A piece of wood that floats on water has a mass of 0.0175 kg. A lead weight is tied to the wood, and the apparent mass with the

crimeas [40]

Answer:

Specific gravity is 0.56

Explanation:

We know that

mass of water displaced by the wood is, m1( apparent mass when wood in air and lead is submerged in water) - m2(the apparent mass when wood and lead both are submerged in water)

= 0.0765 - 0.0452 = 0.0313 Kg

So the specific gravity of the wood is, = mass of wood / mass of water displaced by the wood

= 0.0175/0.0313

=0.56

A student pushes a 12.0 kg box with a horizontal force of 20 N. The friction force on the box is 9.0 N. Which of the following i

Hoochie [10]

The acceleration of the box is approximately $1 m/s^2$

Explanation:

According to Newton's second law of motion, the net force acting on the box is equal to the product between its mass and its acceleration:

$\sum F = ma$

where

$\sum F$ is the net force

m = 12.0 kg is the mass of the box

a is the acceleration

The net force can be written as

$\sum F = F_a - F_f$

where

$F_a = 20 N$ is the applied forward force

$F_f=9.0 N$ is the friction force

Combining the two equations,

$F_a-F_f=ma$

And solving for the acceleration,

$a=\frac{F_a-F_f}{m}=\frac{20-9}{12}=0.9 m/s^2\sim 1 m/s^2$

If 2.40 g of KNO3 reacts with sufficient sulfur (S8) and carbon (C), how much P-V work will the gases do against an external pre

creativ13 [48]

Answer:

$-112.876J$

Explanation:

In order to solve this question, we would need to incorporate Stoichiometry, which involves using relationships between reactants and/or products in a chemical reaction to determine desired quantitative data.

Here's a balanced equation for the reaction:

$16KNO_3(s) + 24C(s) + S_8(s) \to 24CO_2(g) + 8N_2(g) + 8K_2S(s)$

Let us define $P - V$ work as;

$w_{pv} = - P_{external} \triangle Volume$

where $\triangle (Volume) = (V_{final} - V_{initial})$

External pressure is given as $1.00$ $atm$ , therefore the work solely depends on the change in volume and since the reactants are solids, none of the reactants contribute to the volume. Hence, $V_i = 0.$

To find the volume of the products, we need to first find the amount of moles of the product made from $2.40_gKNO_3,$ using the molar mass of $KNO_3$ which is 101.1032 g/mol
