Answer: Wheel and Axle

Both of these work together to form a simple machine. You can't have one without the other.

If you try to turn just the axle itself, then you'll find it takes a lot of work. This is because the inertia of the axle wants to keep the object at rest. Also, you won't have a lot of torque due to the small radius compared to what a doorknob can offer.

Using a doorknob is like putting a (steering) wheel on an axle. This increases the radius and therefore increases the torque. You put in less work into the system and get more out of it.

Of the different states of matter listed below, which is typically the most dense?

stiv31 [10]

The correct answer is option B. The most dense phase of matter is the solid phase and the least dense are gases. However, there is an exception. Water is the exception. Solid water or ice is less dense than the liquid phase therefore it floats on liquid water.

Which internal system is responsible for transporting oxygen and nutrients through an animal's body?

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

B: circulatory system

Explanation:

The circulatory system is made up of blood vessels that carry blood away from and towards the heart. Arteries carry blood away from the heart and veins carry blood back to the heart. The circulatory system carries oxygen, nutrients, and hormones to cells, and removes waste products, like carbon dioxide.

If 20 grams of Zinc phosphate reacts with excess hydrochloric acid and produces 18 grams of Zinc chloride what is the percent yi

fenix001 [56]

Answer:

$Y=85\%$

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since we know the balanced chemical reaction, we are first able to realize there is a 1:3 mole ratio between zinc phosphate and zinc chloride; it means that we can first compute the moles of the desired product via stoichiometry:

$n_{ZnCl_2}=20gZn_3(PO_4)_2*\frac{1molZn_3(PO_4)_2}{386.11gZn_3(PO_4)_2}*\frac{3molZnCl_2}{1molZn_3(PO_4)_2}=0.16gZnCl_2$

Next, since those moles are associated with the theoretical yield of zinc chloride, we obtain the corresponding mass:

$m_{ZnCl_2}^{theoretical}=0.16molZnCl_2*\frac{136.29gZnCl_2}{1molZnCl_2} =21gZnCl_2$

Finally, we compute the percent yield by diving the actual yield (18 g) by the theoretical yield:

$Y=\frac{18g}{21g}*100\%\\\\Y=85\%$

Best regards!
