For 100m Race ,
displacement = distance covered .
divide the above equation by time t (assuming it takes t time to complete 100m race),
we get,
velocity = speed.
and for 400m race 1 lap is completed this means that racer's initial and final position coincide (or same) hence,
displacement = 0,
distance ≠0=400m.
=> displacement ≠distance.
=> velocity ≠ speed.

Which compound contains both ionic and covalent
netineya [11]
The answer is (1) CaCO3. The bond between C and O is covalent bond. And the bond between Ca2+ and CO3 2- ion is the ionic bond. So the compound CaCO3 satisfy this condition.

How many lead (Pb) atoms will be generated when 5.38 moles of ammonia react according to the following equation: 3PbO+2NH3→3Pb+N
jasenka [17]

Answer:

4.86×10^23 molecule of Pb

Explanation:

Based on that equation, for every 2 moles of ammonia, you get 3 moles of lead.

So:

2 mol NH3/ 3 mol Pb

Using this ratio we can find the amounts of either molecule. Given 5.38 mol NH3:

(5.38 NH3)(3 Pb/ 2 NH3) = (5.38)(3/2) mol Pb = 8.07 mol Pb

Then, we just need to use Avagadro's number to get the number of molecules.

(8.07)(6.02×10^23) = 4.86×10^23 molecule of Pb
