Answer:

The mechanical energy is converted to potential energy while the kinetic energy is zero

Explanation:

mechanical energy is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy. It is the energy associated with the motion and position of an object. The total mechanical energy is the sum of these two forms of energy.

The Law of Conservation of Energy: Energy cannot be created or destroyed, but is merely changed from one form into another. This means that potential energy can become kinetic energy, or vice versa, but energy cannot “disappear”.

The mechanical energy is converted to potential energy while the kinetic energy is zero

Why does helium have more spectral lines than hydrogen?
Lynna [10]

<span>This is because Helium has two valence electrons compared to Hydrogen which has only one. Helium has more energy levels for an electron to jump thus more spectral lines to occur. The spectral lines relating to each change of energy level would be more grouped together and hence the greater chance of them falling in the visible range.</span>

In a chemical reaction, molecules of hydrogen gas (H2) react with molecules of oxygen gas (O2) in a sealed reaction chamber to p
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

Option (B) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that the molecules of hydrogen gas (H_2) react with molecules of oxygen gas (O_2) in a sealed reaction chamber to produce water (H_2O).

The governing equation for the reaction is

2H_2 +O_2 \rightarrow 2H_2O

From the given, the only fact that can be observed that 2 moles of H_2 and 1 mole of O_2 reacts to produce 2 moles of H_2O.

As the mass of 1 mole of H_2 = 2 grams ... (i)

The mass of 1 mole of O_2 = 32 grams ...(ii)

The mass of 1 mole of H_2O = 18 grams (iii)

Now, the mass of the reactant = Mass of 2 moles of H_2 + mass 1 mole of  O_2

= 2 \times 2 + 32  [ using equations (i) and (ii)]

=4+32 = 36 grams.

Mass of the product = Mass of 2 moles of H_2O

=2\times 18 [ using equations (iii)]

=36 grams

As the mass of reactants = mass of the product.

So, mass is conserved.

Hence, option (B) is correct.
