The Olympic sport of curling is one that is practically designed to show Physics in motion. Curling is a sport in which two teams alternate sliding smoothed stone pucks down an ice rink court with the intent to seat their stone closest to the center of the target (called the house). Each team has eight stones, meaning that the team that goes second has the (could be) massive advantage of sending the last stone.  
The mass of the stone is important in that the more massive a stone (m) and the speed at which it travels (v) dictates it's momentum (momentum=mxv). As the curling stone slides down the ice (which is relatively frictionless unless acted upon by other players or objects) and having inertia, continues in it's straight course (again, unless acted upon by outside forces). If the stone hits another stone, it transfers some of its momentum in an elastic collision to that stone and the original stone is deflected in a calculable manner.   
Collisions are used in the game to either clear opponent's stones from the house or out of their defensive positions, or to make adjustments to one's stones present in the house, all based on the momentum of the moving stone, and its transference.

What is the total number of pairs of electrons shared between the carbon atom and the oxygen atom in a molecule of methanal?
valentinak56 [21]
Answer is: between the carbon atom and the oxygen atom in a molecule of methanal there are two (2) <span>pairs of electrons.

Methanal or formaldehyde (H</span>₂C=O)<span> </span><span>is the simplest of the </span><span>aldehydes.
In methanal, bond between carbon and oxygen is double covalent bond (one sigma and one pi bond), which means there are four shared electrons or two pair of electrons.</span>

CHEGG Consider the following reaction: LaTeX: Fe\left(CN\right)_6^{3-}+e^-\longrightarrow Fe\left(CN\right)_6^{4-}F e ( C N ) 6
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

E°= E°cathode- E° anode= 0.271-0.330= -0.59V

Explanation:

NB: the stoichiometry does not affect E°values,

And the more positive the E° values , the greater it's tendency to become spontaneous and hence irreversible, and the more negative the E° values the more likely to become less spontaneous and reversible, hence the above reaction is reversible
