Which of the following best describes weight?

Chemistry
1 answer:
hodyreva [135]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

What best describes the concept of weight is the force on an object due to its mass and gravity.

Explanation:

Weight is the force with which gravity pulls a body or object towards the earth. It is a physical unit that involves both the force of gravity and the mass that an object has.

In general, the terms mass and weight are different, being the mass a characteristic of the body -without influence of other factors- and the weight is the force with which the gravity pushes the mass of that same body.

Regarding the other options:

  • <em>The amount of space an object takes up , corresponds to the volume of a body.</em>
  • <em>The amount of matter in an object , corresponds to the mass.</em>
  • <em>The force on an object due to its speed and location, is related to the movement of a body.</em>

Which of the following trends can be identified on the periodic table?
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

D) atomic radii increase from top to bottom of a group

Explanation:

Atomic radii trend along group:

As we move down the group atomic radii increased with increase of atomic number. The addition of electron in next level cause the atomic radii to increased. The hold of nucleus on valance shell become weaker because of shielding of electrons thus size of atom increased.

As the size of atom increases the ionization energy from top to bottom also  decreases because it becomes easier to remove the electron because of less nuclear attraction and as more electrons are added the outer electrons becomes more shielded and away from nucleus.

Other options are incorrect because,

A) atomic radii increase from left to right across the period

Correct = atomic radii decreases from left to right across the period

B) ionization energy increases from top to bottom within a family

Correct =  ionization energy decreases from top to bottom within a family

C) electronegativity decreases from left to right across a period

Correct = electronegativity increases from left to right across a period

A mixture of ethyl acetate vapour and air has a relative saturation of 50% at 303 K and a total pressure of 100 kPa. If the vapo
AURORKA [14]

Answer : The correct option is, (b) 0.087

Explanation :

The formula used for relative saturation is:

\text{Relative saturation}=\frac{P_A}{P_A^o}

where,

P_A = partial pressure of ethyl acetate

P_A^o = vapor pressure of ethyl acetate

Given:

Relative saturation = 50 % = 0.5

Vapor pressure of ethyl acetate = 16 kPa

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

0.5=\frac{P_A}{16kPa}

P_A=8kPa

Now we have to calculate the molar saturation.

The formula used for molar saturation is:

\text{Molar saturation}=\frac{P_{vapor}}{P_{\text{vapor free}}}

and,

P(vapor free) = Total pressure - Vapor pressure

P(vapor) = P_A = 8 kPa

So,

P(vapor free) = 100 kPa - 8 kPa = 92 kPa

The molar saturation will be:

\text{Molar saturation}=\frac{P_{vapor}}{P_{\text{vapor free}}}

\text{Molar saturation}=\frac{8kPa}{92kPa}=0.087

Therefore, the molar saturation is 0.087
