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.

0.2640 g of sodium oxalate is dissolved in a flask and requires 30.74 mL of potassium
Free_Kalibri [48]

Moles of potassium permanganate = 0.0008

<h3>Further explanation  </h3>

Titration is a procedure for determining the concentration of a solution by reacting with another solution which is known to be concentrated (usually a standard solution). Determination of the endpoint/equivalence point of the reaction can use indicators according to the appropriate pH range  

Reaction

5Na2C2O4(aq) + 2KMnO4(aq) + 8H2SO4(aq) ---> 2MnSO4(aq) + K2SO4(aq) + 5Na2SO4(aq) +  10CO2(g) + 8H2O(1)

The end point ⇒titrant and analyte moles equal

titrant : potassium  permanganate-KMnO4

analyte : sodium oxalate - Na2C2O4

so moles of KMnO4 = moles of Na2C2O4

moles of Na2C2O4(mass = 0.2640 g, MW=134 g/mol) :

\tt mol=\dfrac{mass}{MW}\\\\mol=\dfrac{0.264}{134 g/mol}\\\\mol=0.002

From equation, mol ratio  Na2C2O4 : KMnO4 = 5 : 2, so mol KMnO4 :

\tt \dfrac{2}{5}\times 0.002=0.0008

A sample of PCl5(g) was placed in an otherwise empty flask at an initial pressure of 0.500 atm and a temperature above 500 K. Ov
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

Kp = 0.81666

Explanation:

Pressure of PCl₅ = 0.500 atm

Considering the ICE table for the equilibrium as:

                     PCl₅ (g)      ⇔          PCl₃ (g) +       Cl₂ (g)

t = o               0.500

t = eq                -x                             x                      x

--------------------------------------------- --------------------------

Moles at eq: 0.500-x                       x                      x

       

Given the pressure of PCl₅ at equilibrium = 0.150 atm

Thus, 0.500 - x = 0.150

x = 0.350 atm

The expression for the equilibrium constant is:

K_p=\frac {P_{PCl_3}P_{[Cl_2}}{P_{PCl_5}}  

So,

K_p=\frac{x^2}{0.500-x}  

x = 0.350 atm

Thus,

K_p=\frac{{0.350}^2}{0.500-0.350}  

<u>Thus, Kp = 0.81666</u>
