Answer:

The elastic potential energy stored in the stretched rubber band changes to kinetic energy.

Explanation:

Joshua hooks a rubber band between his thumb and forefinger. He moves his fingers apart, stretching the rubber band---- Here potential Energy is stored which is an energy that the rubber band has because of its position and it's potential to be converted into kinetic energy.

With a quick, sudden motion, he bends his thumb forward so that the rubber band slips off----The elastic potential energy stored in the stretched rubber band will change to kinetic energy, which is the Energy in Motion and work needed to accelerate the rubber band from rest to its stated or new position.

What information do we need to determine the molecular formula of a compound from the empirical formula?
defon

Answer:

Molecular mass

Explanation:

Molecular formulas is the actual number of atoms of each element in the compound while empirical formulas is the simplest or reduced ratio of the elements in the compound.

Thus,  

Molecular mass = n × Empirical mass

Where, n is any positive number from 1, 2, 3...

Thus if the molecular mass is known, then we can find the value of n which results to molecular formula.

What is the chemical equation( formula ) of the reaction of photosynthesis
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

The process of photosynthesis is commonly written as: 6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2.

Explanation:

This means that the reactants, six carbon dioxide molecules and six water molecules, are converted by light energy captured by chlorophyll (implied by the arrow) into a sugar molecule and six oxygen molecules, the products.
