Why is the fact that light travels at 300,000 km/s is a consequence of energy conservation?

Answer is: true.

The law of conservation of energy states that the total energy of an isolated system remains constant; energy can neither be created nor destroyed; it can only be transformed or transferred from one form to another.

Albert Einstein (1879-1955) proposed that a beam of light is a collection of discrete wave packets (photons) with energy hν, where h is Planck constant and ν is frequency.

E = h·ν.

The balanced equation for combustion in an acetylene torch is shown below:
vichka [17]

Answer:

70mol

Explanation:

The equation of the reaction is given as:

                  2C₂H₂ + 5O₂ → 4CO₂ + 2H₂O

Given parameters:

Number of moles of acetylene = 35.0mol

Number of moles of oxygen in the tank = 84.0mol

Unknown:

Number of moles of CO₂ produced = 35.0mol

Solution:

From the information given about the reaction, we know that the reactant that limits this combustion process is acetylene. Oxygen is given in excess and we don't know the number of moles of this gas that was used up. We know for sure that all the moles of acetylene provided was used to furnish the burning procedure.

To determine the number of moles of CO₂ produced, we use the stoichiometric relationship between the known acetylene and the CO₂ produced from the balanced chemical equation:

From the equation:

         2 moles of acetylene produced 4 moles of CO₂

          ∴ 35.0 mol of acetylene would produced:  

                               \frac{35 x 4}{2} = 70mol

Earth receives some of the Sun's energy in the form of heat and light.
Deffense [45]

Answer:

The sun generates energy from a process called nuclear fusion. During nuclear fusion, the high pressure and temperature in the sun's core cause nuclei to separate from their electrons. Hydrogen nuclei fuse to form one helium atom. During the fusion process, radiant energy is released.

How many grams of ammonia (NH3) can be produced by the synthesis of excess hydrogen gas (H2) and 253.8 grams of nitrogen gas (N2
kogti [31]

Answer:

308.2 g of NH₃.

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is illustrated below:

3H₂ + N₂ —> 2NH₃

Next, we shall determine the mass of N₂ that reacted and the mass of NH₃ produced from the balanced equation. This can be obtained as follow:

Molar mass of N₂ = 2 × 14 = 28 g/mol

Mass of N₂ from the balanced equation = 1 × 28 = 28 g

Molar mass of NH₃ = 14 + (3×1)

= 14 + 3 = 17 g/mol

Mass of NH₃ from the balanced equation = 2 × 17 = 34 g

Summary:

From the balanced equation above,

28 g of N₂ reacted to produce 34 g of NH₃.

Finally, we shall determine the mass of NH₃ produced by the reaction of 253.8 g of N₂. This can be obtained as illustrated below:

From the balanced equation above,

28 g of N₂ reacted to produce 34 g of NH₃.

Therefore, 253.8 g of N₂ will react to produce = (253.8 × 34)/28 = 308.2 g of NH₃.

Thus, 308.2 g of NH₃ were obtained from the reaction.
