What is wrong with the statement "this rock weighs 8 kilograms"

Chemistry

Natasha2012 [34]4 years ago

Answer: The unit of weight is Newtons.

Explanation:

Mass of an object is the amount of matter contained in the body. It is measured in units of g, kg and mg.

Weight of an object is the force acting on an object by virtue of its mass.

weight=m\times g

m = mass

g= acceleration due to gravity

Putting in the values we get,

weight=kg\times m/s^2=kgms^{-2}=N

1kgms^{-2}=1Newton(N)

Thus weight is expressed in units of Newton in S.I system.

Weight of any object is given as follows:

Weight = mass*acceleration due to gravity

The unit of weight is N, while the unit of mass if kg.

In the given statement the unit is kg means the correct statement is this rock mass is 8 kilo-grams

Is a hydrogel a smart polymer/stimuli-responsive polmer?​
Vadim26 [7]
Polymer scientists have been trying to mimic this behavior by creating so called smart polymers. ... One of the most important classes of stimuli-responsive polymers used for controlled drug delivery is crosslinked polymer networks, e.g., hydrogels and microgels.
Hopefully this helps if not I’ll try rewriting it

What type of elements for ionic bonds with one another ?
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

metals and nonmetal ions

Explanation:

Ionic bonds form when a nonmetal and a metal exchange electrons, while covalent bonds form when electrons are shared between two nonmetals. An ionic bond is a type of chemical bond formed through an electrostatic attraction between two oppositely charged ions.

How many moles of magnesium are required to react with 2.0 mol of hydrochloric acid? The equation for this reaction is Mg + 2HCl
Anton [14]

Answer:

1 mole of magnesium are required to react with 2.0 mol of hydrochloric acid.

Explanation:

The balanced reaction is:

Mg + 2 HCl → MgCl₂ + H₂

The law of conservation of matter states that since no atom can be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction, the number of atoms that are present in the reagents has to be equal to the number of atoms present in the products. That is, the law of conservation of mass implies that the sum total of charges before and after the chemical reaction remains constant.

The relationships between the quantities of reactants consumed and products formed depend directly on this conservation law, and therefore can be determined by an equation that describes them. This equality is called the stoichiometric equation.

In this case, by stoichiometry of the reaction (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction), you have:

  • Mg: 1 mole
  • HCl: 2 moles
  • MgCl₂: 1 mole
  • H₂: 1 mole

Then, <u><em>1 mole of magnesium are required to react with 2.0 mol of hydrochloric acid.</em></u>
