If a block has the mass of 15.00 grams and measurements of 5.00cm by 3.00cm by 2.00cm what is the volume of the block?
Natalija [7]

Answer:

Volume = 30cm³

Explanation:

A block is a geometrical figure and its volume, -look at the figure-, follows the equation:

Volume = Width*Length*Height

As the measurements of the block are 5.00cm, 3.00cm and 2.00cm, the volume is:

Volume = 5.00cm*2.00cm*3.00cm

<h3>Volume = 30cm³</h3>

Which of the two forces is greater the force on the firefly or the force on the bus explain your answer please I really need hel
maksim [4K]

Answer: The force on the firefly

The unfortunate firefly hitting the bus does not change the velocity of the bus very much. Technically there is a change, but it's so very small and miniscule that it barely registers. To any casual observer not paying very close attention, they don't notice anything at all. So effectively the force on the firefly is a lot greater since the firefly got the worst end of the deal.

So in short, we look at the velocity of each object and see which velocity changed the most. In this case, the firefly's velocity changed from whatever speed it was flying to 0 when it stops flying all together. That's why the force is greater on the bug.

How many grams of water can be produced when 11.7 moles of ethane (C2H6) react with excess oxygen gas?
Elina [12.6K]

Answer: 631.8 g

Explanation:

2C_2H_6+7O_2\rightarrow 4CO_2+6H_2O

It can be seen from the balanced chemical equation, 2 moles of ethane reacts with 7 moles of Oxygen gas to produce 4 moles of carbon dioxide and 6 moles of water.

Ethane is the limiting reagent as it limits the formation of product.

Thus, if  2 moles of ethane produce 6 moles of water.

11.7 moles moles of ethane produce=\frac{6}{2}\times 11.7=35.1 molesof water.

Mass of water= no of moles\times Molar mass

Mass of water= 35.1\times 18g/mol= 631.8 g

katrin [286]
Answer:
            <span>A reaction progress curve has three peaks and two valleys between the peaks. This curve describes a reaction mechanism that involves <u>three elementary reactions</u>.

Explanation:
                   I have drawn the progress curve with three peaks and two valleys. In fact the peaks shows higher energy and valleys show lower energies. So, Let suppose we react A and B. This reaction between A and B results in the formation of C. In this reaction the energies of A and B are less, and during the progress of reaction they cross a transition state of higher energy and forms product C with lower energy which is present at lower valley. This was first reaction. Other two reactions will be followed by conversion of C to D and conversion of D into E.</span>
