AfilCa [17]3 years ago

Answer:

Assume that the sack was initially close to the sea level. Its weight will increase even though its mass stays the same.

Explanation:

The weight of an object typically refers to the size of the planet's gravitational attraction (a force) on this object. That's not the same as the mass of the object. The weight of an object at a position depends on the size of the gravitational field there; on the other hand, the mass of the object is supposed to be same regardless of the location- as long as the object stays intact.

Let g denote the strength of the gravitational field at a certain point. If the mass of an object is m, its weight at that point will be m \cdot g.

Indeed, g \approx 9.81\; \rm N \cdot kg^{-1} on many places of the earth. However, this value is accurate only near the sea level. The equation for universal gravitation is a more general way for finding the strength of the gravitational field at an arbitrary height. Let G denote the constant of universal gravitation, and let M denote the mass of the earth. At a distance r from the center of the earth (where

\displaystyle g \approx \frac{G \cdot M}{r^2}.

The elevation of many places in Bhutan are significantly higher than that of many places in India. Therefore, a sack of potato in Bhutan will likely be further away from the center of the earth (larger r) compared to a sack of potato in India.

Note, that in the approximation, the value of g is (approximately, because the earth isn't perfectly spherical) inversely proportional to the distance from the center of the planet. The gravitational field strength

On the other hand, the weight of an object of fixed mass is proportional to the gravitational field strength. Therefore, the same bag of potatoes will have a smaller weight at most places in Bhutan compared to most places in India.

pychu [463]

Answer:

Increase

Explanation:

According to Gay-Lussac Law,

The pressure of given amount of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature at constant volume and number of moles.

Mathematical relationship:

P₁/T₁ = P₂/T₂

If the initial temperature and pressure is standard,

Pressure = 1 atm

Temperature = 273.15 K

then we increase the temperature to 400.0 K, The pressure will be,

1 atm / 273.15 K = P₂/400.0K

P₂ = 1 atm × 400.0 K / 273.15 K

P₂ = 400.0 atm. K /273.15 K

P₂ = 1.46 atm

Pressure is also increase from 1 atm to 1.46 atm.

What happens to reactants molecules when forming product molecules?
aleksley [76]
Reactant molecules are any substance that goes into a reaction. When forming product molecules, the reactant molecules combine and create a new molecule (i.e. the combination of methane and oxygen can make carbon dioxide and water).

Calculate the mass in micrograms of zinc oxalate the chemist has added to the flask. be sure your answer has the correct number
Vera_Pavlovna [14]
<span>A chemist adds 155.0ml of a 4.10 X 10^-5 mmol/L of a zinc oxalate (ZnC2O4)solution to a reaction flask. Calculate the mass in micrograms of zinc oxalate the chemist has added to the flask. 1mmol = 10^-3 mol Therefore 4.10*10^-5mmol = 4.10*10^-8mol molar mass ZnC2O4 = 65.39+(2*12.011)+(4*15.99) = 153.372g/mol You have 4.10*10^-8 mol/litre =153.372 * 4.10*10^-8 = 6.29*10^-6 grams / litre (* see below) But you have 155ml. Mass of ZnC2O4 = 155/1000*6.29*10^-6 g Mass is = 9.75*10^-7 grams 1µg = 10^-6 g You then have 9.75*10^-7/10^-6 = 0.975µg ZnC2O4 (*see below) at this point you could have said: 1µg = 10^-6 g therefore you have a solution of 6.29µg per litre, 155ml = 6.29*155/1000 = 0.975µg ZnC2O4</span>

If you wanted to protect water from freezing, which of the compounds below would accomplish this best. NaNO3, Mg(NO3)2, or Al(NO
Korvikt [17]
All of them are soluble salt.

First one dissociates into two ions.

The second one dissociates into 3 ions.

The third dissociate into 4 ions. therefore, Al(NO3)3
