Answer: find the answer in the explanation as kinetic energy converts to potential energy.

Explanation:

Before the truck driver sees a dog running into the road, The mechanical energy state of the truck will be kinetic energy at maximum.

Immediately he applied the brakes, the mechanical energy of the truck will be combination of kinetic energy and potential energy.

The kinetic energy will gradually decrease as potential energy continue to increase till it reaches maximum potential energy.

The truck will come to a stop at maximum potential energy

A 12.0 g sample of gas occupies 19.2 L at STP. what is the of moles and molecular weight of this gas?​
lubasha [3.4K]

At STP, 1 mole of an ideal gas occupies a volume of about 22.4 L. So if <em>n</em> is the number of moles of this gas, then

<em>n</em> / (19.2 L) = (1 mole) / (22.4 L)   ==>   <em>n</em> = (19.2 L•mole) / (22.4 L) ≈ 0.857 mol

If the sample has a mass of 12.0 g, then its molecular weight is

(12.0 g) / <em>n</em> ≈ 14.0 g/mol
