What is the smallest possible number of products in a decomposition reaction?

1 answer:

3 0

The smallest number of products in a decomposition reaction is two because there is 1 reactant that breaks down and when it does break down there must be two products. It is generally more, though.

RSB [31]

Answer:

that best describes the process is C

Explanation:

This problem is a calorimeter process where the heat given off by one body is equal to the heat absorbed by the other.

Heat absorbed by the smallest container

Q_c = m ce ( $T_{f}$ -T₀)

Heat released by the largest container is

Q_a = M ce (T_{i}-T_{f})

how

Q_c = Q_a

m (T_{f}-T₀) = M (T_{i} - T_{f})

Therefore, we see that the smaller container has less thermal energy and when placed in contact with the larger one, it absorbs part of the heat from it until the thermal energy of the two containers is the same.

Of the final statements, the one that best describes the process is C

since it talks about the thermal energy and the heat that is transferred in the process

Imagine two billiard balls on a pool table. Ball A has a mass of 7 kilograms and ball B has a mass of 2 kilograms. The initial v

wlad13 [49]

1) In a perfectly inelastic collision, the two balls stick together after the collision. In this type of collision, the total kinetic energy of the system is not conserved, while the total momentum is conserved.
If we call $v_f$ the final velocity of the two balls that stick together, the conservation of the total momentum before and after the collision can be written as
$m_a v_{Ai} + m_b v_{Bi} = (m_A+m_B)v_f$ (1)
where
$m_A=7 kg$ is the mass of ball A
$m_B=2 kg$ is the mass of ball B
$v_{Ai}=6 m/s$ is the initial velocity of ball A
$v_{Bi}=-12 m/s$ is the initial velocity of ball B (taken with a negative sign, since it goes in the opposite direction of ball A)

If we solve (1) to find $v_f$ , we find that the final velocity of the balls is
$v_f= \frac{m_Av_{Ai}+m_Bv_{Bi}}{m_A+m_B}= \frac{(7\cdot 6)+(2 \cdot (- 12))}{7+2}= \frac{18}{9}=2 m/s$
and the positive sign means the two balls are going to the right.

2) I assume here we are talking about an elastic collision. In this case, both total momentum and total kinetic energy are conserved:
$m_A v_{Ai}+m_B v_{Bi} = m_A v_{fA} + m_B v_{fB}$
$\frac{1}{2}m_A v_{Ai}^2+ \frac{1}{2}m_B v_{Bi}^2= \frac{1}{2}m_Av_{fA}^2+ \frac{1}{2}m_B v_{fB}^2$
where
$v_{fA}$ is the final velocity of ball A
$v_{fB}$ is the final velocity of ball B

If we solve simultaneously the two equations, we find:
$v_{fA}= \frac{v_{Ai}(m_A-m_B)+2m_Bv_{Bi}}{m_A+m_B} = \frac{(6)(7-2)+2(2)(-12)}{7+2}=-2 m/s$
$v_{fB}= \frac{v_{Bi}(m_B-m_A)+2m_Av_{Ai}}{m_A+m_B} = \frac{(-12)(2-7)+2(7)(6)}{7+2}= \frac{144}{9}=16 m/s$
So, after the collision, ball A moves to the left with velocity v=-2 m/s and ball B moves to the right with velocity v=16 m/s.

3) The total momentum before and after the collision is conserved.
In fact, the total momentum before the collision is:
$p_i = m_A v_{A} + m_B v_{fB} = (7\cdot 6)+(2 \cdot (-12))=42-24=18 m/s$
and the total momentum after the collision is:
$p_f = m_A v_{A} + m_B v_{fB} = (7\cdot (-2))+(2 \cdot 16)=-14+32=18 m/s$

when an object falls to the ground, only the object moves down but the earth's motion is not noticeable.why?

vlada-n [284]

Both the object and earth pulls each other towards itself but since the mass and pulling force of objects are very small the pulling force of objects are negligible.

true or false? short-wave heat radiation is given off by the earth when the earth absorbs long-wave radiation.

Greeley [361]

Answer:

Hope this helps u, pls mark me brainlist

Explanation:

The sun emits shortwave radiation because it is extremely hot and has a lot of energy to give off. Once in the Earth's atmosphere, clouds and the surface absorb the solar energy. The ground heats up and re-emits energy as longwave radiation in the form of infrared rays.
