Definition of energy: Energy is the ability of a body to do work.

EXPLANATION:

Work and energy are inter convertible in nature. When work is done on the body or by the body, some amount of energy will be utilized in that process. On the other hand, we may say that work is done in the expense of energy.

Hence, energy of a substance can be defined as the capacity of that substance to do work.

For instance, we may take an example of rubbing of hands. When we rub our two hands together, we do some amount of work. That work is equivalent to the heat produced in our hands.

When a body moves with certain velocity , it gains some kinetic energy. The work done by that body is nothing else than the change in kinetic energy of the body.

Explain how you can cause light separated by a prism to combine

r-ruslan [8.4K]

When you shine a lite through a prism is reflects out light through all of the edges and causes light separation. Or just simply shine a laser through the edge of a sideways piece of glass.

I hope that this was helpful for you.

A solution is prepared by dissolving 17.75 g sulfuric acid, h2so4, in enough water to make 100.0 ml of solution. if the density

Yuliya22 [10]

The solution of Sulfuric Acid (H2SO4) has the following mole fractions:

mole fraction (H2SO4)= 0.034
mole fraction (H2O)= 0.966

To solve this problem the formula and the procedure that we have to use is:

n = m / MW
= ∑ AWT
mole fraction = moles of A component / total moles of solution
ρ = m /v

Where:

m = mass
n = moles
MW = molecular weight
AWT = atomic weight
ρ = density
v = volume

Information about the problem:

m solute (H2SO4) = 17.75 g
v(solution) = 100 ml
ρ (solution)= 1.094 g/ml
AWT (H)= 1 g/mol
AWT (S) = 32 g/mol
AWT (O)= 16 g/mol
mole fraction(H2SO4) = ?
mole fraction(H2O) = ?

We calculate the moles of the H2SO4 and of the H2O from the Pm:

MW = ∑ AWT

MW (H2SO4)= AWT (H) * 2 + AWT (S) + AWT (O) * 4

MW (H2SO4)= (1 g/mol * 2) + (32,064 g/mol) + (16 g/mol * 4)

MW (H2SO4)= 2 g/mol + 32 g/mol + 64 g/mol

MW (H2SO4)= 98 g/mol

MW (H2O)= AWT (H) * 2 + AWT (O)

MW (H2O)= (1 g/mol * 2) + (16 g/mol)

MW (H2O)= 2 g/mol + 16 g/mol

MW (H2O)= 18 g/mol

Having the Pm we calculate the moles of H2SO4:

n = m / MW

n(H2SO4) = m(H2SO4) / MW (H2SO4)

n(H2SO4) = 17.75 g / 98 g/mol

n(H2SO4) = 0.1811 mol

With the density and the volume of the solution we get the mass:

ρ(solution)= m(solution) /v(solution)

m(solution) = v(solution) * ρ(solution)

m(solution) = 100 ml * 1.094 g/ml

m(solution) = 109.4 g

Having the mass of the solution we calculate the mass of the water in the solution:

m(H2O) = m(solution) - m solute (H2SO4)

m(H2O) = 109.4 g - 17.75 g

m(H2O) = 91.65 g

We calculate the moles of H2O:

n = m / MW

n(H2O) = m(H2O) / MW (H2O)

n(H2O) = 91.65 g / 18 g/mol

n(H2O) = 5.092 mol

We calculate the total moles of solution:

total moles of solution = n(H2SO4) + n(H2O)

total moles of solution = 0.1811 mol + 5.092 mol

total moles of solution = 5.2731 mol

With the moles of solution we can calculate the mole fraction of each component:

mole fraction (H2SO4)= moles of (H2SO4) / total moles of solution

mole fraction (H2SO4)= 0.1811 mol / 5.2731 mol

mole fraction (H2SO4)= 0.034

mole fraction (H2O)= moles of (H2O) / total moles of solution

mole fraction (H2O)= 5.092 mol / 5.2731 mol

mole fraction (H2O)= 0.966

A 1 pound bucket rests on a table. What is the support force exerted on the bucket by the table? What is the support force when

katrin2010 [14]

This question involves the concepts of equilibrium and Newton's third law of motion.

The support force will be "1 pound" for the empty bucket and the support force will be "6 pounds" after pouring water into it.

According to the condition of equilibrium, the sum of forces acting on a stationary object must be zero. Hence, the support force of the table will be equal to the total mass of the bucket.
According to Newton's Third Law of Motion every action force has an equal but opposite reaction force. Hence, the support force will be a reaction force to the weight of the bucket.

Therefore, the support force in each case will be equal to the total mass of the bucket:

Case 1 (empty bucket):

<u>support force = 1 pound</u>

<u></u>

Case 1 (water poured):

support force = 1 pound + 5 pound

<u>support force = 6 pound</u>

<u></u>
