What factors determine an objects kinetic energy

ludmilkaskok [199]

According to the formula of KE.

KE = 1/2m • v^2.

Both of the variables of mass and energy m determines an object's kinetic energy. Assuming the mass of an object is held constant, the change in velocity, or velocity change will dictate the amount of kinetic energy that a particular object posses.

Collision Coverage Example:
You're driving down the street and rear end the car in front of you. Your liability insurance will pau for the damage done to the other car, and your Collision insurance (or coverage) will pay for the damage done to your own vehicle because this was an accident in which you collided with another vehicle.

Comprehensive Coverage Example:
When there's damage to your windshield; damage from natural disasters and bad weather conditions, like wind storms, hurricanes, floods, earthquakes, hail, etc,.

Phosphorus pentachloride reacts with water to form hydrochloric acid and phosphoric acid. How many total moles of acid are forme

klio [65]

Answer:

0,13 moles of acid are produced

Explanation:

The reaction of the problem is:

PCl₅ + 4H₂O → 5HCl + H₃PO₄

Based on the reaction, 1 mole of PCl₅ produces 6 moles of acid (5 moles of HCl + 1 mole of H₃PO₄).

The molecular mass of PCl₅ is:

1P = 30,97g/mol + 5Cl = 5×35,45g/mol = 208,24 g/mol

That means 4,5g of PCl₅ are:

4,5g PCl₅×(1mol / 208,24g) = 0,0216 moles of PCl₅. As 1 mole of PCl₅ produces 6 moles of acid, 0,0216 moles of PCl₅ produce:

0,0216 moles PCl₅ × (6 moles acid / mole of PCl₅) =

0,13 moles of acid are produced

I hope it helps!

Consider two equal-volume flasks of gas at the same temperature and pressure. One gas, oxygen, has a molecular mass of 32. The o

san4es73 [151]

Answer: The ratio of the number of oxygen molecules to the number of nitrogen molecules in these flasks is 1: 1

Explanation:

According to avogadro's law, equal volumes of all gases at same temperature and pressure have equal number of moles.

According to avogadro's law, 1 mole of every substance contains avogadro's number $6.023\times 10^{23}$ of particles.

Thus as oxygen and nitrogen are at same temperature and pressure and are in equal volume flasks , they have same number of moles and thus have same number of molecules.

The ratio of the number of oxygen molecules to the number of nitrogen molecules in these flasks is 1: 1
