"20 J" is the "Potential Energy" of "vase" on the table.

<u>Explanation</u>:

The body possess some energy according to the position of the object that is the when an object is placed at a height it stores some energy it is called "Potential Energy".

Formula used to calculate the "Potential Energy" is $m\times g \times h$

Where, "m" is mass of vase is given that 2 kg, "g" is acceleration due to gravity is $10 m/s^2$ and "h" is height of the object where it placed is 1 m.

Substitute the given values in the formula,

Potential energy of the vase = $2\times10\times1$

Potential energy of the vase = 20 J

Explain, in terms of subatomic particles, why the radius of a chloride ion is larger than the radius of a chlorine atom.

den301095 [7]

The radius of a chlorine ion is larger than the radius of a chlorine atom because the effective nuclear charge decreases, therefore the inward force decreases, increasing the ionic radius.

What is the reaction scheme for the experiment of synthesis of methyl salicylate

soldier1979 [14.2K]

The methyl salicylate (wintergreen oil) is the methyl ester of salicylic acid.

Methyl salicylate is produced by esterifying salicylic acid with methanol, the reaction scheme is attached to this answer. In the past, it was commonly distilled from the twigs of Betula lenta (sweet birch) and Gaultheria procumbens (eastern teaberry or wintergreen).
