Answer:

Explanation:

4 atoms would be produced, since the reactants are 2 atoms of magnesium and 1 molecule of diatomic oxygen (which contains 2 atoms). Due to the law of conservation of matter, the total number of atoms can not increase or decrease in a chemical reaction.

4 atoms

Explanation:

On the product side, we expect to find 4 atoms of the product.

An atom is the smallest indivisible particle that takes part in a chemical reaction.

An element is a distinct substance that cannot be split-up into simpler substances. Such substances consist of only one kind of atom.

In this reaction we have:

2 elements: Mg O

on the reactant side:

We have two moles of Mg: 2 atoms of Mg

1 mole of oxygen gas: 2 atoms of O

total atoms: 4 atoms

According to the law of conservation of matter "in a chemical reaction, matter is neither created nor destroyed".

We expect to find 4 atoms of products which is MgO on the product side.

2Mg + O₂ → 2MgO + heat

A 0.5-kilogram piece of aluminum increases its temperature 7°C when heat energy (Q) is added. Set up the equation with the corre

mars1129 [50]

Answer:

Heat energy (Q) added is 3150 (J) .

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the aluminum = 0.5 kg

Change in temperature = 7°C

According to the question :

Heat energy (Q) is added up.

We have to find the equation with correct values.

We know that,Q = mCΔT m is the mass,C is the specific heat and T is the change in temperature.

Specific heat of aluminum = 900 (J/kg °C)

Plugging the values,we have :

⇒ $Q=mC\Delta T$

⇒ $Q = 0.5\times 900\times 7$

⇒ $Q= 3150$ Joules (J)

So the heat energy added (Q) = 3150 Joules.

5. A car accelerates from rest down a highway at 6 m/s2 for 5 seconds. What distance did the car travel during acceleration?

Mumz [18]

Answer:

75 m

Explanation:

The distance x for a uniform acceleration is given by the equation:

$x = \frac{1}{2}at^{2}+v_ot+x_o$

The given values are:

a = 6 m/s², t = 5 s, v₀ = 0, x₀ = 0

A 5.00-V battery charges the parallel plates in a capacitor, with a plate area of 865 mm2 and an air-filled separation of 3.00 m

Westkost [7]

Answer:

W = 3.21x10⁻¹¹ J

Explanation:

The work required to separate the plates can be calculated using the following equation:

$W = U_{2} - U_{1} = \frac{1}{2}(C_{2}V_{2}^{2} - C_{1}V_{1}^{2})$

<u>Where</u>:

U₂: is the final stored energy

U₁: is the initial stored energy

C₂: is the final capacitance

C₁: is the initial capacitance

V₁: is the initial potential difference = 5.00 V

V₂: is the final potential difference

The initial and final capacitance is:

$C_{1} = \epsilon_{0}*\frac{A}{d_{1}}$

<u>Where</u>:

ε₀: is the vacuum permittivity = 8.85x10⁻¹² C²/(N*m²)

d: is the initial distance = 3.00 mm = 3.00x10⁻³ m

A: is the plate area = 865 mm² = 8.65x10⁻⁴ m²

$C_{1} = \epsilon_{0}*\frac{A}{d_{1}} = 8.85 \cdot 10^{-12} C^{2}/(N*m^{2})*\frac{8.65 \cdot 10^{-4} m^{2}}{3.00 \cdot 10^{-3} m} = 2.55 \cdot 10^{-12} F$

Similarly, C₂ is:

$C_{2} = \epsilon_{0}*\frac{A}{d_{2}} = 8.85 \cdot 10^{-12} C^{2}/(N*m^{2})*\frac{8.65 \cdot 10^{-4} m^{2}}{3.00 + 3.00 \cdot 10^{-3} m} = 1.28 \cdot 10^{-12} F$

Now, V₂ can be calculated by finding the initial charge (q₁):

$q_{1} = C_{1}V_{1} = 2.55 \cdot 10^{-12} F*5.00 V = 1.28 \cdot 10^{-11} C$

Since, q₁ is equal to q₂, V₂ is:

$V_{2} = \frac{q_{2}}{C_{2}} = \frac{1.28 \cdot 10^{-11} C}{1.28 \cdot 10^{-12} F} = 10 V$

Finally, we can find the work:

$W = \frac{1}{2}(C_{2}V_{2}^{2} - C_{1}V_{1}^{2}) = \frac{1}{2}(1.28 \cdot 10^{-12} F*(10 V)^{2} - 2.55 \cdot 10^{-12} F(5.00 V)^{2}) = 3.21 \cdot 10^{-11} J$

Therefore, the work required to separate the plates is 3.21x10⁻¹¹ J.

I hope it helps you!

Answer:

They had different beliefs and backgrounds.

Explanation:

Ptolemy believed in geocentric model of the solar system -the earth at the center and the sun, other planets and stars revolved about it. His belief was based on his observation that sun and other objects in sky seemed to revolve about the Earth as they rose and set in one day.

Copernicus while reading a book, constructed the theory of heliocentric system which was later proved through observations.
