What force opposes gravity and keeps objects from falling to the center of the earth?

La fuerza de la gravedad depende de la masa (el peso) de cada objeto. La fuerza con que se atraen dos objetos es proporcional a su masa y disminuye rápidamente en el momento en que los separamos. De hecho, nosotros también atraemos objetos con ‘nuestra’ fuerza gravitatoria, pero pesamos tan poco que no podemos percibirlo. En cambio, el Sol es tan grande que es capaz de mantenernos girando a su alrededor a pesar de estar muy lejos. La Luna también ejerce su propia fuerza gravitatoria, pero, como es más pequeña y ligera que la Tierra, si nos pesásemos sobre su superficie veríamos que pesamos unas seis veces menos que en la Tierra.

Podríamos preguntarnos por qué la Luna no cae sobre la Tierra al igual que una manzana cae del árbol. La razón es que nuestro satélite nunca está quieto. Se mueve constantemente a nuestro alrededor. Sin la fuerza de atracción terrestre, se alejaría flotando en el espacio. Gracias a esta combinación de velocidad y distancia de nuestro planeta, la Luna siempre está en equilibrio, ni cae ni se aleja. Si se moviera más rápido, se alejaría, si se moviera con más lentitud, ¡caería!

Hemos dicho que la fuerza de la gravedad también depende de la distancia. Si nos alejásemos lo suficiente de la Tierra, escaparíamos a su fuerza de atracción. Y eso es lo que tratamos de hacer con las naves espaciales. Necesitamos superar la llamada ‘velocidad de escape’, que es aproximadamente 11,2 km/s (a esa velocidad, podríamos viajar de Londres a Nueva York ¡en tan solo 10 minutos!). Cuando un cohete alcanza esa velocidad, ya es libre para viajar por el sistema solar.

Dentro de una nave en órbita, no sentimos la fuerza de la gravedad terrestre. Los objetos no caen, sino que flotan, así que si saltas, no regresas al suelo. Es lo que les ocurre a los astronautas cuando están a bordo de una estación espacial que orbita alrededor de la Tierra.

When 10.0 grams of sulfur reacts with fluorine gas at a pressure of 2.69 atmosphere in a 5.00 L container at 0.00 degrees Celsiu
Gwar [14]

Answer:

74.1%

Explanation:

Based on the reaction:

S₈ + 16F₂ → 8SF₄

<em>1 mole of sulfur reacts with 16 moles of F₂ to produce 8 moles of SF₄</em>

<em />

To solve this question we must find the moles of each reactant in order to find the moles of SF₄. Thus, we can find the theoretical mass produced. Percent yield is:

Percent yield = Actual yield (25.0g) / Theoretical yield * 100

<em>Moles S₈: 256.52g/mol</em>

10.0g * (1mol / 256.52g) = 0.0390 moles

<em>Moles F₂:</em>

<em>PV = nRT</em>

PV/RT = n

<em>Where P is pressure in atm, V is volume in liters, R is gas constant and T is absolute temperature (0°C = 273.15K)</em>

2.69atm*5.00L / 0.082atmL/molK*273.15K = n

0.600 moles = n

For a complete reaction of 0.600 moles F₂ are required:

0.600mol F₂ * (1mol S₈ / 8 mol F₂) = 0.075 moles S₈

As there are just 0.0390 moles, S₈ is limiting reactant.

The theoretical moles and mass of SF₄ -Molar mass: 108.07g/mol- is:

0.0390 moles S₈ * (8mol SF₄ / 1mol S₈) = 0.312 moles SF₄ * (108.07g) =

33.7g

Percent yield = 25.0g / 33.7g * 100

= 74.1%

Based on the position of the elements in the periodic table, what is the charge of the ions they are most likely to form?
Rainbow [258]

Explanation:

The charge on an ion denotes the amount of electrons lost or gained or even shared by an atom.

An atom will lose, gain or share an equal amount of electrons that will make it stable and achieve an octet and perfect configuration.

This is often synonymous with the component number of electrons in their outermost shell. The valence shell.

For metals on the periodic table, they are always willing to give up electrons due to their large electropositivity.

Metals will give up the number of electrons in their outermost shell to become stable.

Groups 1 and Group 2 will have charges +1 and +2 on them.

For non-metals , they will gain the exact number of electrons that will make them stable.  We must note that half -filled and fully filled orbitals are equally stable.

Elements in groups 6 and 7 are electronegative and will have a charge of -2 and -1 respectively.

For those in groups 3, 4 and 5 they either gain, lose or share commensurate amount of electrons that will make them stable.

Group 8 elements are stable and have no charges.

Generally on the periodic table, metals are to the left and are always positively charged. Non - metals are to the right and are negatively charged.

Calculations
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

Theoretical yield: 2.75g of paranitroaniline

Percentage yield: 54.5%

Explanation:

In strong-acid medium, acetanilide (Molar mass: 135.16g/mol) reacts producing para-nitroaniline (138.12g/mol) in a 1/1 reaction.

Theoretical yield of para-nitroaniline is the mass produced assuming a yield of 100%. That is:

2.7g acetanilide × (1mol / 135.16g) = 0.020 moles of acetanilide.

Assuming a yield of 100% are 0.020 moles of paranitroaniline. Theoretical yield is:

0.020 moles × (138.12g / mol) =

<h3>Theoretical yield: 2.75g of paranitroaniline</h3><h3 />

Percentage yield is:

(Actual yield / theoretical yield) × 100

Actual yield was 1.5g and percentage yield will be:

Percentage yield: (1.5g / 2.75g) × 100

<h3>Percentage yield: 54.5%</h3>
