Answer:

Newton is the unit of force, abbreviated as "N"

Explanation:

Let us understand the given units:

a) m/s: it is meter per second. It is SI unit of speed or velocity.

b) m/s: it is meter per second square. It is SI unit of acceleration (velocity per second).

c) N : it is unit of force. It stands for Newton.It is equal to 1 kilogram meter per second squared.

d) N/s: it is newton per second. It is unit of momentum.

So,

Recall Newton's Second Law of Motion: force = mass x acceleration

Also recall:

acceleration = velocity/time
velocity = distance/time

Distance is expressed in meters.
Time is expressed in seconds.
Mass is expressed in kilograms.

v = m/s
a = m/s^2
F = m * a
F = kg * m/s^2

$F= \frac{kg*m}{s^2}$

The unit for force is the Newton (N).

Consider this reaction:

Answer : The oxidation state of Mg in Mg(s) is (0).

Explanation :

Oxidation number or oxidation state : It represent the number of electrons lost or gained by the atoms of an element in a compound.

Oxidation numbers are generally written with the sign (+) and (-) first and then the magnitude.

Rules for Oxidation Numbers are :

The oxidation number of a free element is always zero.

The oxidation number of a monatomic ion equals the charge of the ion.

The oxidation number of Hydrogen (H) is +1, but it is -1 in when combined with less electronegative elements.

The oxidation number of oxygen (O) in compounds is usually -2.

The oxidation number of a Group 17 element in a binary compound is -1.

The sum of the oxidation numbers of all of the atoms in a neutral compound is zero.

The sum of the oxidation numbers in a polyatomic ion is equal to the charge of the ion.

The given chemical reaction is:

$Mg(s)+2H_2O(l)\rightarrow Mg(OH)_2(s)+H_2(g)$

In the given reaction, the oxidation state of Mg in Mg(s) is (0) because it is a free element and the oxidation state of Mg in $Mg(OH)_2$ is (+2).

Hence, the oxidation state of Mg in Mg(s) is (0).

What is the value for ∆Soreaction for the following reaction, given the standard entropy values?

Soloha48 [4]

To get the ∆S of the reaction, we simply have to add the ∆S of the reactants and the ∆S of the products. Then, we get the difference between the ∆S of the products and the ∆S of the products. If the <span>∆S is negative, then the reaction spontaneous. If the otherwise, the reaction is not spontaneous.</span>

λmax for the π → π* transition in ethylene is 170 nm. Is the HOMO-LUMO energy difference in ethylene greater than or less than t

-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

the HOMO-LUMO energy difference in ethylene is greater than that of cis,trans−1,3−cyclooctadiene

Explanation:

The λmax is the wavelength of maximum absorption. We could use it to calculate the HOMO-LUMO energy difference as follows:

For ethylene

E= hc/λ= 6.63×10^-34×3×10^8/170×10^-9= 1.17×10^-18J

For cis,trans−1,3−cyclooctadiene

E= hc/λ=6.63×10^-34×3×10^8/230×10^-9=8.6×10^-19J

Therefore, the HOMO-LUMO energy difference in ethylene is greater than that of cis,trans−1,3−cyclooctadiene
