Answer:

The book sitting on the desk

Explanation:

The gravitational potential energy of an object is the energy possessed by the object due to its position relative to the ground.

It is calculated as:

$GPE=mgh$

where

m is the mass of the object

g is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height of the object with respect to the ground

From the formula, we see that the GPE of an object is directly proportional to the heigth h: so, the higher the location of the object, the larger the GPE.

In this problem, we are comparing a book sitting on a desk and the same book sitting on the floor. In the two situations, the mass of the book is the same; however, in the first case, the value of the height is h, while in the second case, the value of h is lower (because the book is located at a lower height, being on the floor).

Therefore, we can conclude that the first book must have a larger GPE, since it has a larger value of h.

When of alanine are dissolved in of a certain mystery liquid , the freezing point of the solution is less than the freezing poin

LenaWriter [7]

The question is incomplete, the complete question is:

When 177. g of alanine $(C_3H_7NO_2)$ are dissolved in 800.0 g of a certain mystery liquid X, the freezing point of the solution is $5.9^oC$ lower than the freezing point of pure X. On the other hand, when 177.0 g of potassium bromide are dissolved in the same mass of X, the freezing point of the solution is $7.2^oC$ lower than the freezing point of pure X. Calculate the van't Hoff factor for potassium bromide in X.

Answer: The van't Hoff factor for potassium bromide in X is 1.63

Explanation:

Depression in the freezing point is defined as the difference between the freezing point of the pure solvent and the freezing point of the solution.

The expression for the calculation of depression in freezing point is:

$\Delta T_f=i\times K_f\times m$

$\Delta T_f=i\times K_f\times \frac{m_{solute}\times 1000}{M_{solute}\times w_{solvent}\text{(in g)}}$ ......(1)

When alanine is dissolved in mystery liquid X:

$\Delta T_f=5.9^oC$

i = Vant Hoff factor = 1 (for non-electrolytes)

$K_f$ = freezing point depression constant

$m_{solute}$ = Given mass of solute (alanine) = 177. g

$M_{solute}$ = Molar mass of solute (alanine) = 89 g/mol

$w_{solvent}$ = Mass of solvent = 800.0 g

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$5.9=1\times K_f\times \frac{177\times 1000}{89\times 800}\\\\K_f=\frac{5.9\times 89\times 800}{1\times 177\times 1000}\\\\K_f=2.37^oC/m$

When KBr is dissolved in mystery liquid X:

$\Delta T_f=7.2^oC$

i = Vant Hoff factor = ?

$K_f$ = freezing point depression constant = $2.37^oC/m$

$m_{solute}$ = Given mass of solute (KBr) = 177. g

$M_{solute}$ = Molar mass of solute (KBr) = 119 g/mol

$w_{solvent}$ = Mass of solvent = 800.0 g

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$7.2=i\times 2.37\times \frac{177\times 1000}{119\times 800}\\\\i=\frac{7.2\times 119\times 800}{2.37\times 177\times 1000}\\\\i=1.63$

Hence, the van't Hoff factor for potassium bromide in X is 1.63

Is heated water more or less dense than the melted snow And rainwater

san4es73 [151]

Answer:

Heated water is more dense than melted snow because water as liquid is denser than ice. Ice floats on water, which means that it has less density than water. Heated water is warmer and more dense than melted ice.
