The low vapor pressure of water preventing bodies of water from dying out.
Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
When a system is open then there will be exchange of energy between the system and surrounding.
Whereas when a system is closed then there will be no exchange of energy, that is, thermal energy will not flow into the atmosphere.
Thus, we can conclude that a sealed calorimeter is a closed system because thermal energy is not transferred to the environment.
Answer: Mechanical energy depends on the motion or position of an object.
Explanation:
Mechanical energy is the energy that is possessed by an object due to its motion or due to its position. Mechanical energy can be either kinetic energy (energy of motion) or potential energy (stored energy of position).
Empirical formula is the simplest ratio of whole numbers of components in a compound
molecular formula is the actual ratio of components in a compound .
the molecular formula for the compounds given are as follows
ethyne - C₂H₂
ethene - C₂H₄
ethane - C₂H₆
methane - CH₄
the actual ratios of the elements simplified ratio
C : H C : H
ethyne 2:2 1:1
ethene 2:4 1:2
ethane 2:6 1:3
methane 1:4 1:4
the only compound where the actual ratio is equal to the simplified ratio is methane
therefore in methane molecular formula CH₄ is the same as empirical formula CH₄
