Answer:

The interaction reaction of calcium oxide and water leads to the formation of calcium hydroxide, this reaction is exothermic, which indicates that energy is released.

CaO(s) + H2O ⇒ Ca(OH)2

Explanation:

Calcium oxide reacts violently with water, causing it to reach 90 C. It then forms calcium hydroxide, also called slaked lime. It is heated because it releases energy in the form of heat, because the new substance formed (slaked lime) has less internal energy than the original and this is released in the form of heat. As a general rule, acid and base solutions are exothermic.

Choose two different particles found in the air. Explain how they are different and how they are the same
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

Dust and smoke.

Explanation:

Dust and smoke are two different particles present in the air. Dust and smoke are different from one another due to their origin. Smoke formed from burning of materials while dust refers to the soil particles lifted by the wind due to their light weight. Dust and smoke are similar to each other due to their small in size, infinite number means uncountable and light weight.

A 2 kg cat is stuck in a tree 10 m above the ground. How much GPE does it have?
Dovator [93]

Answer:

196J, but C. at 200 J comes close.

Explanation:

Potential energy due to gravity is given by:

PEgrav = mass • g • height

where g is the acceleration due to gravity.  We'll use 9.8 N/kg (on Earth).

PEgrav = mass • g • height

PEgrav = (2 kg) • (9.8 N/kg) • (10 m)

PEgrav = 196 N*m

1 N*m = 1 Joule

PEgrav = 196 J

C. at 200 J comes close.  The solution probably used a value of g equal to 10 N/kg)
