Write one paragraph to explain what circuler motion is?

ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

When a body moves in a circle with constant speed , it is said to be in uniform circular motion .

Explanation:

When an object moves in a circular path , its direction changes at each point .
This change in direction result in change of velocity (velocity is vector quantity which changes if direction of the object change) .However speed do not change (it is scalar quantity , not affected by Direction)

The Change in velocity produce acceleration ( a = v - u)

Hence The object always produce acceleration in uniform circular motion .So, Some force (centripetal force) is needed to keep the object in circular motion.

What is the total volume of gaseous products formed when 116 liters of butane (C4H10) react completely according to the followin

Contact [7]

Answer: The total volume of the gaseous products is 1044.29 L

Explanation:

We are given:

Volume of butane = 116 L

At STP:

22.4 L of volume is occupied by 1 mole of a gas

So, 116 L of volume will be occupied by = $\frac{1}{22.4}\times 116=5.18mol$ of butane

The chemical equation for the combustion of butane follows:

$2C_4H_{10}(g)+13O_2(g)\rightarrow 8CO_2(g)+10H_2O(g)$

For carbon dioxide:

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of butane produces 8 moles of carbon dioxide

So, 5.18 moles of butane will produce = $\frac{8}{2}\times 5.18=20.72mol$ of carbon dioxide

Volume of carbon dioxide at STP = (20.72 × 22.4) = 464.13 L

For water vapor:

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of butane produces 10 moles of water vapor

So, 5.18 moles of butane will produce = $\frac{10}{2}\times 5.18=25.9mol$ of water vapor

Volume of water vapor at STP = (25.9 × 22.4) = 580.16 L

Total volume of the gaseous products = [464.13 + 580.16] = 1044.29 L

Hence, the total volume of the gaseous products is 1044.29 L

What is the partial pressure of carbon monoxide gas in a sealed vessel that has a total pressure of 2.68 atm and partial pressur

Alika [10]

Pt = p1 + p2 + p3, p1 = pp (CO) atm
2.68 atm = p1 + 1.56 atm + 0.65 atm
2.68 = p1 + 2.21
p1 = 2.68 - 2.21
p1 = 0.47 atm

Why is polarity an important factor when determining how molecules interact?

Travka [436]

Answer:

Water's polarity allows it to dissolve other polar substances very easily. When a polar substance is put in water, the positive ends of its molecules are attracted to the negative ends of the water molecules, and vice versa.
