Oxygen is found as O2 because its outer energy level has 6 electrons. By covalent sharing, stability is achieved.Oxygen can be found on most of the earth and is needed by many living beings. Our atmosphere is composed of about 20% oxygen!

Identify each energy exchange as primarily heat or work and determine whether the sign of ΔE is positive or negative for the sys
Semmy [17]

Answer:

a. Work, ΔE is negative;

b. Work, ΔE is negative;

c. Work, ΔE is positive.

Explanation:

In the three cases, there is energy exchange in primarily work. The heat is the energy flow because of the difference in temperature. Of course, some heat may be lost in the cases by dissipation.

In the letter <em>a</em> the system is at an initial velocity different from 0, and then it stops. The energy that is represented here is the kinetic energy, which is the energy of the movement. Note that the system goes from a higher velocity to 0, so it is losing kinetic energy, or work, so ΔE = Efinal - Einitial < 0.

In letter <em>b</em>, the system is falling from a certain high to the floor, so its gravitational potential energy is change. That potential energy represents the energy that gravity does when an object shifts vertically. Because it goes from a high to 0, the energy is been lost, so ΔE = Efinal - Einitial < 0.

In letter <em>c</em>, the system is going higher and with higher velocity, so there is a greatness in the gravitational potential energy and the kinetic energy, both works, so ΔE = Efinal - Einitial > 0.

the energy that is present in the gasoline in your automobile's fuel tank is a. potential energy b. nuclear energy c. kinetic en
Softa [21]
A. potential energy.
It can't be any of the above questions. When the automobile burns gas it converts the potential energy into chemical energy which intern gets converted into mechanical energy and then into kinetic energy.

I would have thought it would be Chemical potential energy, which is referring to the energy between the bonds in the molecule.
