Answer:

60 J

Explanation:

The law of conservation of energy states that energy is neither created nor destroyed, just converted into different forms. This means the total mechanical energy of the object at point A will be the same as the total mechanical energy at point B, and the question tells us the total of that mechanical energy is 150 J. Note we are assuming no energy is lost from the system as heat.

At point B, if the potential energy is 90 J, the remainder of the 150 J total must be kinetic energy. KE = 150 J - 90 J = 60 J.

Two Balloons one filled with hydrogen gas and second filled with neon gas. what gas should be used in an experiement to identify

dalvyx [7]

Answer:

Oxygen

Explanation:

If two balloons are filled with hydrogen gas and helium gas respectively, then we want to identify what gas is in each balloon, we have to do so by exposing the both balloons to flame in an oxygen atmosphere.

Hydrogen combines with oxygen in the presence of a flame with quite a loud sound and the flame is sustained but when a flame is brought near helium gas in a balloon, the gas will only make a little sound when exposed to the flame and extinguish the flame.

The reason for the explosion of the gas in the hydrogen balloon is that combustion of hydrogen gas is exothermic. The heating up of surrounding air molecules leads to a sudden explosion.

However, the helium balloon makes a little sound when the balloon is ruptured releasing helium gas which extinguishes the flame.

At a given temperature the vapor pressures of hexane and octane are 183 mmhg and 59.2 mmhg, respectively. Calculate the total va

Bas_tet [7]

Total vapor pressure can be calculated using partial vapor pressures and mole fraction as follows:

$P=X_{A}P_{A}+X_{B}P_{B}$

Here, $X_{A}$ is mole fraction of A, $X_{B}$ is mole fraction of B, $P_{A}$ is partial pressure of A and $P_{B}$ is partial pressure of B.

The mole fraction of A and B are related to each other as follows:

$X_{A}+X_{B}=1$

In this problem, A is hexane and B is octane, mole fraction of hexane is given 0.580 thus, mole fraction of octane can be calculated as follows:

$X_{octane}=1-X_{hexane}=1-0.58=0.42$

Partial pressure of hexane and octane is given 183 mmHg and 59.2 mmHg respectively.

Now, vapor pressure can be calculated as follows:

$P=X_{hexane}P_{hexane}+X_{octane}P_{octane}$

Putting the values,

$P=(0.580)(183 mmHg)+(0.420)(59.2 mmHg)=131 mmHg$

Therefore, total vapor pressure over the solution of hexane and octane is 131 mmHg.

If two separate containers A and B have the same volume and temperature, but container A has more gaseous molecules than B, then

topjm [15]

Answer:

Higher pressure, is the right answer.

Explanation:

The A will have a higher pressure. Since we have given the volume and temperature is same in both containers A and B. Below is the calculation for proof that shows which container has the higher pressure while keeping the volume and temperature the same.

$So, \ V_A = V_B \\\frac{n_A T_A}{P_A} = \frac{n_B T_B}{P_B} \\Here, \ T_A = T_B \\P_A = \frac{n_A}{n_B} \times P_B \\\frac{n_A}{n_B} > 1 \\\frac{P_A}{P_B} > 1 \\P_A > P_B \\$

Therefore, the container “A” will have higher pressure.
