Well, first of all, the formula for finding potential energy is;
PE=mgh
  Where; m is the mass
               g is the gravitational force or acceleration due to gravity
                h is the height. 
   Anyway, according to the question, the mass is 1kg, the acceleration due to gravity has a constant value of 10ms² . And the height is 3m. Now you just have to use all these in the formula. So;
mgh= 1 x 10 x 3. That will be 30. And the unit of potential energy is Joule. So the answer is 30 joules. Hope i helped. Have a nice day.

<span>Answer: 5.32 x 10⁻³ M


Explanation:


1) The rate law for a first order reaction is:
</span><span />

<span>r = - d [A] / dt = k[A]
</span><span />

<span>2) When you integrate you get:
</span><span />

<span> [ A] = Ao x e ^(-kt)
</span><span />
Remember that here A is PH₃

<span>3) Plug in the data: Ao = 0.0316M, k = 0.0180 /s, and t = 99s
</span><span />

<span>[PH₃] = 0.0316 M x e ^( - 0.0180/s x 99s) = 5.32 x 10⁻³ M</span>

Explain what "LEO the lion goes GER" means based upon what you have learned
olchik [2.2K]

"LEO the lion goes GER" means based upon the oxidation and reduction reactions.

<h3>What is oxidation and reduction reaction?</h3>

Oxidation reactions are those reactions in which lossing of electrons are taking place from the substrate molecule and in reduction process gaining of electrons is done by substrate molecules.

The phrase "LEO the lion goes GER" is used in the context of oxidation and reduction reactions. Meaning of the terms:
LEO → Lose electrons = oxidation

GER → Gain electrons = reduction

Hence the given line is based on oxidation and reduction.
