Explain the term contact force and give examples​

Chemistry
1 answer:
aliya0001 [1]3 years ago
3 0

Answer & Explanation:

In physics, a contact force is a force that acts at the point of contact between two objects, in contrast to body forces. Contact forces are described by Newton's laws of motion, as with all other forces in dynamics. Contact force is the force in which an object comes in contact with another object. Contact forces are also direct forces. Contact forces are ubiquitous and are responsible for most visible interactions between macroscopic collections of matter. Pushing a car up a hill or kicking a ball or pushing a desk across a room are some of the everyday examples where contact forces are at work. In the first case the force is continuously applied by the person on the car, while in the second case the force is delivered in a short impulse.

Consider the following reaction: AB(s)⇌A(g)+B(g) . At equilibrium, a 10.9 L container at 650 K contains A(g) at a pressure of 0.
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

pA = 0.095 atm

pB = 0.303 atm

Explanation:

Step 1: the reaction

AB(s) ⇔ A(g) + B(g)

Kp = pA * pB

⇒ with Kp = equilibrium constant

Kp = 0.126 * 0.23  ⇒ Kp = 0.02898

Since the container will be compressed to half of its original volume, means that he pressure will be doubled.

⇒pA = 0.252

⇒pB =0.46

To establish this equilibrium, each pressure has to be lowered by x

⇒pA = 0.252 - x

⇒pB = 0.46 - x

Kp = 0.02898 = (0.252 - x)(0.46-x)

0.02898 = 0.11592 - 0.252x -0.46x + x²

-x² + 0.712x - 0.08694 = 0

D= b² - 4ac

⇒ D = 0.712² -4*(-1) *(-0.08694) = 0.506944‬ -0.34776‬ =0.159184

x = (-b ± √D)/2a  

x = (-0.712 ± √0.159184)/(2*-1)  = (-0.712 ± 0.398978696)/-2

x = 0.156510652 or x= 0.555489348

x = 0.555489348 is impossble or the pressure would be negative

x=0.156510652

pA =0.252 - 0.156510652 = 0.095489348 atm

pB = 0.46 - 0.156510652 = 0.303489348 atm

Every Methane molecule looks different. True or false?
Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Molecules of the same substance are made up of the same type of atoms and look exactly alike.

Hence, if I have two molecules of methane having exactly the same atoms of carbon and hydrogen,the both are indistinguishable from each other based on appearance.

Hence all molecules of methane are exactly alike if they are composed of atoms of the same isotope of hydrogen and carbon.

How many protons and neutrons does nitrogen-14 have?
zhenek [66]

Answer:

7 protons

Isotopes are atoms that have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons in the nucleus. You know that nitrogen-14 has 7 protons in the nucleus because it is an isotope of nitrogen, which has an atomic number equal to 7 .
