The correct option is C.

An atom can be either in the ground state or in an excited state. An atom is said to be in the ground state, if the total energy of its electron can not be lowered by moving one or more electrons into different orbitals. At the ground state, the electrons in the atom have the lowest energy possible and they are stable. On the other hand, an atom is said to be in an excited state, if the energy of its electrons can be lowered by transferring one or more electrons into different orbitals. An atom in an excited state has more energy and is less stable.

30.0 ml of an hf solution were titrated with 22.15 ml of a 0.122 m koh solution to reach the equivalence point. what is the mola
a_sh-v [17]
Answer is: molarity of hydrofluoric solution is 0.09 M.

Chemical reaction: HF(aq) + KOH(aq) → KF(aq) + H₂O(l).
V(HF) = 30.0 mL.
c(KOH) = 0.122 M.
V(KOH) = 22.15 mL:
c(HF) = ?.
From chemical reaction: n(HF) : n(KOH) = 1 : 1.
n(HF) = n(KOH).
c(HF) · V(HF) = c(KOH) · V(KOH).
c(HF) = c(KOH) · V(KOH) ÷ V(HF).
c(HF) = 0.122 M · 22.15 mL ÷ 30 mL:
c(HF) = 0.09 M.

How are oxidation-reduction reactions related to how you use energy?
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

In oxidation reduction reactions, one species gets reduced by taking on electron(s) and another species gets oxidized by losing electrons. They also flow by a wire

Determine the kinetic energy of an 833.0 kg roller coaster car moving at a speed of 20.0 m/s
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

166,600J

Explanation:

Kinetic energy (K.E), which is the energy due to motion of a body, can be calculated by using the formula;

K.E = 1/2 × m × v²

Where;

K.E = kinetic energy (joules)

m = mass of body (kg)

v = speed or velocity (m/s)

According to this question, the mass of the roller coaster is 833.0 kg while its velocity/speed is 20.0m/s.

K.E = 1/2 × 833 × 20²

K.E = 1/2 × 833 × 400

K.E = 1/2 × 333200

K.E = 166,600

Therefore, the kinetic energy of the roller coaster car is 166,600J.
