 C and solving: Q=420 J

  • Heat required to convert 0 °C ice to 0 °C water

The heat Q necessary to melt a substance depends on its mass m and on the called latent heat of fusion of each substance:

Q= m* ΔHfusion

In this case, being 1 mol of water= 18 grams: Q= 10 g*6.0 \frac{kJ}{mol} *\frac{1 mol of water}{18 g}= 3.333 kJ= 3,333 J (being kJ=1,000 J)

  • Heat required to raise the temperature of water from 0 °C to 60 °C

In this case the expression used in the first step is used, but being: m= 10 g, specific heat of the water= 4.18 \frac{J}{g*C} and ΔT=60 C - (0 C)= 60 C

Replacing: Q= 10 g*4.18 \frac{J}{g*C} *60 C and solving: Q=2,508 J

Finally, Qtotal= 420 J + 3,333 J + 2,508 J

Qtotal= 6,261 J

<u><em> The amount of heat to absorb is 6,261 J</em></u>

How many moles of oxygen are needed to react with 87 grams of aluminum
labwork [276]

Answer:

2.4 moles of oxygen are needed to react with 87 g of aluminium.

Explanation:

Chemical equation:

4Al(s)  + 3O₂(l)   → 2AlO₃(s)

Given data:

Mass of aluminium = 87 g

Moles of oxygen needed = ?

Solution:

Moles of aluminium:

Number of moles of aluminium= Mass/ molar mass

Number of moles of aluminium= 87 g/ 27 g/mol

Number of moles of aluminium= 3.2 mol

Now we will compare the moles of aluminium with oxygen.

                              Al         :         O₂

                               4          :         3

                               3.2       :         3/4×3.2 = 2.4 mol

2.4 moles of oxygen are needed to react with 87 g of aluminium.

Aloiza [94]
The given above pretty much states already that with the presence of the calcium carbonate which acts as the buffer will allow the solution to withstand changes in acidity. The greater the amount, the higher chances that it will be able to withstand the said changes. Therefore, if Lake X had greater ppm of CaCO3 then, it will be able to withstand greater amount of acid rain.
