using the scientific definition of work, does moving an object a greater amount of distance always result in more work?

1 answer:

8 0

No. i can go from my house to New York and back in a day since my final destination is the same as my beginning no work is done. if i go 20 ft from the house and stay i would have done more work. displacement is the key

Which statement about a reaction is not correct?

Vikki [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

A reaction that is exothermic and causes a decrease in the entropy of the system cannot be a spontaneous reaction. This is not totally true because naturally For a spontaneous process, the entropy of the universe (system plus surroundings) must increase. This is the 2nd law of thermodynamics. The system entropy can decrease as long as the entropy of the surroundings increases enough to make the sum of the system and surroundings positive.

And we know that a spontaneous reaction is a reaction that occurs in a given set of conditions without intervention. Spontaneous reactions are accompanied by an increase in overall entropy or disorder. If the Gibbs Free Energy is negative, then the reaction is spontaneous, and if it is positive, then it is nonspontaneous.

Why are metals alloyed?

Lady_Fox [76]

Because alloys have qualities that are preferable to pure metals, almost all metals are utilised as alloys—that is, mixes of several elements. Alloying is done for a variety of purposes, the most common of which are to increase strength, corrosion resistance, or cost savings.

A compound which is mineral acid is generally classified as a????? urgent please

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 :)

A student has a mixture of salt (NaCl) and sugar (C12H22O11). To determine the percentage, the student measures out 5.84 grams o

julsineya [31]

Answer:

The volume of 1.0 AgNO₃ that would be required to precipitate 5.84 grams of NaCl is 99.93 ml

Explanation:

Here we have the reaction of AgNO₃ and NaCl as follows;

AgNO₃(aq) + NaCl(aq)→ AgCl(s) + NaNO₃(aq)

Therefore, one mole of silver nitrate, AgNO₃, reacts with one mole of sodium chloride, NaCl, to produce one mole of silver choride, AgCl, and one mole of sodium nitrate, NaNO₃,

Therefore, since 5.84 grams of NaCl which is 58.44 g/mol, contains

$Number \, of \, moles, n = \frac{Mass}{Molar \ mass} = \frac{5.84}{58.44} = 0.09993 \ moles \ of \ NaCl$

0.09993 moles of NaCl will react with 0.09993 moles of AgNO₃

Also, as 1.0 M solution of AgNO₃ contains 1 mole per 1 liter or 1000 mL, therefore, the volume of AgNO₃ that will contain 0.09993 moles is given as follows;

0.09993 × 1 Liter/mole= 0.09993 L = 99.93 mL

Therefore, the volume of 1.0 AgNO₃ that would be required to precipitate 5.84 grams of NaCl is 99.93 ml.

2. Problem: Is colored or black and white text more easily remembered? Hypothesis: If the text is colored, then the text is more

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

This question contains a lot of subsections. Please find the variables to each question below

Explanation:

Hypothesis is a testable explanation to a scientific question. It aims at proffering a testable solution to an observed problem. It usually goes in an IF, THEN format.

Dependent variable is the variable being measured in an experiment, while the independent variable is the variable that is manipulated or changed by the experimenter.

The control group is the group that does not receive the experimental treatment while constant is the variable that is kept unchanged for all groups in the experiment.

Based on this explanation, find the answers to the hypothesis, independent variable, dependent variable, constant, and control groups to each question.

2. Dependent variable: How easy it is to remember

Independent variable: Color of the text

Control: Group given Black and White text to read

Constants: Same text

3. Hypothesis: If the temperature is increased, THEN the speed of ants increases or move faster

Independent variable: TEMPERATURE

Dependent variable: SPEED OF ANTS

Control: Ants placed in room temperature

Constants: SAME KIND OF ANTS

4. Hypothesis: IF the pH of the soil is acidic or alkaline, THEN the growth of strawberries will be inhibited

Independent variable: pH of soil

Dependent variable: Growth of strawberries

Control: Strawberries grown in a Neutral pH soil

Constants: Same type of plants (strawberries)

5. Hypothesis: IF caffeine is taken, then the blood pressure will be increased or raised.

Independent variable: CAFFEINE

Dependent variable: BLOOD PRESSURE

Control: Group given no caffeine

Constants: Same amount of caffeine

6. Hypothesis: IF music is played, THEN the heart rate increases

Independent variable: MUSIC

Dependent variable: HEART RATE

Control: Groups placed where no music is played

Constants: Same type of music, same time music runs for etc.

7. Hypothesis: IF bleach is present/used, THEN bacteria will die

Independent variable: Bleach

Dependent variable: Death of bacteria

Control: Bacteria given no bleach

Constants: Same species of bacteria, Same type of bleach
