You fill two balloons with gas, one with hydrogen and one with carbon dioxide. You hold a match to each balloon. The hydrogen ba

lloon explodes in a small fireball. The carbon dioxide balloon pops where the match burns it, but nothing else happens. How can you explain this?
A. Hydrogen contains chemical energy and carbon dioxide does not.
B. Hydrogen is a reactant and carbon dioxide is a product.
C. The carbon dioxide smothered the match before it could start a fire.
D. The match did not have enough activation energy to light the carbon dioxide.
E. Hydrogen was able to participate in an exergonic reaction and carbon dioxide couldn’t.

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.

A flea jumps straight up to a maximum height of 0.400 m . what is its initial velocity v0 as it leaves the ground?
timama [110]

For an object`s motion, the Kinematic equation is,

v^2=v_{0}^2+2ah

Here, v is the final velocity and h is stands for the height of the object and a is the acceleration of the object.

As according to question,

v=0m/s,a=g-9.8 m/s^2 and h = 0.400 m

Thus, putting these values in above equation, we get

0= v_{0}^2 -2gh

or

v_{0} =\sqrt{2 \times 9.8 \times 0.400 }

v_{0} = 2.8 m/s

Therefore, initial velocity is 2.8 m/s

One statement of the first law of thermodynamics is that:___________.
blagie [28]

Answer:

a. the amount of work done on a system is dependent of pathway

Explanation:

The first law of thermodynamics states that the change in internal energy of a system equals the net heat transfer into the system minus the net work done by the system.

ΔU = Q - W

Where;

Q, the net heat transfer into the system depends on the pathway

W, the net work done by the system also depends on the pathway

But, ΔU, the change in internal energy is independent of pathway

Therefore, the correct option is "A"

a. the amount of work done on a system is dependent of pathway
