Answer:

We, apply equal torque to both spheres and measure their final angular acceleration.

Explanation:

The moment of Inertia of solid sphere will be (2/5)mr²

The moment of Inertia of hollow sphere will be (2/3)mr²

Thus, the moment of inertia of inertia of hollow sphere is greater than that of the solid sphere. Since, the torque is equal to the product of moment of inertia and angular acceleration.

Therefore, we design a test such that we apply the same amount of torque to both the spheres. Due to greater amount of moment of inertia the hollow sphere will acquire high angular acceleration, while solid sphere will acquire low angular acceleration.

Hence, by the measurement of final angular acceleration, we can determine, which sphere is which.

The isotope of an unknown element, X, has a mass number of 79. The most stable ion of this isotope has 36 electrons and has a 22
Tema [17]

Answer:

A) False

B) True

C) True

D) True

Explanation:

A) False. If the charge of the atom is +2 means that you have two protons more than number of electrons. If you have 36 electrons you must have <em>38 protons.</em> Also, the electrons are not in the nucleus.

B) True. The isotope of X contains 38 protons, two more than the electron number.

C) True. The mass number is the number of protons + number of neutrons.

If the mass number is 79 and there are 38 protons you must have 41 neutrons.

D) True. You can now the identity of the atom with the number of protons that is the same than atomic number. The strontium, Sr, is the atom with 38 as atomic number.

I hope it helps!

Write the formulae for the following and calculate the molecular mass for each one of them,
tatuchka [14]

Explanation:

a) NaHCO₃

= 23 + 1 + 12 + 16×3

= 23 + 1 + 12 + 48

= 84 g/mol

b) CaO

= 40 + 16

= 56 g/mol

c) NaCl

= 23 + 35.5

= 58.5 g/mol

Calculate the mass of CO2 that can be produced if the reaction of 54.0 g of propane and sufficient oxygen has a 64.0% yield.
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

103.9 g

Explanation:

  • C₃H₈ + 5O₂ → 3CO₂ + 4H₂O

First <u>we convert 54.0 g of propane (C₃H₈) into moles</u>, using its <em>molar mass</em>:

  • 54.0 g ÷ 44 g/mol = 1.23 mol C₃H₈

Then we <u>convert 1.23 moles of C₃H₈ into moles of CO₂</u>, using the <em>stoichiometric coefficients</em>:

  • 1.23 mol C₃H₈ * \frac{3molCO_2}{1molC_3H_8} = 3.69 mol CO₂

We <u>convert 3.69 moles of CO₂ into grams</u>, using its <em>molar mass</em>:

  • 3.69 mol CO₂ * 44 g/mol = 162.36 g

And <u>apply the given yield</u>:

  • 162.36 g * 64.0/100 = 103.9 g

Given the chemical formulas of the following compounds, name each compound and state the rules you used to determine each name.
Svetlanka [38]
When naming an ionic compound, write the name of the cation, which is the metal first. Then, write the name of the anion, which is the nonmetal. However, you remove the last 2-3 letters and replace suffixes. 

1. RbF --> Rubidium Fluoride
Change fluorine to fluoride
2. CuO --> Copper (II) Oxide
Change oxygen to oxide. Oxide has a charge of -2. Since no subscripts are written, it means they have the same opposite charge. So, we use Copper (II).

NH₄ is ammonia, but we change it to ammonium for polyatomic ions.
