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

What is the empirical formula of a hydrocarbon if complete combustion or 2.900 mg of the hydrocarbon produced 9.803 mg of CO2 an
kow [346]

Answer:

The empirical formula of the hydrocarbon is CH.

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Mass of hydrocarbon = 2.9 mg

Mass of CO2 = 9.803 mg

Mass of H2O = 2.006 mg

Next, we shall determine the mass of carbon (C) and hydrogen (H) in the compound since hydrocarbon contains carbon and hydrogen only.

This is illustrated below:

Molar mass of CO2 = 12 + (16x2) = 12 + 32 = 44 g/mol

Mass of CO2 = 9.803 mg

Mass of C in the compound =?

Mass of C in the compound =

12/44 x 9.803

= 2.674 mg

Molar mass of H2O = (2x1) + 16 = 2 + 16 = 18 g/mol

Mass of H2O = 2.006 mg

Mass of H in the compound =

2/18 x 2.006

= 0.223 mg

Finally, we shall determine the empirical formula of the hydrocarbon as follow:

Carbon (C) = 2.674 mg

Hydrogen (H) = 0.223 mg

Divide by their molar mass

C = 2.674 /12 = 0.223

H = 0.223 / 1 = 0.223

Divide both side by the the smallest

C = 0.223/0.223 = 1

H = 0.223/0.223 = 1

Therefore, the empirical formula of the hydrocarbon is CH.

Answer:

40 mL

Explanation:

V2=P1V1/P2

You can check this by knowing that P and V at constant T have an inverse relationship. Hence, this is correct.
