Answer: The correct answer is C.

2/10 is simplified to 1/5, that is the factor that changes.

Answer:

1/25

Explanation:

Coulombs law states that the force of attraction between two charges q and Q is directly proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance r between them.

It is expressed as;.

F = kqQ/r²

If two point charges, initially 2 cm apart, the force between them will be;

F = kqQ/2²

F = kqQ/4 ... (1)

If the charges are now moved to a distance of 10cm apart, the force between them will then become;

F2 = kqQ/10²

F2 = kqQ/100.. (2)

Dividing equation 2 by 1;

F2/F = (kqQ/4)/kqQ/10)

F2/F = kqQ/100 × 4/kqQ

F2/F = 1/25

F2 = (1/25)F

The resulting electric force

between the changes by 1/25 since that serves as the constant of proportionality between the two forces

kotegsom [21]
In this equation

1 Cl2 + 3 F2---> 2 ClxFy

those coefficients are in MOLE (or molecule) ratios. BUT for gases at the same temp and pressure, they are also VOLUME ratios.. why? PV = nRT, V = nRT/P. if RT/P = constant.. V1/n1 = V2/n2 --> n1/n2 = V1/V2..make sense? mole ratios
= volume ratios

so.. what are x and y?
1 Cl2 + 3 F2---> 2 ClxFy

2 Cl's on the left.. x must = 1
6 F2's on the left. y must be 3

1 Cl2 + 3 F2---> 2 ClF3 <span>

What is a materials ability to be dissolved in a solvent
weeeeeb [17]
Answer: Solubility

Solubility is the ability to be dissolved. Saturation is when the concentration is too high(more than solubility) that when you add another material it won't dissolve. Solute is the material that dissolved. Solvent is the material that used for dissolving

How does a convex mirror form an image?
MariettaO [177]

The convex mirror form an image by bouncing the light away from a focal point.

Answer: Option D

<u>Explanation: </u>

A diverging mirror is a reflecting surface which is a spherical one. The bulging side of the convex mirror will face towards the light source. It is a diverging mirror in which rays diverge upon after reflection. These are often used in the mirrors that are in the automobiles.  

The image that is formed by the convex mirror cannot be displayed on the screen. Hence, they are called as Virtual image. The resulting image by the convex mirror is upright, virtual and size diminished.
