Answer:E. Hydrogen was able to participate in an exergonic reaction and carbon dioxide couldn't

Explanation:

An exergonic reaction releases energy to the environment. The combustion of hydrogen contained in the balloon is a chemical reaction. The reaction can take place because hydrogen combines with oxygen in air, that is, the gas is combustible. CO2 does not support combustion, it does not combine with oxygen in air and it is also denser than air, hence does not participate in the exergonic reaction.

BARSIC [14]

Answer:

B= 55.6×10^(-7) Tesla

Explanation:

B= μoI/(2πr)

B:  magnetic field strength

μo: permeability of free space and is equal to  4π×10^(-7) T.m/A

r: distance from the wire

I : current in the wire

B= (4π×10^(-7)×125)/(2π×4.5)

B= 55.6×10^(-7) Tesla

10. Ahmad drives 60 km from his house to the petrol station in a car moving at a constant speed of
djyliett [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Average speed is distance traveled over time taken to do so

home to station

d = 60 km

t = 60 km/60 km/hr = 1 hr

station to shop

d = 60 km

t = 60 km / 120 km/hr = ½ hr

speed

s = (60 + 60) / (1 + ½) = 120/1.5 = 80 km/h
