Answer:
Presence of impurities in the product.
Explanation:
Laboratory experience has shown that the percent yield obtained from a reaction may be greater than 100% if the product obtained from the reaction contains impurities that causes its mass to be greater than it actually would be if the product was pure.
A typical impurity that may be present in a product is the solvent used. This can be removed by evaporation of the solvent or by washing the product thoroughly.
Reaction of solid products with gases may also increase the percentage yield above 100%.
A particle is defined as a small potion of matter. From its definition, then a single atom can be considered as an atom. This is because an atom is the smallest unit of matter. Also, a molecule can be considered as a particles since it is a small portion of a certain object.
Given the data, the correct statement is
Even though for a majority of the race they accelerated at the same rate, Beverly won because her initial acceleration was greater than Carl’s
<h3>What is acceleration? </h3>
This is defined as the rate of change of velocity which time. It is expressed as
a = (v – u) / t
Where
- a is the acceleration
- v is the final velocity
- u is the initial velocity
- t is the time
<h3>How to determine the initial acceleration of Beverly</h3>
- Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s
- Final velocity (v) = 15 m/s
- Time (t) = 10 s
- Initial acceleration (a₁) =?
a₁ = (v – u) / t
a₁ = (15 – 0) / 10
a₁ = 1.5 m/s²
<h3>How to determine the final acceleration of Beverly</h3>
- Initial velocity (u) = 15 m/s
- Final velocity (v) = 35 m/s
- Time (t) = 50 - 10 = 40 s
- Final acceleration (a₂) =?
a₂ = (v – u) / t
a₂ = (35 – 15) / 40
a₂ = 0.5 m/s²
<h3>How to determine the initial acceleration of Carl</h3>
- Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s
- Final velocity (v) = 10 m/s
- Time (t) = 10 s
- Initial acceleration (a₁) =?
a₁ = (v – u) / t
a₁ = (10 – 0) / 10
a₁ = 1 m/s²
<h3>How to determine the final acceleration of Carl</h3>
- Initial velocity (u) = 10 m/s
- Final velocity (v) = 30 m/s
- Time (t) = 50 - 10 = 40 s
- Final acceleration (a₂) =?
a₂ = (v – u) / t
a₂ = (30 – 10) / 40
a₂ = 0.5 m/s²
SUMMARY
- Initial acceleration of Beverly = 1.5 m/s²
- Final acceleration of Beverly = 0.5 m/s²
- Initial acceleration of Carl = 1 m/s²
- Final acceleration of Carl = 0.5 m/s²
From the above calculations, we can see that Beverly's initial acceleration is higher than that of Carl's and their final acceleration is the same.
Therefore, the correct answer to the question is:
Even though for a majority of the race they accelerated at the same rate, Beverly won because her initial acceleration was greater than Carl’s
