Particles of the substance have the most kinetic energy when the substance is(a)1. A gas. The part of the graph that represents where the substance has the least amount of potential energy is labeled(b)1. Solid.

Gas molecules have the highest average velocities among the three states of matter so gas has the highest kinetic energy. During freezing, a substance loses a lot of potential energy so solid has the least potential energy.

How does water’s ability to form hydrogen bonds explain why ice is less dense than liquid water?

Karolina [17]

Answer:

As water freezes, a crystalline structure preserved by hydrogen bonding is formed by water molecules. Less dense than liquid water is solid water, or ice. Ice is less dense than water since molecules are pulled farther apart by the direction of hydrogen bonds, which decreases density.

Answer:

Multiple organisms may be affected by the loss of a plant species.

Explanation:

Organisms that feed directly off the lost plant will be affected, and because of that, organisms that feed off those organisms will be affected. This could also affect other organisms like parasites. Other plant species may be affected from the loss of a competitive species. This could affect organisms that feed off that plant, and the organisms that feed off those organisms.

How many moles of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen are present in a 100-g sample of ascorbic acid?

Y_Kistochka [10]

There are:

3.41 moles of C

4.54 moles of H

3.40 moles of O.

Why?

To solve the problem, the first thing that we need to do is to write the chemical formula of the ascorbic acid.

$C_{6}H_{8}O_{6}$

Now, we know that there are 100 grams of the compound, so, the masses of each element will represent the percent in the compound.

We have that:

$C_{6}=12.0107g*6=72.08g\\\\H_{8}=1.008g*8=8.064g\\\\O_{6}=15.999g*6=95.994g\\\\C_{6}H_{8}O_{6}=72.08g+8.064g+95.994g=176.138g$

To know the percent of each element, we need to to the following:

$C=\frac{72.08g}{176.138g}*100=0.409*100=40.92(percent)\\\\H=\frac{8.064g}{176.138g}*100=4.58(percent)\\\\O=\frac{95.994}{176.138g}*100=54.49(percent)$

So, we know that for the 100 grams of the compound, there are:

40.92 grams of C

4.58 grams of H

54.49 grams of O

We know the molecular masses of each element:

$C=12.0107\frac{g}{mol}\\\\H=1.008\frac{g}{mol}\\\\O=15.999\frac{g}{mol}{mol}$

Now, to calculate the number of moles of each element, we need to divide the mass of each element by the molecular mass of each element:

$C=\frac{40.92g}{12.010\frac{g}{mol}}=3.41mol\\\\H=\frac{4.58g}{1.008\frac{g}{mol}}=4.54mol\\\\O=\frac{54.49g}{15.999\frac{g}{mol}}=3.40mol$

Hence, we have that there are 3.41 moles of C, 4.54 moles of H, and 3.40 moles of O.

Have a nice day!

Thomas thinks that acceleration means “speeding up.” Explain why this is incorrect.

klemol [59]

Answer:

Explanation:

Thomas is incorrect because acceleration is a vector quantity that is defined as the rate at which an object changes its velocity. An object is accelerating if it is changing its velocity.
