Answer:

B) electrons transferred from sphere to rod.

(2) 1.248 x 10¹¹ electrons were transferred

Explanation:

Given;

initial charge on the plastic rod, q₁ = 15nC

final charge on the plastic rod, q₂ = - 5nC

let the charge acquired by the plastic rod = q

q + 15nC = -5nC

q = -5nC - 15nC

q = -20 nC

Thus, the plastic rod acquired excess negative charge from the metal sphere.

Hence, electrons transferred from sphere to rod

B) electrons transferred from sphere to rod.

2) How many charged particles were transferred?

1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹ C = 1 electron

20 x 10⁻⁹ C = ?

= 1.248 x 10¹¹ electrons

Thus,1.248 x 10¹¹ electrons were transferred

A solution containing 10.0 g of an unknown liquid and 90.0 g water has a freezing point of -3.33 °C. Given Kf = 1.86 °C/m for wa

Fantom [35]

Answer:

62.06 g/mol

Explanation:

We are given that a solution containing 10 g of an unknown liquid and 90 g

Given mass of solute = $W_B$ =10 g

Given mass of solvent= $W_A$ =90 g

$k_f=1.86^{\circ}C/m$

Freezing point of solution =-3.33 $^{\circ}$ C

Freezing point of solvent = $0^{\circ}$ C

Change in freezing point =Depression in freezing point

=Freezing point of solvent - freezing point of solution=0+3.33= $3.33^{\circ}$

$\Delta T_f=\frac{W_B\times K_f\times 1000}{W_A\times M_B}$

$M_B=\frac{10\times 1.86\times 1000}{3.33\times 90}$

$M_B=62.06 g/mol$

Hence, molar mass of unknown liquid is 62.06g/mol.

A Bullet Off mass 100 gm is fired From A Gun Off mass 5 Kg. If the backward velocity of the gun's 5 m / s, what is forward veloc

Elena L [17]

Answer:

250 m/s

Explanation:

The mass of the bullet, m₁ = 100 g = 0.1 kg

The mass of the gun, m₂ = 5 kg

The backward velocity of the gun, v₂ = -5 m/s

Given that the momentum is conserved, we have;

The total initial momentum = The total final momentum

The gun and the bullet are at rest, therefore, we have;

The initial momentum = 0

The total final momentum = m₁·v₁ + m₂·v₂

Where;

v₁ = The forward velocity of the bullet

Therefore, we get;

m₁·v₁ + m₂·v₂ = 0

0.1 kg × v₁ + 5 kg × (-5 m/s) = 0

0.1 kg × v₁ = 5 kg × 5 m/s

v₁ = (5 kg × 5 m/s)/(0.1 kg) = 250 m/s

The forward velocity of the bullet, v₁ = 250 m/s

Is the lithosphere part of the mantle or the crust? Explain.

gavmur [86]

Answer:

Both

Explanation:

The lithosphere is part of both the crust and the mantle.

It is the surface layer of the earth and also the most rigid layer. It is formed by the crust and the outermost part of the mantle. It is divided into two types: continental lithosphere and oceanic lithosphere.

The oceanic lithosphere has an approximate thickness of 50 - 100km, and the continental olithosphere of 40 - 200km.
