Apollo 17 astronauts eugene cernan and harrison schmitt collected the last samples of moon rocks to bring back to earth in 1972

The astronauts took measurements of the moon rocks using three categories not affected by gravity this is because the earth and moon have different forces of gravity which measurement did they not use?
A-Volume
B-Weight
C-Mass
D-Density

Answer:

The correct answer is B

Explanation:

This question seeks to test the difference between mass and weight.

Mass is a measurement of the amount of matter present in an object. While <u><em>weight is a measurement of the force of gravity pulling (the mass of) an object</em></u>. Hence, measuring the weight of the moon rocks in the moon might be a waste since the weight of the object on earth will produce a different value due to the difference in the force of gravity between the earth and the moon.

A 0.67 gram sample of chromium is reacted with sulfur. The resulting chromium sulfide has a mass of 1.2888 grams. What is the em
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

Cr₂S₃

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mass of chromium (Cr) = 0.67 g

Mass of chromium sulfide = 1.2888 g

Empirical formula =?

Next, we shall determine the mass of sulphur (S) in the compound. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass of chromium (Cr) = 0.67 g

Mass of chromium sulfide = 1.2888 g

Mass of sulphur (S) =?

Mass of S = (Mass of chromium sulfide) – (Mass of Cr)

Mass of S = 1.2888 – 0.67

Mass of S = 0.6188 g

Finally, we shall determine the empirical formula of the compound. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass of Cr = 0.67 g

Mass of S = 0.6188 g

Divide by their molar mass

Cr = 0.67 / 52 = 0.013

S = 0.6188 / 32 = 0.019

Divide by the smallest

Cr = 0.013 / 0.013 = 1

S = 0.019 / 0.013 = 1.46

Multiply by 2 to express in whole number

Cr = 1 × 2 = 2

S = 1.46 × 2 = 3

Therefore, the empirical formula of the compound is Cr₂S₃

Consider the partial equation. Br2 + NaF --&gt; Which best completes the chemical equation?
balandron [24]

Answer is (1) - no reaction.


<em>Explanation; </em>


Some of you may think this reaction as a single replacement reaction which gives NaBr + F₂ as products.


But, according to the reactivity of the halogens, reactivity decreases from up to bottom of the group. F is placed above Br. Hence, F is more reactive than Br. Hence, Br can't replace F.

Which of the following is true of an electrolytic cell? 
lina2011 [118]
The answer is A. An electrolytic cell is by definition a non-spontaneous chemical reaction that uses something like a battery to power it. The spontaneous counterpart is the voltaic cell.

What factors affect the rate of a chemical reaction?
Contact [7]

Answer:

The answer to your question is below

Explanation:

Factors that affect the rate of a chemical reaction

- Temperature        If the temperature increases the rate of reaction increases.

- Concentration     The reaction will move where there less concentration it could be to the reactants of products.

- Particle size         The lower the particle size the higher the rate of reaction.

- Catalyst                 Catalyzers accelerate the rate of reaction

- Pressure                The reaction will move where there are fewer molecules.
