D.  The atomic mass in amu is basically the number or nuclei since the mass of the electrons is negligible.  For a given atom (element) the number of protons is fixed.  Say the element has 10 protons.  If the atomic weight is 14 atomic mass units (amu), you know that there are 4 neutrons, since both neutrons and protons are 1 amu each and there are 10 protons

Given the thermochemical equations X2+3Y2⟶2XY3ΔH1=−370 kJ X2+2Z2⟶2XZ2ΔH2=−120 kJ 2Y2+Z2⟶2Y2ZΔH3=−270 kJ Calculate the change in
Alchen [17]

Answer : The change in enthalpy of the reaction is, -310 kJ

According to Hess’s law of constant heat summation, the heat absorbed or evolved in a given chemical equation is the same whether the process occurs in one step or several steps.

According to this law, the chemical equation can be treated as ordinary algebraic expression and can be added or subtracted to yield the required equation. That means the enthalpy change of the overall reaction is the sum of the enthalpy changes of the intermediate reactions.

The given main reaction is,

4XY_3+7Z_2\rightarrow 6Y_2Z+4XZ_2    \Delta H=?

The intermediate balanced chemical reaction will be,

(1) X_2+3Y_2\rightarrow 2XY_3     \Delta H_1=-370kJ

(2) X_2+2Z_2\rightarrow 2XZ_2    \Delta H_2=-120kJ

(3) 2Y_2+Z_2\rightarrow 2Y_2Z    \Delta H_3=-270kJ

Now we will reverse the reaction 1 and multiply reaction 1 by 2, reaction 2 by 2 and reaction 3 by 3 then adding all the equations, we get :

(1) 4XY_3\rightarrow 2X_2+6Y_2     \Delta H_1=2\times (+370kJ)=740kJ

(2) 2X_2+4Z_2\rightarrow 4XZ_2    \Delta H_2=2\times (-120kJ)=-240kJ

(3) 6Y_2+3Z_2\rightarrow 6Y_2Z    \Delta H_3=3\times (-270kJ)=-810kJ

The expression for enthalpy of formation of CH_4 will be,

\Delta H=\Delta H_1+\Delta H_2+\Delta H_3

\Delta H=(+740kJ)+(-240kJ)+(-810kJ)

\Delta H=-310kJ

Therefore, the change in enthalpy of the reaction is, -310 kJ

From the top of the engineering building, you throw a ball vertically upward. the ball strikes the ground 4.00 s later. the engi
anastassius [24]
Equations of the vertical launch:

Vf = Vo - gt

y = yo + Vo*t - gt^2 / 2

Here yo = 35.0m
Vo is unknown
y final = 0
t = 4.00 s
and I will approximate g to 10m/s^2

=> 0 = 35.0 + Vo * 4 - 5 * (4.00)^2 => Vo = [-35 + 5*16] / 4 = - 45 / 4 = -11.25 m/s

The negative sign is due to the fact that the initial velocity is upwards and we assumed that the direction downwards was positive when used g = 10m/s^2.

Answer: 11.25 m/s

A 70 kg driver gets into an empty taptap to start the day's work. The springs compress 2.3×10−2 m . What is the effective spring
ANEK [815]

Answer:

29856.521 N/m

Explanation:

m=Mass\ of\ diver=70\ kg\\x=Length\ compressed\ by\ spring=2.3\times 10^{-2}\ m\\a=Acceleration\ due\ to\ gravity=9.81\ m/s^2\\F=Force\ exerted\ by\ diver=m\times a\\\Rightarrow F=70\times 9.81\\\Rightarrow F=686.7\ N\\k=spring\ constant\\F=k\times x\\\Rightarrow k=\frac {F}{x}\\\Rightarrow k=\frac {686.7}{2.3\times 10^{-2}}\\\therefore k=29856.521\ N/m
