Answer:

<u>Distance:</u> 9 km

<u>Displacement:</u> 3 km

Explanation:

Distance takes into account the entire path that, in this case, Preston walked, while displacement, considers only the difference between the initial and final point.

In the picture, the different paths represent as a whole the distance he covered (5+3+1), whereas, the start and final point represent displacement (3-0)

he decomposition of acetaldehyde, CH3CHO, was determined to be a second order reaction with a rate constant of 0.0771 M-1 s-1. I
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

The concentration is [-1 + sqrt(1+0.11t)]/0.1542 M

Explanation:

Let the concentration of CH3CHO after selected reaction times be y

Rate = Ky^2 = change in concentration of CH3CHO/time

K = 0.0771 M^-1 s^-1

Change in concentration of CH3CHO = 0.358 - y

0.0771y^2 = 0.358-y/t

0.0771ty^2 = 0.358 - y

0.0771ty^2 + y - 0.358 = 0

The value of y must be positive and is obtained in terms of t using the quadratic formula

y = [-1 + sqrt(1^2 -4(0.0771t)(-0.358)]/2(0.0771) = [-1 + sqrt(1+0.11t)]/0.1542 M

Balance <br> Na2O+H2O → NaOH
AleksAgata [21]
Answer:
Na2O+H2O=2NaOH
Step by step exp.
Given:
Equation Na2O+H2O=NaOH
To find: Balance the equation
Solution:
Taking LHS of the equation
LHS=Na2O+H2O
There is 2 sodium, 2 oxygen,& 2 hydrogen
To balance the equation we have equal number of atom so we multply 2 to the RHS=2NaOH
There fore the equation form is
Na2O+H2O=2NaOH

What causes metal to emit light?​
Flauer [41]
Heating an atom excites its electrons and they jump to higher energy levels. When the electrons return to lower energy levels, they emit energy in the form of light. ... Every element has a different number of electrons and a different set of energy levels. Thus, each element emits its own set of colours.
