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.

Calculate the acid dissociation constant Ka of a 0.2 M solution of weak acid that is 0.1% ionized is ________.
mars1129 [50]

Answer: acid dissociation constant Ka= 2.00×10^-7

Explanation:

For the reaction

HA + H20. ----> H3O+ A-

Initially: C. 0. 0

After : C-Cx. Cx. Cx

Ka= [H3O+][A-]/[HA]

Ka= Cx × Cx/C-Cx

Ka= C²X²/C(1-x)

Ka= Cx²/1-x

Where x is degree of dissociation = 0.1% = 0.001 and c is the concentration =0.2

Ka= 0.2(0.001²)/(1-0.001)

Ka= 2.00×10^-7

Therefore the dissociation constant is

2.00×10^-7
