What do you use to measure mass

1 answer:

7 0

To measure gravitational mass one of the methods includes using a spring balance. a balance is a type of scale that is different because it uses known mass to measure the unknown mass. so technically the method measures the weight.

also if you just want to know normal mass then just weigh the object on the scales because technically speaking when you want to see your weight you are actually seeing your mass. because mass never changes whilst weight is from the result of gravity and always changes, so yeah. I hope thos actually makes some sort of sense

What would you multiply "moles of oxygen" by to get the units "grams of oxygen"?

photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

Explanation:

to go from moles to grams you multiply by the Atomic Mass or Molar Mass (Atomic Mass for an element and Molar Mass for a compound).

The formula is:

Mass = moles * MM

Which of the following is true regarding nuclear fission and nuclear fusion?

Zarrin [17]

<h2>Nuclear Fission and Nuclear Fusion - Option C</h2>

Nuclear fission and nuclear fusion both of these processes can provide energy. Nuclear fission is the process in which heavy nucleus splits into smaller parts. When they split into smaller particles then it releases energy.

On the other hand, nuclear fusion is the process in which small particles fuse together to form a heavy nucleus. With the formation of heavy nucleus, it also provides energy.

Therefore, both these processes release or provide energy.

Photosynthesis by land plants leads to the fixation each year of about 1 kg of carbon on the average for each square meter of an

Rama09 [41]

Answer:

a) mass of carbon directly above 1 ( each) square meter of the earth is 1.65kg

b) all CO₂ will definitely be used up from the atmosphere directly above a forest in 1.65 years

Explanation:

first we calculate the moles of carbon

moles = mass/molar mass

= 1kg/12gmol⁻¹

= 1000g/12gmol⁻¹

= 83.33 mol

now using the ideal gas equation

we find the volume of co₂required based on 83.33 moles

PVco₂ = nRT

Vco₂ = nRT/P

Vco₂ = (83.22mol × 0.0821L atm k⁻¹ mol⁻¹ 298 K) / 1 atm

Vco₂ = 2083.73 L

so since CO₂ in air is 0.0390% by volume in the atmosphere, we find the the total amount of air required to obtain 1kg carbon

therefore

Vair × 0.0390/100 = 2038.73L

Vair = (2038.73L × 100) / 0.0390

Vair = 5.23 × 10⁶L

therefore 5.23 × 10⁶ L of air will be required to obtain 1kg carbon

Here we calculate the mass of air over 1 square meter of surface.

Remember that atmospheric pressure is the consequence of the force exerted by all the air above the surface; 1 bar is equivalent to 1.020×10⁴kgm⁻²

NOW

mass of air = 1.020×10⁴kgm⁻² × 1m²

= 1.020×10⁴kg

= 1.020×10⁷g [1kg = 10³g]

we now find the moles of air associated with it

moles = mass/molar mass

= 1.020 × 10⁷g / ( 20%×Mo₂ + 80%×Mn₂)

= 1.020 × 10⁷g / ( 20%×32gmol⁻¹ + 80%×28gmol⁻¹)

= 1.020 × 10⁷g / 28.8 gmol⁻¹

= 354166.67mol

so based on the question, for each mole (air), there is 0.0390% of CO₂

now to calculate the moles of CO₂ we say;

MolesCo₂ = 0.0390/100 × 354166.67mol

= 138.125 moles

Now we calculate mass of CO₂ from the above findings

Moles = mass/molar mass

mass = moles × molar mass

= 138.125 moles × 12gmol⁻¹

= 1657.5g

we covert to KG

= 1657.5g / 1000

mass = 1.65kg

therfore mass of carbon directly above 1 ( each) square meter of the earth is 1.65kg

to find the number years required to use up all the CO₂, WE SAY

Number of years = total carbon per m² of the forest / carbon used up per m² from the forest per year

Number of years = 1.65kgm⁻² / 1kg²year⁻¹

Number of years = 1.65 years

Therefore all CO₂ will definitely be used up from the atmosphere directly above a forest in 1.65 years

What is the relationship between the Kuiper Belt and the status of Pluto today?

Xelga [282]

Pluto is a dwarf planet, but one of the largest known members, in the Kuiper belt.

The Kuiper Belt extends between 30 AU and 55 AU from the Sun

(1 AU = 1.5 × 10^8 km = distance from Earth to Sun).

Pluto's orbit is highly elliptical. It ranges from 30 AU to 50 AU. When Pluto is closest to the Sun, it is inside the orbit of Neptune (30 AU).

Astronomers class Pluto as a <em>resonant Kuiper belt object</em> (KBO). Because it gets so close to Neptune, its orbit is in <em>resonance</em> with that of Neptune. Pluto makes two orbits for every three of Neptune.

Which of the following best describes a metal? Brittle, shiny, and solid Brittle, dull, and low density Malleable, shiny, and ab

yanalaym [24]

Answer : The correct option is, Malleable, shiny, and able to conduct heat or electricity.

Explanation:

Metals : Metals are the elements which can easily loose electrons and forms cations.

Properties of metals :

They are lustrous (shine).
They are malleable and ductile (flexible).
They conduct heat and electricity.
The metallic oxides are basic in nature.
They form cations in an aqueous solution.

Non-metals : Non-metals are the elements which can easily gain electrons and form an anion.

Properties of non-metals :

They are non-lustrous.
They are brittle and hard in nature.
They do not conduct heat and electricity.
The non-metallic oxides are acidic in nature.
They form anions in an aqueous solution.

Hence, from the given options the correct option for metal is, Malleable, shiny, and able to conduct heat or electricity.
