Answer:

The potential energy is 9800 J.

Explanation:

given information:

mass, m = 50 kg

height, h = 20 m

to calculate the potential energy, we can use the following formula

PE = mgh

where

PE = potential energy (Joule)

m = mass (kg)

h = height (m)

g = gravitational constant (9.8 m/s²)

so,

PE = mgh

    = 50 x 9.8 x 20

    = 9800 J

The gas in a closed container has a pressure of 3.00 x 10² kPa 30 ° C. What will the pressure be if the temperature is lowered t
Rainbow [258]

Answer: 100kPa

Explanation:

P1 = 3.00 x 10² kPa , P2 =?

T1 = 30°C = 30 +273 = 303k

T2 = —172°C = —172 + 273 = 101k

P1/T1 = P2/T2

3 x 10² / 303 = P2 / 101

P2 = (3 x 10² / 303) x 101

P2 = 100kPa

phosphorus trifluoride is formed from its elements P4 (s) F2 (g) ---> PF3 (g) how many grams of fluorine are needed to react
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

This is an incomplete question, here is a complete question.

Phosphorus trifluoride is formed from its elements.

P_4(s)+6F_2(g)\rightarrow 4PF_3(g)

How many grams of fluorine are needed to react with 6.20 g of phosphorus?

Answer : The mass of F_2 needed are, 11.4 grams.

Explanation : Given,

Mass of P_4 = 6.20 g

Molar mass of P_4 = 124 g/mol

Molar mass of F_2 = 38 g/mol

First we have to calculate the moles of P_4

\text{Moles of }P_4=\frac{\text{Given mass }P_4}{\text{Molar mass }P_4}

\text{Moles of }P_4=\frac{6.20g}{124g/mol}=0.05mol

Now we have to calculate the moles of F_2

The balanced chemical equation is:

P_4(s)+6F_2(g)\rightarrow 4PF_3(g)

From the balanced reaction we conclude that

As, 1 mole of P_4 react with 6 moles of F_2

So, 0.05 moles of P_4 react with 0.05\times 6=0.30 moles of F_2

Now we have to calculate the mass of F_2

\text{ Mass of }F_2=\text{ Moles of }F_2\times \text{ Molar mass of }F_2

\text{ Mass of }F_2=(0.30moles)\times (38g/mole)=11.4g

Therefore, the mass of F_2 needed are, 11.4 grams.
