Answer: A. are relatively far apart

Explanation:

Compressbility is the ability of compound to reduce in size when pressure is applied.

Gaseous state is a state in which the particles are loosely arranged and have a lot of space between them. Thus molecules can be easily compressed.

They have highest kinetic energy. This state has indefinite volume as well as shape.  The molecules in the gaseous state move faster with an increase in temperature as the kinetic energy increases with increase in temperature.

Thus most gases are easily compressed is that the molecules in a gas are in constant motion are relatively far apart.

The acceleration of a sprinter is 10 m/s2. The force exerted on the starting blocks is 650 N. What is the mass of the sprinter?
jek_recluse [69]

The relation between force, mass of an object and its acceleration is given by following equation

F = mass of object X acceleration

The unit of Force is Newton (N)

unit of acceleration is ms⁻²

unit of mass if Kg

[all these are SI units]

Mass of object =\frac{Force}{acceleration}

mass of sprinter =\frac{650}{10}=65kg

When 5.58g H2 react by the following balanced equation, 32.8g H2O are formed. What is the percent yield of the reaction? 2H2(g)+
8090 [49]

Answer:

D) 65.7%

Explanation:

Based on the reaction:

2H2(g)+O2(g)⟶2H2O(l)

<em>2 moles of hydrogen produce 2 moles of water assuming an excess of oxygen.</em>

<em />

To find percent yield of the reaction we need to find theoretical yield (The yield assuming all hydrogen reacts producing water). With theoretical yield and actual yield (32.8g H₂O) we can determine percent yield as 100 times the ratio between actual yield and theoretical yield.

<em>Theoretical yield:</em>

Moles of 5.58g H₂:

5.58g H₂ ₓ (1 mol / 2.016g) = 2.768 moles H₂

As 2 moles of H₂ produce 2 moles of H₂O, if all hydrogen reacts will produce 2.768 moles H₂O. In grams:

2.768 moles H₂O ₓ (18.015g / mol) =

49.86g H₂O is theoretical yield

<em>Percent yield:</em>

Percent yield = Actual yield / Theoretical yield ₓ 100

32.8g H₂O / 49.86g ₓ 100 =

65.7% is percent yield of the reaction

<h3>D) 65.7% </h3>

Show the calculation of the energy involved in condensation of 150 grams of steam at 100oC if the Heat of Vaporization for water
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer : The energy involved in condensation is, 339 kJ

Explanation :

Formula used :

q=m\times L

where,

q = heat required = ?

L = latent heat of vaporization of water = 2.26kJ/g

m = mass of water = 150 g

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

q=(150g)\times (2.26kJ/g)

q=339kJ

Therefore, the energy involved in condensation is, 339 kJ
