As someone falls toward the Earth, what happens to their GPE?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Dimas [21]3 years ago
3 0
<h3>Answer:</h3>

B. Decreases

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • The potential energy or stored energy possessed by an object relative to the earth's gravity is known as gravitational potential energy, GPE.
  • This energy depends on the position of the object from the earth's surface and its weight.
  • It is given by, GPE = mass × height × gravitational acceleration
  • Therefore, a heavier object has more gravitational potential compared to a lighter object at the same height.
  • Additionally, an object at a higher height from the surface of the earth will possess more gravitational potential energy compared to an object near the earth's surface.

In this case;

  • We would, therefore, conclude that when someone falls towards the earth his/her gravitational potential energy (GPE) decreases due to a decrease in height from the surface of the earth.

13. Would you expect oxygen to form a cation or anion? How many electrons would it gain or lose? Why?
netineya [11]

Answer: C)Anion, it would gain 2 electrons to satisfy the octet rule.

Explanation:

Electronic configuration represents the total number of electrons that a neutral element contains. We add all the superscripts to know the number of electrons in an atom.

The electrons are filled according to Afbau's rule in order of increasing energies and thus the electronic configuration of oxygen with 8 electrons is

O:8:1s^22s^22p^4

The cation is formed by loss of electrons and anions are formed by gain of electrons.  

In order to complete its octet and get stable, it gains 2 electrons and thus would form an anion.

O^{2-}:10:1s^22s^22p^6

II. Ionic Equations
mario62 [17]

Answer:

Complete ionic: \begin{aligned}& \rm 2\, Ag^{+}\, (aq) + 2\, {NO_3}^{-} \, (aq) + Ca^{2+}\, (aq) + 2\, Cl^{-}\, (aq) \\ & \rm \to 2\, AgCl\, (s) + Ca^{2+}\, (aq) + 2\, {NO_3}^{-}\, (aq)\end{aligned}.

Net ionic: \begin{aligned}& \rm Ag^{+}\, (aq) + Cl^{-}\, (aq) \to AgCl\, (s)\end{aligned}.

Explanation:

Start by identifying species that exist as ions. In general, such species include:

  • Soluble salts.
  • Strong acids and strong bases.

All four species in this particular question are salts. However, only three of them are generally soluble in water: \rm AgNO_3, \rm CaCl_2, and \rm Ca(NO_3)_2. These three salts will exist as ions:

  • Each \rm AgNO_3\, (aq) formula unit will exist as one \rm Ag^{+} ion and one \rm {NO_3}^{-} ion.
  • Each \rm CaCl_2 formula unit will exist as one \rm Ca^{2+} ion and two \rm Cl^{-} ions (note the subscript in the formula \rm CaCl_2\!.)
  • Each \rm Ca(NO_3)_2 formula unit will exist as one \rm Ca^{2+} and two \rm {NO_3}^{-} ions.

On the other hand, \rm AgCl is generally insoluble in water. This salt will not form ions.

Rewrite the original chemical equation to get the corresponding ionic equation. In this question, rewrite \rm AgNO_3, \rm CaCl_2, and \rm Ca(NO_3)_2 (three soluble salts) as the corresponding ions.

Pay attention to the coefficient of each species. For example, indeed each \rm AgNO_3\, (aq) formula unit will exist as only one \rm Ag^{+} ion and one \rm {NO_3}^{-} ion. However, because the coefficient of \rm AgNO_3\, (aq)\! in the original equation is two, \!\rm AgNO_3\, (aq) alone should correspond to two \rm Ag^{+}\! ions and two \rm {NO_3}^{-}\! ions.

Do not rewrite the salt \rm AgCl because it is insoluble.

\begin{aligned}& \rm 2\, Ag^{+}\, (aq) + 2\, {NO_3}^{-} \, (aq) + Ca^{2+}\, (aq) + 2\, Cl^{-}\, (aq) \\ & \rm \to 2\, AgCl\, (s) + Ca^{2+}\, (aq) + 2\, {NO_3}^{-}\, (aq)\end{aligned}.

Eliminate ions that are present on both sides of this ionic equation. In this question, such ions include one unit of \rm Ca^{2+} and two units of \rm {NO_3}^{-}. Doing so will give:

\begin{aligned}& \rm 2\, Ag^{+}\, (aq) + 2\, Cl^{-}\, (aq) \to 2\, AgCl\, (s)\end{aligned}.

Simplify the coefficients:

\begin{aligned}& \rm Ag^{+}\, (aq) + Cl^{-}\, (aq) \to AgCl\, (s)\end{aligned}.

Nitrogen dioxide and water react to form nitric acid and nitrogen monoxide, like this:
posledela

Answer: The value of the equilibrium constant Kc for this reaction is 3.72

Explanation:

Equilibrium concentration of HNO_3 = \frac{15.5g}{63g/mol\times 9.5L}=0.026M

Equilibrium concentration of NO = \frac{16.6g}{30g/mol\times 9.5L}=0.058M

Equilibrium concentration of NO_2 = \frac{22.5g}{46g/mol\times 9.5L}=0.051M

Equilibrium concentration of H_2O = \frac{189.0g}{18g/mol\times 9.5L}=1.10M

Equilibrium constant is defined as the ratio of concentration of products to the concentration of reactants each raised to the power their stoichiometric ratios. It is expressed as K_c  

For the given chemical reaction:

2HNO_3(aq)+NO(g)\rightarrow 3NO_2(g)+H_2O(l)

The expression for K_c is written as:

K_c=\frac{[NO_2]^3\times [H_2O]^1}{[HNO_3]^2\times [NO]^1}

K_c=\frac{(0.051)^3\times (1.10)^1}{(0.026)^2\times (0.058)^1}

K_c=3.72

Thus  the value of the equilibrium constant Kc for this reaction is 3.72
