Earthquakes along the San Andreas fault in California.

<u>Explanation</u>:

  • When the two plates collide with each other, earthquakes occur. The contact between them makes this earthquake possible. The contact forces are responsible for the earthquakes as there is contact between two plates.          
  • The gravitational force is a force that is responsible for elevated tides happening on the east coast or the Jupiter's moons to remain in orbit. But this is not a contact force as there is no contact between them
  • Moreover, Without any contact, the magnetic force is a non-contact as it attracts the pins from a distance.

There are always attractive forces between a collection of atoms or molecules which may not be negligible as suggested by the ki
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

Negligible

Explanation:

According to the kinetic theory of gases, the degree of intermolecular interaction between gases is minimal and gas molecules tend to spread out and fill up the volume of the container.

If the attraction between gas molecules increases, then the volume of the gas decreases accordingly. This is because, gas molecules become highly attracted to each other.

This intermolecular attractive force may be so strong, such that the actual volume of the gas become negligible compared to the volume of the container.

A chemical reaction is shown below:
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

Mass = 8.46 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of water produced = ?

Mass of glucose = 20 g

Mass of oxygen = 15 g

Solution:

Chemical equation:

C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂     →   6H₂O + 6CO₂

Number of moles of glucose:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 20 g/ 180.16 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.11 mol

Number of moles of oxygen:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 15 g/ 32 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.47 mol

now we will compare the moles of water with oxygen and glucose.

               C₆H₁₂O₆           :            H₂O

                   1                   :              6

                 0.11                :           6/1×0.11 = 0.66

                   O₂               :            H₂O

                   6                   :              6

                 0.47                :           0.47

Less number of moles of water are produced by oxygen thus it will limit the yield of water and act as limiting reactant.

Mass of water produced:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 0.47 mol  ×18 g/mol

Mass = 8.46 g
