How would the idea of limiting reactants be used when discussing automobiles?

1 answer:

7 0

Limiting reactants is the reactant that will be consumed first in a chemical reaction. in automobile, the primary reaction would be combustion reaction. the reactants would be oxygen and a fuel, since oxygen is readily available in the air, oxygen is not the limiting reactant. that is why fuel is always what we are monitoring in our automobiles, because it will dictates if the reaction can still occur or not.

How do fossils provide evidence that evolution has taken place

zzz [600]

Fossils provide solid evidence that organisms from the past are not the same as those found today; they show a progression of evolution. Scientists calculate the age of fossils and categorize them to determine when the organisms lived relative to each other. Hope this helps

A baseball player hits a homerun, and the ball lands in the left field seats, which is 103m away from the point at which the bal

Sati [7]

(a) The ball has a final velocity vector

$\mathbf v_f=v_{x,f}\,\mathbf i+v_{y,f}\,\mathbf j$

with horizontal and vertical components, respectively,

$v_{x,f}=\left(20.5\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\cos(-38^\circ)\approx16.2\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}$

$v_{y,f}=\left(20.5\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\sin(-38^\circ)\approx-12.6\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}$

The horizontal component of the ball's velocity is constant throughout its trajectory, so $v_{x,i}=v_{x,f}$ , and the horizontal distance x that it covers after time t is

$x=v_{x,i}t=v_{x,f}t$

It lands 103 m away from where it's hit, so we can determine the time it it spends in the air:

$103\,\mathrm m=\left(16.2\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)t\implies t\approx6.38\,\mathrm s$

The vertical component of the ball's velocity at time t is

$v_{y,f}=v_{y,i}-gt$

where g = 9.80 m/s² is the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity. Solve for the vertical component of the initial velocity:

$-12.6\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}=v_{y,i}-\left(9.80\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(6.38\,\mathrm s)\implies v_{y,i}\approx49.9\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}$

So, the initial velocity vector is

$\mathbf v_i=v_{x,i}\,\mathbf i+v_{y,i}\,\mathbf j=\left(16.2\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\,\mathbf i+\left(49.9\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\,\mathbf j$

which carries an initial speed of

$\|\mathbf v_i\|=\sqrt{{v_{x,i}}^2+{v_{y,i}}^2}\approx\boxed{52.4\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}}$

and direction θ such that

$\tan\theta=\dfrac{v_{y,i}}{v_{x,i}}\implies\theta\approx\boxed{72.0^\circ}$

(b) I assume you're supposed to find the height of the ball when it lands in the seats. The ball's height y at time t is

$y=v_{y,i}t-\dfrac12gt^2$

so that when it lands in the seats at t ≈ 6.38 s, it has a height of

$y=\left(49.9\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)(6.38\,\mathrm s)-\dfrac12\left(9.80\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(6.38\,\mathrm s)^2\approx\boxed{119\,\mathrm m}$

A 10.0 kg ball weighs 98.0 N in air and weighs 65.0 N when submerged in water. The volume of the ball is:_________.A) 0.00245 m3

Kamila [148]

Answer: B) 0.00337 m3.

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of the ball = 10kg

Weight of the ball in air = 98N

Weight of the ball in water = 65N

Solution:

To get the Volume of the ball when submerged in water, we divide the weight of the ball in water with the difference in apparent weight by 9.8m/s^2.

= 98 - 65 / 9.8

= 33 / 9.8

= 3.37kg

The volume of the ball is 3.37kg

The density of water is 1kg per Liter.

So 3.37 kg of water would have a volume of 3.37 Liters.

Therefore the ball would have a volume of 3.37 Liters (or 0.00337 cubic meters).

Goryan [66]

Covalent bonding is a type of chemical bonding wherein there is a sharing of electrons to achieve chemical stability or the octet rule. For instance, the chlorine atom with one unpaired electron shares an electron to sodium to become stable. In the given examples, the situation that portrays covalent bonding is when Chlorine accepts 1 electron from calcium to form a stable bond.
