The formula of mechanical advantage in this situation is:
MA = Input Force ÷ Output Force
The input force is the 30N applied to a screwdriver while the output force is the 75N force to the lid.
So,
MA = 30N/75N
MA = 0.40
Hence the mechanical advantage of the screwdriver is 0.40.
Answer:
The water molecules slow down, stronger attractions form between them, and the molecules are pulled closer together.
Explanation:
In solids the packing of the particles is closer and tighter thus increasing the intermolecular attraction. This makes solids rigid with a definite shape, size and volume. On the other hand in liquids the packing of the particles is loose thus decreasing the intermolecular attraction. This makes liquids able to flow, and takes the shape and volume of the container in which they are placed.
Answer:
21.6 g
Explanation:
The reaction that takes place is:
First we<u> convert the given masses of both reactants into moles</u>, using their <em>respective molar masses</em>:
- 9.6 g CH₄ ÷ 16 g/mol = 0.6 mol CH₄
- 64.9 g O₂ ÷ 32 g/mol = 2.03 mol O₂
0.6 moles of CH₄ would react completely with (2 * 0.6) 1.2 moles of O₂. As there are more O₂ moles than required, O₂ is the reactant in excess and CH₄ is the limiting reactant.
Now we <u>calculate how many moles of water are produced</u>, using the <em>number of moles of the limiting reactant</em>:
- 0.6 mol CH₄ *
= 1.2 mol H₂O
Finally we<u> convert 1.2 moles of water into grams</u>, using its <em>molar mass</em>:
- 1.2 mol * 18 g/mol = 21.6 g
