Answer:

B = mass, height

Gravitational potential energy is a function of the mass ans the height of an object.

Explanation:

The formula for gravitational potential energy is

GPE = mgh

m = mass in kilogram

g = acceleration due to gravity

h = height in meter above the ground

Formula:

GP.E = mgh

Consider the following example:

A crane lifts a 75kg mass a height of 8 m. Calculate the gravitational potential energy gained by the mass:

Formula:

GP.E = mgh

Now we will put the values in formula.

g = 9.8 m/s²

GP.E = 75 Kg × 9.8 m/s²× 8 m

GP.E = 5880 Kg.m²/s²

Kg.m²/s² = j

GP.E = 5880 j

What mass of CO is needed to react completely with55.0 g of Fe2O3(s)+CO(g) yield Fe(s)+CO2(g)?

Katarina [22]

Answer:

28.9 g

Explanation:

We know that we will need a balanced equation with masses, moles, and molar masses of the compounds involved.

<em>Gather all the information in one place</em> with molar masses above the formulas and masses below them.

$M_{r}$ : 159.69 28.01

Fe₂O₃ + 3CO ⟶ 2Fe + 3CO₂

Mass/g: 55.0

1. Use the molar mass of Fe₂O₃ to calculate the moles of Fe₂O₃.

$\text{Moles of Fe$_{2}$O$_{3}$} =\text{55.0 g Fe$_{2}$O$_{3}$} \times \frac{\text{1 mol Fe$_{2}$O$_{3}$}}{\text{159.69 g Fe$_{2}$O$_{3}$}}= \text{0.3444 mol Fe$_{2}$O$_{3}$}$

2. Use the molar ratio of CO:Fe₂O₃ to calculate the moles of CO.

$\text{Moles of CO} = \text{0.3444 mol Fe$_{2}$O$_{3}$} \times \frac{\text{3 mol CO}}{\text{1 mol Fe$_{2}$O$_{3}$}}= \text{1.033 mol CO}$

3.Use the molar mass of CO to calculate the mass of CO.

$\text{Mass of CO} = \text{1.033 mol CO} \times \frac{\text{28.01 g CO} }{\text{1 mol CO}}= \textbf{28.9 g CO}$

Give an example of how you can conserve energy.

Archy [21]

Ok, my favorite is turning lights off when not in use OR changing out old lightbulbs that are more efficient. :)
