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.

If the amount of dissolved solute in a solution at a given temperature is greater than the amount that can permanently remain in
anygoal [31]

Answer:

d. supersaturated.

Explanation:

A solution naturally contains a solute and a solvent. The solute is the solid substance that dissolves in the solvent, which is usually a liquid substance. A solution has a maximum amount of solute that can dissolve in its constituent solvent.

However, when the amount of dissolved solute in a solution at a given temperature is greater than the amount that can permanently remain in the solution at that temperature, the solution is said to be SUPERSATURATED. This means that the solution contains more than the maximum amount of solute.

What evidence supports a conservation law? 6 CO2 → C6H12O6 6 O2 6 CO2 6 H2O light → C6H12O6 6 O2 6 H2O light → C6H12O6 6 O2 6 CO

The law of conservation has been stated that the mass and energy has neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction.

The law of conservation has been evident when there has been an equal number of atoms of each element in the chemical reaction.

<h3>Conservation law</h3><h3 />

The given equation has been assessed as follows:

  • \rm 6\;CO_2\;\rightarrow\;C_6H_1_2O_6

The reactant has absence of hydrogen, while hydrogen has been present in the product. Thus, the reaction will not follow the law of conservation.

  • \rm 6\;O_2\;+\;+\;6\;CO_2\;+\;6\;H_2O\;+\;Light\;\rightarrow\;C_6H_1_2O_6

The number of atoms of each reactant has been different on the product and the reactant side. Thus, the reaction will not follow the law of conservation.

  • \rm 6\;O_2\;+\;6\;H_2O\;+\;Light\;\rightarrow\;C_6H_1_2O_6

The reactant has the presence of carbon, while it has been absent in the reactant. Thus, the reaction will not follow the law of conservation.

  • \rm 6\;O_2\;+\;6\;CO_2\;\rightarrow\;3\;C_6H_1_2O_6\;+\;3\;O_2

The product has the presence of hydrogen, while it has been absent in the reactant. Thus, the reaction will not follow the law of conservation.
