8 0

Answer:

The energy of position or composition

Explanation:

Potential energy is the energy possessed by an object or a body due to its position in relation with other objects or bodies. It is a stored energy.

P. E =mgh (gravitational force)

It has an S.I unit in joules.

Types of potential energy.

Electrical potential energy

Gravitational potential energy

Elastic potential energy.

I would say it "The energy of motion" because potential energy is made by movement of any mass moving

Ethanol (c2h5oh) melts at -114°c. the enthalpy of fusion is 5.02 kj/mol. the specific heats of solid and liquid ethanol are 0.9
maria [59]
You'll want to add three amounts of heat. 

(1) Specific heat of lowering the temperature from -135°C to the melting point -114°C
(2) Latent heat of fusion/melting
(3) Specific heat of elevating the temperature from -114°C to -50°C

(1) E = mCΔT = (25 g)(0.97 J/g·°C)(1 kJ/1000 J)(-114 - -135) = 0.509 kJ
(2) E = mΔH = (25 g)(5.02 kJ/mol)(1 mol/46.07 g ethanol) = 2.724 kJ
(3) E = mCΔT = (25 g)(2.3 J/g·°C)(1 kJ/1000 J)(-50 - -114) = 3.68 kJ

<em>Summing up all energies, the answer is 6.913 kJ.</em>

A 50.5 L flask contains 3.25 mol of an unknown gas at 288.6 K, what is the pressure of<br> this gas?
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

1.52atm is the pressure of the gas

Explanation:

To solve this question we must use the general gas law:

PV = nRT

<em>Where P is pressure in atm = Our incognite</em>

<em>V is volume = 50.5L</em>

<em>n are moles of gas = 3.25moles</em>

<em>R is gas constat = 0.082atmL/molK</em>

<em>And T is absolute temperature = 288.6K</em>

To solve pressure:

P = nRT / V

P = 3.25mol*0.082atmL/molK*288.6K / 50.5L

P = 1.52atm is the pressure of the gas

To minimize the sharp ph shift that occurs when a strong acid is added to a solution
adell [148]
To minimize the sharp pH shift that occurs when a strong acid is added to a solution, IT IS PRACTICAL TO ADD A WEAK BASE.
When a strong acid is added to a solution, it usually brings about a sharp change in the pH of the concerned solution. To avoid this, one can add a  weak base to the solution first. The weak base will serves as a buffer for the strong acid and prevents the solution from experiencing sharp pH variations.
