What mistake did Carl make?
2 answers:
Answer:
The correct answer is:
'He did not multiply the chlorine and oxygen atoms by the coefficient 4'.
Explanation:
Number of atoms in
The 4 in front of molecular formula of calcium chlorate is its coefficient . it tells us about the molecules or moles of compound.
Number of calcium in 1 molecule of calcium chlorate = 1
Calcium atoms in 4 molecule of calcium chlorate = 1 × 4 = 4
Number of calcium in 1 molecule of calcium chlorate = 2
Chlorine atoms in 4 molecule of calcium chlorate = 2 × 4 = 8
Number of oxygen in 1 molecule of calcium chlorate = 3 × 2 = 6
Oxygen atoms in 4 molecule of calcium chlorate = 6 × 4 = 24
So, number of atoms of different elements calculated by Carl was wrong as he didn't multiplied the coefficient 4 with chlorine and oxygen atoms.

1.46m/s²
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Mass of cart = 281kg
Net external force = 411N
Unknown:
Acceleration of the cart = ?
Solution:
According to newton's second law " the net force on a car is the product of its mass and acceleration";
Force = mass x acceleration
Since acceleration of the cart is unknown;
Acceleration = =
Acceleration = 1.46m/s²
