How is it possible for two neutral objects to become charged by rubbing them together? A. The binding force of the objects’ atom

s overcomes the frictional force and their atoms become more tightly bound. B. The frictional force overcomes the atoms’ binding force, which releases an electron from the innermost orbit of one of the objects. C. There is no change in the objects. D. The frictional force overcomes the force that binds the electrons to the atoms, enabling the electrons to move elsewhere

Answer:

D. The frictional force overcomes the force that binds the electrons to the atoms, enabling the electrons to move elsewhere

Explanation:

Neutral objects becomes charged by rubbing them together due to the frictional force which overcomes the attractive force holding electrons together in an atom.

Friction is the resistance to flow or movement. When we rub bodies together, the movement of electrons becomes inhibited and this can cause an orbital electron loosely held in an atom to be pulled off as the force of friction increases. This mechanism would result in a body losing electron and another readily gaining that electron as they interact. The loss and gain of electrons causes a neutral body to become charged.

Use the following information to answer the following question.
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

For these problems, we need to compare the theoretical yield that we'd get from performing stoichiometry to the actual yield stated in the problem. % yield is the actual yield/theoretical yield x 100%  

Cu + 2 AgNO₠→ Cu(NOâ‚)â‚‚ + 2 Ag ==> each mole of copper yields two moles of silver  

12.7-g Cu x ( 1 mol Cu /63.5-g Cu) x ( 2 mol Ag / 1 mol Cu) x (108-g Ag / 1 mol Ag) = 43.2-g Ag. This is the theoretical yield. Now, since we got 38.1-g Ag our % yield is:  

38.1-g/43.2-g x 100% = 88.2%
