Develop a demonstration to show how weight is not the same thing as mass

Chemistry
1 answer:
maksim [4K]3 years ago
4 0

Answer with Explanation:

"Mass" and "weight" should never be used interchangeably with each other. Mass refers to the <u>total amount of matter</u><u> that can be measured in an object, </u>while weight refers to the<u> measure of the</u><u> force of gravity</u><u> that is acting on the object's mass.</u>

The mass of an object is<u> constant</u> (meaning, it doesn't change even if the object will be placed on another location) while the weight of an object relies on the <em>force of gravity.</em> So, this means that your mass on Earth and on the moon are identical, however, your weight on Earth and on the Moon are different. You will weigh lesser on the Moon because it has a lesser surface gravity than that of Earth.

So, this explains the answer.

For the reaction shown here, 3.5 mola is mixed with 5.9 molb and 2.2 molc. what is the limiting reactant?3a+2b+c→2d
Misha Larkins [42]
<span>For equation A + 3B + 2C ---> 2D, 1 mole of A will produce 2 moles of D 3 moles of B will produce 2 moles of D, so 1 mole of B will produce 2/3 moles of D 2 moles of C will produce 2 moles of D, so 1 mole of C will produce 1 mole of D If only 1 mole of B is present, only 2/3 moles of D can be produced. This is regardless of the number of moles of A and C. B is the limiting reactant and the maximum number of moles of D expected is 2/3.</span>
