Which skier will have a greater potential energy? Justify your answer.

Chemistry
1 answer:
pochemuha4 years ago
6 0

Answer: Skier 1 will have more potential energy because he is higher than skier 2

Explanation: Gravitational potential energy is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position or height.

P.E=m\times g\times h

m= mass of the body

g= acceleration due to gravity

h= height of body

Thus if the masses of two bodies are same, the one with greater height possess greater potential energy.

gladu [14]

Answer:

<em>An electrical circuit is an unbroken path along which an electrical current occurs and/or will pass. The basic electrical circuit consists of a power supply, two conductive wires (one end of each being connected to each cell terminal) and a small light to which the free ends of the wires leading out of the cell are attached. If the links are made right, the circuit will "close"</em>

Balance the redox reaction equation (occurring in acidic solution) and choose the correct coefficients for each reactant and pro
algol13
Balanced chemical reaction: 
PbO₂<span>(s) + Sn(s)+ 4H</span>⁺(aq) → Pb²⁺(aq) + Sn²⁺(aq) + 2H₂O<span>(l).
Oxidation half-reaction: Sn </span>→ Sn²⁺ + 2e⁻.<span>
Reduction half-reaction: PbO</span>₂ + 4H⁺ + 2e⁻ → Pb²⁺ + 2H₂O.
Net reaction: Sn + PbO₂ + 4H⁺ + 2e⁻ → Sn²⁺ + 2e⁻ + Pb²⁺ + 2H₂O.
Oxidation is increase of oxidation number, reduction is decrease of oxidation number.

Explain why when a strong acid is titrated with a strong base, the pH at equivalence pt. is equal 7, while in the case of a weak
goldenfox [79]

Explanation:

The pH of a strong acid when titrated with a strong base is equal to 7 because of the formation of a neutral salt which corresponds to pH = 7.

But on the other hand,

The titration of the weak acid and strong base, the reaction taking place is:

HC₂H₃O₂  +  OH⁻  ⇒ H₂O  +  C₂H₃O₂⁻

At the equivalence point, the pH is greater than 7 because of the conjugate base formed in the above reaction which gives OH⁻ in the solution as:

C₂H₃O₂⁻ + H₂O ⇒ HC₂H₃O₂  +  OH⁻

<u>The hydroxide ions produced in the above reaction results in the pH above 7 (basic).</u>
