Momentum is conserved when you pull one ball bearing back in the air before letting it go to hit the others. Think about it. You lift the bearing in the air with all it's weight, thus leading it to build up momentum and conserve it. Then once you release it, it transfers the energy through the other bearings and out onto the other side repeating it's process.<span />

All the momentum starts in one ball, and after the collision, it is all in the other ball.

Answer:

1.) 13 g C₄H₁₀

2.) 41 g CO₂

Explanation:

To find the mass of propane (C₄H₁₀) and carbon dioxide (CO₂), you need to (1) convert mass O₂ to moles O₂ (via molar mass), then (2) convert moles O₂ to moles C₄H₁₀/CO₂ (via mole-to-mole ratio from equation coefficients), and then (3) convert moles C₄H₁₀/CO₂ to mass C₄H₁₀/CO₂ (via molar mass). It is important to arrange the ratios in a way that allows for the cancellation of units. The final answers should have 2 sig figs to match the sig figs of the given value.

Molar Mass (C₄H₁₀): 4(12.011 g/mol) + 10(1.008 g/mol)

Molar Mass (C₄H₁₀): 58.124 g/mol

Molar Mass (CO₂): 12.011 g/mol + 2(15.998 g/mol)

Molar Mass (CO₂): 44.007 g/mol

Molar Mass (O₂): 2(15.998 g/mol)

Molar Mass (O₂): 31.996 g/mol

2 C₄H₁₀ + 13 O₂ ----> 8 CO₂ + 10 H₂O

 48 g O₂             1 mole             2 moles C₄H₁₀            58.124 g
---------------  x  -----------------  x  -------------------------- x  ------------------  =  
                         31.996 g              13 moles O₂               1 mole

=  13 g C₄H₁₀

 48 g O₂             1 mole               8 moles CO₂            44.007 g
---------------  x  -----------------  x  -------------------------- x  ------------------  =  
                         31.996 g              13 moles O₂               1 mole

=  41 g CO₂

When does a lunar eclipse occur?​
cluponka [151]

Answer:

A partial lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth moves between the Sun and Moon but the three celestial bodies do not form a straight line in space. When that happens, a small part of the Moon's surface is covered by the darkest, central part of the Earth's shadow, called the umbra.
