Answer:

The law of conservation of energy is a law of science that states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, but only changed from one form into another or transferred from one object to another. This law is taught in physical science and physics classes in middle schools and high schools, and is used in those classes as well as in chemistry classes. When playing pool, the cue ball is shot at a stationary 8 ball. The cue ball has energy. When the cue ball hits the 8 ball, the energy transfers from the cue ball to the 8 ball, sending the 8 ball into motion. The cue ball loses energy because the energy it had has been transferred to the 8 ball, so the cue ball slows down.

16.0 grams of molecular oxygen gas is equal to
IceJOKER [234]

One thing to notice in the question is, we are asked about molecular oxygen that has formula O2 not atomic oxygen O.

As we are asked about molecular oxygen, we will answer the question in terms of number of molecules that are present in 16 grams of molecular oxygen.

To get the number of molecules present in 16 grams of O2, we will use the formula:

         No. of molecules = no. of moles x Avogadro's number (NA)-----  eq 1)

As we know:

                        The number of moles = mass/ molar mass of molecule

Here we have been given mass already, 16 grams and the molar mass of O2 is 32 grams.

Putting the values in above formula:

                                                    = 16/32  

                                                     = 0.5 moles

Putting the number of moles and Avogadro's number (6.02 * 10^23) in eq 1

                                No. of molecules = 0.5  x 6.02 * 10^23

                                   =3.01 x 10^23 molecules

or                 301,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 molecules

This means that 16 grams of 3.01 x 10^23 molecules of oxygen.

Hope it helps!

If an object is moving right at 10 N and a force is applied from the left at 8N, what is the net force on the object?
ryzh [129]

Answer:

If an object is moving at a constant speed in a constant rightward direction, then the acceleration is zero and the net force must be zero.

How many grams of ethanol c2h5oh can be made by the fermentation of 1150 g of glucose?
ozzi
Answer is: 588.15 <span>grams of ethanol.
</span>Chemical reaction: C₆H₁₂O₆ → 2C₂H₅OH + 2CO₂.
m(C₆H₁₂O₆) = 1150 g.
n(C₆H₁₂O₆) = m(C₆H₁₂O₆) ÷ M(C₆H₁₂O₆).
n(C₆H₁₂O₆) = 1150 g ÷ 180.16 g/mol.
n(C₆H₁₂O₆) = 6.38 mol.
From chemical reaction: n(C₆H₁₂O₆) : n(C₂H₅OH) = 1 : 2.
n(C₂H₅OH) = 12.76 mol.
m(C₂H₅OH) = 12.76 mol · 46.07 g/mol.
m(C₂H₅OH) = 588.15 g.
