Oil is sucked up through wide floating heads and pumped into storage tanks. Although suction skimmers are generally very efficient, one disadvantage is that they are vulnerable to becoming clogged by debris and ice and require constant skilled observation.

In your own words, please describe the difference between a complete ionic equation and a net ionic equation.
beks73 [17]

Explanation:

In the molecular equation for a reaction, all of the reactants and products are represented as neutral molecules (even soluble ionic compounds and strong acids). In the complete ionic equation, soluble ionic compounds and strong acids are rewritten as dissociated ions.

The net ionic equation is a chemical equation for a reaction that lists only those species participating in the reaction. The net ionic equation is commonly used in acid-base neutralization reactions, double displacement reactions, and redox reactions.

Select the correct answer. Two charged objects, A and B, exert an electric force on each other. What happens if the distance bet
VikaD [51]

Answer:

The electric force between them decreases

Explanation:

The force between two charged particle is given by :

F=\dfrac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}

Where

r is the distance between charges

If the distance between the charges is increased, the electric force gets decreased as there is an inverse relation between force and distance.

Hence, the correct option is (c) "The electric force between them decreases"

A potential energy diagram is shown.
Vesna [10]

Answer:

25kJ

Explanation:

Given the initial energy to be 30kJ

The energy change from the initial energy to the peak energy = (65-30) kJ

= 35kJ

since the second energy change was a drop in energy it is regarded negative

= (55-65)

= -10kJ

Therefore total energy change

= (35-10)kJ

= 25kJ
