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.

13. A mixture of MgCO3 and MgCO3.3H2O has a mass of 3.883 g. After heating to drive off all the water the mass is 2.927 g. What
rjkz [21]

Answer:

63.05% of MgCO3.3H2O by mass

Explanation:

<em>of MgCO3.3H2O in the mixture?</em>

The difference in masses after heating the mixture = Mass of water. With the mass of water we can find its moles and the moles and mass of MgCO3.3H2O to find the mass percent as follows:

<em>Mass water:</em>

3.883g - 2.927g = 0.956g water

<em>Moles water -18.01g/mol-</em>

0.956g water * (1mol/18.01g) = 0.05308 moles H2O.

<em>Moles MgCO3.3H2O:</em>

0.05308 moles H2O * (1mol MgCO3.3H2O / 3mol H2O) =

0.01769 moles MgCO3.3H2O

<em>Mass MgCO3.3H2O -Molar mass: 138.3597g/mol-</em>

0.01769 moles MgCO3.3H2O * (138.3597g/mol) = 2.448g MgCO3.3H2O

<em>Mass percent:</em>

2.448g MgCO3.3H2O / 3.883g Mixture * 100 =

<h3>63.05% of MgCO3.3H2O by mass</h3>

What is the density of an 84.7 g sample of an unknown substance if the sample occupies 49.6cm cubed
Ahat [919]

Answer:

             1.70 g.cm⁻³

Solution:

Data Given;

                   Mass  =  84.7 g

                   Volume  =  49.6 cm³

                   Density  =  ?

Formula Used;

                   Density  =  Mass ÷ Volume

Putting values,

                   Density  =  84.7 g ÷ 49.6 cm³ 

                   Density  =  1.70 g.cm⁻³

Oxygen gas is collected over water. The total pressure (the O2 pressure the water vapor pressure) is 736 torr. The temperature o
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

The value of the partial pressure of the oxygen  P_{O_{2} } =  690 torr

Explanation:

Total pressure of the mixture of gases = 736 torr

The partial pressure of water vapor = 46 torr

From the law of pressure we know that

Total pressure = The partial pressure of water vapor + The partial pressure of oxygen O_{2}

Put the values of pressures in above equation we get,

⇒ 736 = 46 + P_{O_{2} }

⇒ P_{O_{2} } = 736 - 46

⇒ P_{O_{2} } =  690 torr

This is the value of the partial pressure of the oxygen.
