The weight of an object is the product of its mass, m, and the acceleration of gravity, g (where g=9.8 m/s2). If an object’s mas

s is m=10. kg, what is its weight?
Express the weight to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.

Weight  = mass x gravitational acceleration = mg

m = 10kg
g = 9.8 m/s^2

So, weight =  10 x 9.8  = 98 Kg-m/s^2

The weight of the object is \boxed{98{\text{ N}}} if its mass is 10 kg.

Further Explanation:

Weight of any substance is related to the force that acts on it. This force can either be due to gravity or by the reaction force. Most of the time, weight is defined as the force experienced by an object due to gravity and is the product of mass and acceleration due to gravity. It is denoted by W. Since weight is a force, its units are similar to that of force. Its SI unit is Newton (N) or kilogram meter per second \left( {{\text{kg}} \cdot {\text{m/}}{{\text{s}}^2}} \right).

The formula to calculate the weight of an object is as follows:

{\text{W}} = {\text{mg}}       ...... (1)                                                                      

Here,

W is the weight of the object.

m is the mass of the object.

g is the acceleration due to gravity.

The mass of the object is 10 kg.

The acceleration due to gravity is 9.8{\text{ m/}}{{\text{s}}^2}.

Substitute these values in equation (1).

\begin{aligned}{\text{W}}&= \left({10{\text{ kg}}} \right)\left( {9.8{\text{ m/}}{{\text{s}}^2}} \right)\\&= 98{\text{ kg}} \cdot {\text{m/}}{{\text{s}}^2}\\\end{aligned}

Since 1{\text{ kg}} \cdot {\text{m/}}{{\text{s}}^2} is equal to 1 N, the weight of the object can also be written as 98 N.

​If a bag of peas weighs 454 grams, how many peas would be in the bag?
OverLord2011 [107]

​In a bag of peas that weighs 454 grams, there are between 1261 and 4540 peas.

The average pea weighs between 0.1 and 0.36 grams.

If we take the lower value (0.1 g/pea), the number of peas in 454 g is:

454 g \times \frac{1pea}{0.1 g} = 4540pea

If we take the higher value (0.36 g/pea), the number of peas in 454 g is:

454 g \times \frac{1pea}{0.36 g} \approx  1261pea

​In a bag of peas that weighs 454 grams, there are between 1261 and 4540 peas.

Which reaction most accurately represents the dissociation of nitrous acid (hno2) in water?
yanalaym [24]

When nitrous acid (HNO₂) dissociates in water (H₂O), the reaction that best captures this process is:

                HNO₂ (aq.) + H₂O ↔  H₃O⁺ (aq.) + NO₂⁻ (aq.)

How does one know about HNO₂?

  • The chemical designation for nitrous acid is HNO₂, and it is a monoprotic acid. Three elements—hydrogen(H), oxygen(O), and nitrogen(N), all compose it.
  • It is highly fragile in nature and only occurs in solutions.
  • It is employed to convert amines into diazonium salts.

Is HNO₂ a basic or an acid?

Acidity is assigned to nitrous acid (HNO₂). Once dissolved in water, it gives out H+ ions. Acid is a chemical that produces H+ ions in a water-based solution or gives the protons to other molecules.

Thus, HNO₂ is acid because it causes a mixture of water to contain H+ ions. In a 10 mM concentration, it possesses a pH of 2.67.

250 ml of seawater and we inked each molecule with pink color, then we mixed this 250 ml in the ocean. After mixing you took 250
Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

9.77 × 10⁹ molecules

Explanation:

Since the density of water is 1 g/cm³ = 1000 g/L

So, we find the mass of sea water in 250 mL = 0.250 L

We know density = mass/volume

mass = density × volume = 1000 g/L × 0.250 L = 250 g

Now we calculate the number of moles of sea water in 250 g, 250 mL of sea water.

number of moles n = mass of sea water,m/molar mass of water, M

molar mass of water, M = 18 g/moL

n = m/M = 250 g/18 g/mol = 13.89 mol

We now calculate the number of molecules present in the 250 mL of sea water.

n = N/N' where N = number of molecules, N' = avogadro's number = 6.022 × 10²³/mol

So,N =nN' = 13.89 mol × 6.022 × 10²³/mol = 8.36 × 10²⁴ molecules

Now, the volume of the ocean is 1.337 × 10¹⁸ m³ = 1.337 × 10¹⁵ L

Since the 250 mL sea water is mixed with the ocean, the number of molecules per liter is 8.36 × 10²⁴ molecules/1.337 × 10¹⁵ L = 6.25 × 10⁹ molecules/L

If we now take 250 mL out of the ocean, the number of molecules in this 250 mL will be 6.25 × 10⁹ molecules/L × 250 mL =  6.25 × 10⁹ molecules/L × 0.250 L = 9.77 × 10⁹ molecules.

So, we have 9.77 × 10⁹ molecules of pink molecules in the 250 mL after mixing in the ocean.

A galvanic cell consists of one half-cell that contains Ag(s) and Ag+(aq), and one half-cell that contains Cu(s) and Cu2+(aq). W
Agata [3.3K]

Answer : The 'Ag' is produced at the cathode electrode and 'Cu' is produced at anode electrode under standard conditions.

Explanation :

Galvanic cell : It is defined as a device which is used for the conversion of the chemical energy produces in a redox reaction into the electrical energy. It is also known as the voltaic cell or electrochemical cell.

In the galvanic cell, the oxidation occurs at an anode which is a negative electrode and the reduction occurs at the cathode which is a positive electrode.

We are taking the value of standard reduction potential form the standard table.

E^0_{[Ag^{+}/Ag]}=+0.80V

E^0_{[Cu^{2+}/Cu]}=+0.34V

In this cell, the component that has lower standard reduction potential gets oxidized and that is added to the anode electrode. The second forms the cathode electrode.

The balanced two-half reactions will be,

Oxidation half reaction (Anode) : Cu(s)\rightarrow Cu^{2+}(aq)+2e^-

Reduction half reaction (Cathode) : Ag^{+}(aq)+e^-\rightarrow Ag(s)

Thus the overall reaction will be,

Cu(s)+2Ag^{+}(aq)\rightarrow Cu^{2+}(aq)+2Ag(s)

From this we conclude that, 'Ag' is produced at the cathode electrode and 'Cu' is produced at anode electrode under standard conditions.

Hence, the 'Ag' is produced at the cathode electrode and 'Cu' is produced at anode electrode under standard conditions.
