The energy produced during combustion of gasoline in a car engine is converted as kinetic energy.

Explanation

The conservation of energy clearly states that "energy can neither be created nor be destroyed , it can only be transferred from one form to another form".

The combustion of gasoline in a car engine tends to generate heat energy, this heat energy will be transferred as kinetic energy which will lead to motion of cars.

This the energy of the universe will be conserved as the energy created by the combustion is used as kinetic energy for movement of cars.

In a car driven by a gasoline combustion engine, heat energy is quickly converted into kinetic energy which results in the motion of the car.

According to the law of the conservation of energy, energy cannot be destroyed or created. It is can only be transformed from one form to another.

What is the volume of 4.78g of O2 gas at STP?

My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

Explanation:

The trick here is to realize that if you know the volume of a gas at STP, you can use the fact that

mole of any ideal gas occupies

22.7 L

under STP conditions to calculate how many moles of gas you have in your sample.

Under STP conditions:

1 mole of an ideal gas = 22.7 L

−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−

In your case, you know that your sample of gas occupies

2.28 L

under STP conditions, which are currently defined as a pressure of

100 kPa

and a temperature of

∘

This means that your sample will contain

Now, the molar mass of the gas is the mass of exactly

Since this is the mass of

What volume of stock solution and water must you add to prepare 36.25ml of a 1.25M solution

Serjik [45]

Given :

Number of moles , n = 36.25 mol .

Molarity , M = 1.25 M .

To Find :

The volume of water required .

Solution :

Moarity is given by :

$M=\dfrac{n}{V}$

So , $V=\dfrac{n}{M}$

Here , n is number of moles and M is molarity .

Putting all values in above equation , we get :

$V=\dfrac{36.25}{1.25}\\\\V=29\ L$

Therefore , volume of water required is 29 L .

The mole is defined as the amount of a substance containing the same number of particles as exactly 12 g of C-12. The amu is def

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

Because it wouldn't make any sense

Explanation:

First of all, I think it's important to highlight the definition of isotope.

Isotope (Wikipedia): Variants of a particular chemical element <u>which differ in neutron number</u>...

This means that two isotopes are the same element but have different net mass per atom, due to the different number of neutrons.

Therefore, it's important to make the definition on the same isotope so that the proportion is equal. If the definition would be made on different isotopes, the proportion wouldn't have any sense. Let me be clear with this example:

mass in grams of a C-12 atom = 1.9944235 × 10 ^ -23 g --> this is the mass of a single C atom.

By definition --> 1 mol of anything = 6.02 x 10 ^ 23 particles of anything

Therefore, we know how much a single C atom weights. How many grams do you think that 6.02 x 10 ^ 23 atoms of C (i.e a mol of C) could weight??

1 single C atom ----------------------------- 1.9944235 × 10 ^ -23 g

6.02 x 10 ^ 23 atoms of C ------------ <u>12.006 g !!</u>

These 12 g is the same quantity than above! Therefore, 1 mol of C weights 12 g. If the definition were made with 13 g of C-13 (the other C isotope), these numbers will not be the same --> There would be a contradiction.

Regarding the second question, we need to search Ne-20 atomic mass in grams --> 3,3509177 × 10 ^ -23 g

Hence, if we follow the same rule, the amu would be 1/12 of Ne-20.

[ 3,3509177 × 10 ^ -23 g ] / 12 = 2.79 ^ -24 g

Answer:

a. Heterogeneous
b. Homogeneous
c. Homogeneous
d. Heterogeneous
e. Heterogeneous

Explanation:

A heterogeneous mixture is a mixture in which you can see multiple different ingredients in, for example vegetable soup, tea with ice and lemon slices, or fruit salad.

A homogeneous mixture is a mixture in which you can only see one thing, for example tea, seawater, or milk.
