You drop the pendulum bob and it swings from point A to point C, and then back again. Eventually it slows down and stops, settli

ng at point B. A similar pendulum can be found in a pendulum clock. However, the clock pendulum does not stop; it continues to swing back and forth, with a tick-tick. Why is there a difference between the lab pendulum and the clock pendulum?
A) All of the potential energy is not converted to kinetic energy.
B) An enclosed pendulum is not acted on by air resistance or gravity.
C) An external energy source, like a battery, is needed to maintain motion.
Eliminate
D) Air resistance is not a factor since the pendulum is housed inside the clock.

B An enclosed pendulum is not acted on by air resistence or gravity. Plus, pendulum's in clocks are electronic (I think) so that's why it keeps moving back in forth. (at least i think so)

Phosphoric acid has 3 pka values, which are 2.1, 6.9, and 12.4. draw the protonated form of phosphoric acid associated with the
Margaret [11]
As mentioned above, phosphoric acid has 3 pKa values, and after 3 ionization it gives 3 types of ions at different pKa values:

H₃PO₄(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇌ H₃O⁺(aq) + H₂PO₄⁻ (aq)         pKₐ₁ 
<span>

</span>H₂PO₄⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇌ H₃O⁺(aq) + HPO₄²⁻ (aq)       pKₐ₂


HPO₄²⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇌ H₃O⁺(aq) + PO₄³⁻ (aq)          pKₐ₃ 


At the highest pKa value (12.4) of phosphoric acid, the last OH group will lose its hydrogen. On the picture I attached, it is shown required protonated form of phosphoric acid before reaction whose pKa value is 12.4.

Pablo's experiments confirm the relationship between pressure and the number of gas molecules. as the pressure in a system incre
horrorfan [7]
The correct answer is:  [C]:  
___________________________________________________________
          "<span>pressure and the number of gas molecules are directly related."
___________________________________________________________
<u>Note</u>:  The conclusion was: "</span> as the pressure in a system increases, the number of gas molecules increases" — over the course of many trials.
          This means that the "pressure" and the "number of gas molecules" are directly related.

Furthermore, this conclusion is consistent with the "ideal gas law" equation:

     " PV = nRT " ; 
____________________________________________________________
in which:

    "P = Pressure" ; 
    "n = number of gas molecules" ; 
___________________________________________________________
        All other factors held equal, when "n" (the "number of gas molecules") 
 increases in value (on the "right-hand side" of the equation), the value for "P" (the "pressure" — on the "left-hand side" of the equation), increases.

What is the mass of 2.5 mol of ca, which has a molar mass of g/mol
swat32
Atomic mass Ca = 40 a.m.u

1 mole Ca ----------- 40 g
2.5 mols Ca -------- ( mass Ca )

Mass Ca = 2.5 x 40 / 1

Mass Ca = 100 / 1

= 100 g of Ca

hope this helps!

Which statement best describes the amount of catalyst that remains at the end of a reaction?
Ivenika [448]
I believe the correct answer is C. The amount of catalyst is the same at the end as at the beginning of the reaction. Catalysts can't be consumed by the reaction thus is not D.
