Explain how balanced and unbalanced forces affect an object's motion differently.

1 answer:

3 0

Newton's first law of motion is sometimes called the law of inertia. When the forces acting on an object are balanced, the object is either at rest or moving with a constant velocity. Unbalanced forces can cause an object to accelerate or decelerate. Unbalanced forces can also cause an object to change direction.

The decomposition of 3.32 g CaCO3 yields 1.24 g CaO. What is the percent yield of this reaction? (CaCO3 --> CaO + CO2)

alex41 [277]

Answer:

66.57%

Explanation:

The decomposition reaction of calcium carbonate is shown below as:

$CaCO_3\rightarrow CaO+CO_2$

Calculation of moles of $CaCO_3$ :

Amount = 3.32 g

Molar mass of $CaCO_3$ = 100 g/mol

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

$moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}$

Thus, moles are:

$moles= \frac{3.32\ g}{100\ g/mol}$

$moles= 0.0332\ mol$

According to reaction,

0.0332 moles of $CaCO_3$ decomposes to yield 0.0332 moles of $CaO$

Theoretical yield = 0.0332 moles

Calculation of moles of $CaO$ formed as:

Amount = 1.24 g

Molar mass of $CaO$ = 56 g/mol

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

$moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}$

Thus, moles are:

$moles= \frac{1.24\ g}{56\ g/mol}$

$moles= 0.0221\ mol$

Experimental yield = 0.0221 moles

$Yield\%=\frac {Experimental yield}{Theoretical yield}\times 100$

Thus,

$Yield\%=\frac {0.0221}{0.0332}\times 100$

<u>Percent yield = 66.57%</u>

A certain electromagnetic wave has a wavelength of 6.25 x 10-7m. What is the

olasank [31]

Answer: 4.80 * 10¹⁴s⁻¹

Explanation:

Speed = Frequency * Wavelength

So:

Frequency = Speed/ Wavelength

Speed of light = 3 * 10⁸ m/s

Frequency = (3 * 10⁸ m/s) / (6.25 x 10⁻⁷m)

= 4.80* 10¹⁴hz

= 4.80 * 10¹⁴s⁻¹

Strong acids have a ______ value of Ka and the equlibrium for the reaction with water lies far to the _______.

nika2105 [10]

Answer:

All strong acids have a higher value of $K_{a}$ and the equilibrium for the reaction with water lies far to the right.

Explanation:

All strong acids dissociate completely in the solution. Higher the value of dissociation constant of the acid, higher will be the dissociation of the acid.

The reaction of the acid with water will be favored in the forward direction for acids having higher dissociation constant value ( $K_{a}$ ).

The dissociation of a strong acid say HA in water is shown below $\textrm{HA}\left ( aq \right )+\textrm{H}_{2}\textrm{O}\left ( l \right )\rightleftharpoons \textrm{A}^{-}\left ( aq \right )+\textrm{H}_{3}\textrm{O}^{+}\left ( aq \right )$

Higher the value of $K_{a}$ , more will be the dissociation of the acid in water. The reaction will move far to the right side.

There are 0.55 moles of carbon dioxide gas in a 15.0 L container. This container is at a temperature of 300 K. What is the press

sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

$\large \boxed{\text{D.) 91 kPa}}$

Explanation:

We can use the Ideal Gas Law — pV = nRT

Data:

V = 15.0 L

n = 0.55 mol

T = 300 K

Calculation:

$\begin{array}{rcl}pV & =& nRT\\p \times \text{15.0 L} & = & \text{0.55 mol} \times \text{8.31 kPa$\cdot$ L$\cdot$K$^{-1}$mol$^{-1}\times$ 300 K}\\15.0p & = & \text{1370 kPa}\\p & = & \textbf{91 kPa}\end{array}\\\text{The pressure in the container is $\large \boxed{\textbf{91 kPa}}$}$

From where does the nitrogen in the nitrogen cycle originate?

Shkiper50 [21]

The correct answer is B. The nitrogen in the nitrogen cycle originate from the atmosphere. It forms approximately 78% of the Earth's atmosphere. However, this form is not usable because it is in its most stable form therefore unreactive. This nitrogen gas needs to be converted into nitrate compound for it to be usable. Then, the nitrogen cycle starts.<span />
