Anouk does 150 J of work using a hammer to pull a nail out of a piece of wood, and the hammer does 105 J of work on the nail. Wh
astraxan [27]
The efficiency of any machine is given by:

efficiency = output obtained / input given

Substituting the values,
Efficiency = 105 / 150
Efficiency = 0.7

Converting this to a percentage, the efficiency of the hammer is 70%.
This is a fairly high efficiency, and this is due to the fact that the hammer is a simpler machine. The more complex a machine is, the greater are the losses in it due to friction, meaning there is a lower efficiency.

. In which reaction is nitric acid acting as an oxidising agent?
Talja [164]

Answer:

B. Cu + 4HNO3 → Cu(NO3)2 + 2H2O + 2NO2

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, we should understand oxidizing agents as those substances able to increase the oxidation state of another substance, therefore, in B. reaction we notice that copper oxidation state at the beginning is zero (no bonds are formed) and once it reacts with nitric acid, its oxidation states raises to +2 in copper (II) nitrate, thus, in B. Cu + 4HNO3 → Cu(NO3)2 + 2H2O + 2NO2 nitritc acid is acting as the oxidizing agent.

Moreover, in the other reactions, copper (A.), sodium (C. and D.) remain with the same initial oxidation state, +2 and +1 respectively.

Regards.

Some people must eat a low-sodium diet with no more than 2,000 mg of sodium per day. By eating 1 cracker, 1 pretzel, and 1 cooki
Leni [432]

Answer:

The amount of sodium is 32 mg per cracker, 49 mg per pretzel and 68 mg per cookie.

Explanation:

Let's assume amount of sodium is x mg per cracker, y mg per pretzel and z mg per cookie.

So, the following three equations can be written as per given information:

x+y+z = 149 ........(1)

8y+8z = 936 ........(2)

6x+7y = 535 .........(3)

From equation- (2), y+z = \frac{936}{8} = 117

By substituting the value of (y+z) in equation- (1) we get,

                          x = 149-(y+z) = 149-117 = 32

By substituting the value of x into equation- (3) we get,

                           y = \frac{535-(6\times 32)}{7} = 49

By substituting the value of y  into equation- (2) we get,

                           z = (117-49) = 68

So, the amount of sodium is 32 mg per cracker, 49 mg per pretzel and 68 mg per cookie.

Balance the following reaction. 2Ca3(PO4)2 + C + 6SiO2 → CaSiO3 + P4 + CO
miskamm [114]

Answer:

2Ca₃(PO₄)₂ + 10C + 6SiO₂ → 6CaSiO₃ + P₄ + 10CO.

Explanation:

  • To balance a chemical reaction, we should apply the law of conservation of mass.

  • Law of conversation of mass states that the no. of atoms is equal in both sides of the chemical reaction.

  • So, the balanced chemical reaction is:

<em>2Ca₃(PO₄)₂ + 10C + 6SiO₂ → 6CaSiO₃ + P₄ + 10CO.</em>

that 2 mol of Ca₃(PO₄)₂ react with 10 mol of C and  6 mol of SiO₂ to produce 6 mol of CaSiO₃, 1 mol of P₄ and 10 mol of CO.
