What is an example of kinetic energy? Question 7 options: A frisbee flying through the air A car in the garage A box sitting on

Amiraneli [1.4K]

Kinetic energy is energy that comes from motion. Anything that is currently in motion has kinetic energy.

Let’s look at each example to determine if they have kinetic energy.

First off, a car in the garage: let’s ask ourselves- Is the car in motion?
No, it is sitting in the garage. It is not moving; therefore it doesn’t have any kinetic energy.

Next, a box sitting on a shelf: let’s ask ourselves the same question- Is the box in motion?
No, it is sitting on the shelf. Again, it is not moving. It doesn’t have any kinetic energy.

Our third item is a ball lodged in a tree: again, we will ask ourselves the same question- Is the object moving?
No, it isn’t moving. Again, since it is not moving, it will not have kinetic energy.

Our last item is a frisbee flying through the air: asking ourselves the same question- Is it moving?
Yes, the object is moving. Yes, it has kinetic energy.

The frisbee flying through the air has kinetic energy.

What is an extinction event

aliya0001 [1]

An extinction event is a widespread and rapid decrease in the biodiversity on Earth. Such an event is identified by a sharp change in the diversity and abundance of multicellular organisms. It occurs when the rate of extinction increases with respect to the rate of speciation. -Wikipedia

An unknown compound contains only C , H , and O . Combustion of 4.20 g of this compound produced 10.3 g CO 2 and 4.20 g H 2 O .

vodomira [7]

Answer:

C4H8O

Explanation:

We can get the answer through calculations as follows.

From the mass of carbon iv oxide produced, we can get the number of moles of carbon produced. We first divide the mass by the molar mass of carbon iv oxide. The molar mass of carbon iv oxide is 44g/mol

The number of moles of carbon iv oxide is 10.3/44 = 0.2341

Since there is only one carbon atom in CO2, the number of moles of carbon is same as above

The mass of carbon in the compound is simply the number of moles multiplied by the atomic mass unit. The atomic mass unit of carbon is 12. The mass of carbon in the compound is thus 12 * 0.2341= 2.8091

From the number of moles of water, we can get the number of moles of hydrogen. To get the number of moles of water, we need to divide the mass of water by its molar mass. Its molar mass is 18g/mol. The number of moles here is thus 4.2/18 = 0.2333

But there are 2 atoms of hydrogen in 1 mole of water and thus, the number of moles of hydrogen is 2 * 0.2333 = 0.4667 moles

The mass of hydrogen is thus 0.4667* 1 = 0.4667

The mass of oxygen equals the mass of the compound minus that of hydrogen and that of carbon.

= 4.2 - 0.4667 - 2.8091 = 0.9242

The number of moles of oxygen is the mass of oxygen divided by its atomic mass unit.

That equals 0.9242/16 = 0.0577625 moles

The empirical formula can be obtained by dividing the number of moles of each by the smallest which is that of oxygen

H = 0.4667/0.0577625 = 8

O = 0.0577625/0.0577625 = 1

C = 0.2341/0.0577625 = 4

The empirical formula is thus C4H8O

A ____________ alkene is more stable than a ____________ alkene because they have fewer steric interactions. In an elimination r

Vesna [10]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

A <u>trans</u> alkene is more stable than a <u>cis alkene</u> because they have fewer steric interactions.

<em>⇒ In a cis alkene there is steric hindrance, because the methyl groups are on the same side of the double bond. </em>

<em>Because of this steric crowding, there are van der Waals repulsive forces between the electron clouds of the groups. </em>

<em> </em>

<em>This decreases the stability of the cis alkene.</em>

<em />

In an elimination reaction, a geometry where the β hydrogen and the leaving group are on opposite sides of the molecule is called <u>anti</u> periplanar.

<em> ⇒ 'Anti’ refers to the two functional groups lying on opposite sides of the plane of the bond</em>

In an <u>SN1 </u>mechanism, a nucleophile attacks the carbocation, forming a substitution product,

<em> ⇒ The SN1 reaction is a substitution reaction, and means "nucleophilic substitution".The "1" says that the rate-determining step is unimolecular. Thus, the rate equation is often shown as having first-order dependence on electrophile and zero-order dependence on nucleophile.</em>

while in an <u>E1</u><u> </u>mechanism, a base removes a β hydrogen from the carbocation, forming a new π-bond.

<em> ⇒ E1 indicates a elimination, unimolecular reaction</em>

<em>This implies that the rate determining step of the mechanism depends on the decomposition of a single molecular species.</em>

<em>.This is a classic elimination reaction – forming a new C–C(π) bond, and breaking a C–H and C–leaving group bond.</em>

CH3CH2Br and NaOH react by an <u>SN2</u><u> </u>mechanism.

<em> ⇒ It's a type of reaction mechanism that is common in organic chemistry, where one bond is broken and one bond is formed, synchronously, (in one step.) </em>

Stronger bases, like hydroxide, favor<u> E2</u> reactions, whereas weaker bases, like water favor, <u>E1</u> reactions

Disubstituted alkenes always have the possibility to exist as two different <u>Diastereomer.</u>

<em>Diastereomer are stereoisomers that are not mirror images of one another and are non-superimposable on one another. They exist (always) in 2 forms.</em>

<u>Elimination reactions</u> are regioselective, favoring formation of the more substituted and more stable alkene.
