Explain how a wedge changes an input force

Chemistry
1 answer:
Fynjy0 [20]2 years ago
5 0
It is the ratio of the output force to the input force. A wedge applies more force to the object than the user applies to the wedge, so the mechanical advantage of a wedge is greater than 1. A longer, thinner wedge has a greater mechanical advantage than shorter, wider wedge.

The chemical equation is said to be balanced if the number of atoms in the reactants and products is the same

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Equation balanced ⇒ total number of atoms in reactants(on the left)= total number of atoms in products(on the right)

H₂+O₂---> H₂O

Reactants : H₂, O₂

Products : H₂O

not balanced

H₂O₂ ---> H₂O+O₂

Reactants : H₂O₂

Products : H₂O, O₂

not balanced

Na+O₂ ---> Na₂O

Reactants : Na, O₂

Products :  Na₂O

not balanced

N₂+H₂ ---> NH₃

Reactants : N₂, H₂

Products :  NH₃

not balanced

P₄+O₂---> P₄O₁₀

Reactants : P₄, O₂

Products :  P₄O₁₀

not balanced

Fe+H₂O ----> Fe₃O₄ + H₂

Reactants : Fe, H₂O

Products :  Fe₃O₄

not balanced

For the following problem convert both the reactants to moles and balance chemical equationsThe reaction of 167 g Fe2O3 with 85.
saul85 [17]

Let's start by balancing the reaction:

Fe_2O_3+CO\longrightarrow Fe+CO_2

As we can see, C appears only on two comopunds, CO and CO₂, and since both have 1 C each, their coefficients have to be the same for C to be balanced. However, CO has 1 O and CO₂ has 2, so there is a difference of 1 O betwee them.

The other source of O is Fe₂O₃, that has 3 O. So, we must choose a coefficient for CO and CO₂ such that the difference between the numbers of O is a multiple of 3, that way we can fix this difference with the O from Fe₂O₃. So, we can put coefficients of 3 on both of them:

Fe_2O_3+3CO\longrightarrow Fe+3CO_2

That way, we maintained C balanced (3 on each side) and now we have 3 + 3 O on the left side and 6 O on the right side, so the same amount.

Now, we just have to calance Fe, but it is easy since we have it alone in Fe. Since we have 2 on the left side, it is enough to put a coefficient of 2 on Fe to get the balanced reaction:

Fe_2O_3+3CO\longrightarrow2Fe+3CO_2

Now, to convert from mass to number of moles, we need the molar masses of the reactants, which we can calculate from the atomic weights of the elemnts in each of them:

M_{Fe_2O_3}=2\cdot M_{Fe}+3\cdot M_O=(2\cdot55.845+3\cdot15.9994)g/mol=159.6882g/molM_{CO}=1\cdot M_C+1\cdot M_O=(1\cdot12.0107+1\cdot15.9994)g/mol=28.0101g/mol

Now, we can convert their masses to number of moles:

\begin{gathered} M_{Fe_{2}O_{3}}=\frac{m_{Fe_2O_3}}{n_{Fe_{2}O_{3}}} \\ n_{Fe_2O_3}=\frac{m_{Fe_2O_3}}{M_{Fe_{2}O_{3}}}=\frac{167g}{159.6882g/mol}=1.045787\ldots mol \end{gathered}\begin{gathered} M_{CO}=\frac{m_{CO}}{n_{CO}} \\ n_{CO}=\frac{m_{CO}}{M_{CO}}=\frac{85.8g}{28.0101g/mol}=3.063180\ldots mol \end{gathered}

Now, to determine the limiting reactant, we need to divide both the number of mole by their coefficients on the balanced reaction, so we can see how many we need per reaction of each:

\begin{gathered} Fe_2O_3\colon\frac{n_{Fe_2O_3}}{1}=\frac{1.045787\ldots mol}{1}=1.045787\ldots mol \\ CO\colon\frac{n_{CO}}{3}=\frac{3.063180\ldots mol}{3}=1.021060\ldots mol \end{gathered}

Now, the limiting reactant is the one we have less number of moles per reaction. We can see that we have less CO than Fe₂O₃, so the limiting reactant is CO.

How to balance <br> Mg + O2 &gt; MgO
katovenus [111]
<span>Mg + O2 > MgO. In reactant side, 2 O atoms and 1 Mg are present. In product side, 1 Mg and O atoms are present. Put 2 in product side to balance O atoms and 2 at Mg in reactant side to balance Mg atoms. Therefore the balanced equation becomes, 2Mg + O2 ----> 2MgO. Hope it helps.</span>

Why is a thermocouple a good device for indicating the temperature<br><br> in a car engine?
Anna35 [415]

A thermocouple is a sensor used to measure temperature. Thermocouples are made with two wires of different metals, joined together at one end to form a junction. ... Naturally, a thermocouple outputs a millivolt signal, therefore, as the resistance changes, the change in voltage can be measured.
