Explain the law of conservation of mass and how it applies to balancing chemical equations

1 answer:

5 0

The law of conservation of mass states that mass in an isolated system is neither created nor destroyed by chemical reactions or physical transformations. According to the law of conservation of mass, the mass of the products in a chemical reaction must equal the mass of the reactants.

Every chemical equation adheres to the law of conservation of mass, which states that matter cannot be created or destroyed. Therefore, there must be the same number of atoms of each element on each side of a chemical equation.

Which example has the least kinetic energy

Stells [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let’s calculate the kinetic energy for all of the choices.

a. (1/2)(100)(100)^2 = 50(10000)=500,000

b. (1/2)(100)(1)^2 = 50

c. (1/2)(10)(100)^2 = 5(10000) = 50,000

d. (1/2)(1)(1)^2 = 0.5

We can see that (d) has the least kinetic energy.

A satellite of Mars, called Phobos, has an orbital radius of 9.4 ✕ 106 m and a period of 2.8 ✕ 104 s. Assuming the orbit is circ

FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

$6.27*10^{23}kg$

Explanation:

assume

M= mass of Mars

m=mass of phobos

r=orbital radius

T=period

we can apply F=ma to this orbital motion (considering the cricular motion laws)

where,

$F=\frac{GMm}{r^{2} }$ and a=rω^2

where ω= $\frac{2\pi }{T}$ and G is the universal gravitational constant.

G = 6.67 x 10-11 N m2 / kg2

$F=ma\\\frac{GMm}{r^{2} }=mr(\frac{2\pi }{T} )^{2}\\ M=\frac{r^{3}}{G} (\frac{2\pi }{T} )^{2}\\M=\frac{(9.4*10x^{6} )^{3}*(2\pi )^{2} }{(2.8*10^{4}) ^{2} *6.67*10^{-11} } \\M=6.27*10^{23}kg$
