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.

stira [4]
To solve the problem you must first know that by keeping the linear moment P1 = P2. You must find P1 from the system and equal it to P2 of the system, from that equation you clear the final velocity 1. Which will result in V1f = 60.16 cm / s to the north.I attach the solution.

After a projectile is fired into the air, what is the magnitude of the acceleration
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer: Option A;  9.8 m/s^2

Explanation:

When an object is in the air, and there is no air resistance acting on the object, the only force that will act on the object is the gravitational force (on the vertical axis).

Then, if the only force acting on the object is the gravitational force, the acceleration of the object will be equal to the gravitational acceleration.

We know that the gravitational acceleration is equal to:

g = 9.8m/s^2

Then the acceleration on the vertical axis will be equal to:

a(t) = 9.8m/s^2

The correct option is the first one:

A. 9.8 m/s^2

Determine the frequency of a sound wave if it has a speed of 350 m/s and a wavelength of 3.80 m.
Eva8 [605]
Since we have , v=f×lambda (wavelength). Where v equals 350m/s and wavelength equals 3.80. so it will become f = v/lambda=350/3.80=92.1052Hz

When the temperature of ice-cold water is increased slightly, does it undergo a net expansion or net contraction?
miss Akunina [59]

From the freezing temperature up to about 4°C (39°F) the water CONTRACTS.  That is, it becomes MORE dense.  I think I read that water is the ONLY known substance whose solid phase floats in its liquid phase.  That's why the cubes float in your soda and bergs float in the ocean.  And if weren't so, then life on Earth would not be possible !  Oceans and lakes would freeze from the bottom up, ONE TIME, and then never thaw again.
