From that ragged, motley list of statements, only 'C' is true.

Write a balanced equation for the decomposition of ammonium nitrate to form molecular nitrogen, molecular oxygen, and water. Exp
VARVARA [1.3K]

The unbalanced reaction is

<em>a</em> NH₄NO₃   ⇒   <em>b</em> N₂ + <em>c</em> O₂ + <em>d</em> H₂O

where <em>a</em>, <em>b</em>, <em>c</em>, and <em>d</em> are unknown constants.

Count how many times each element appears on either side of the reaction.

• reactants:

N = 2<em>a</em>, H = 4<em>a</em>, O = 3<em>a</em>

• products

N = 2<em>b</em>, O = 2<em>c</em> + <em>d</em>, H = 2<em>d</em>

<em />

Now we solve the system of equations,

2<em>a</em> = 2<em>b</em> … … … [1]

4<em>a</em> = 2<em>d</em> … … … [2]

3<em>a</em> = 2<em>c</em> + <em>d</em> … … … [3]

<em />

From [1] we immediately have

<em>a</em> = <em>b</em>

In [2], we get

2<em>a</em> = <em>d</em>

and substituting for <em>d</em> in [3] gives

3<em>a</em> = 2<em>c</em> + 2<em>a</em>

<em>a</em> = 2<em>c</em>

<em />

Let <em>c</em> = 1; then

• <em>a</em> = 2×1 = 2

• <em>b</em> = 2

• <em>d</em> = 2×2 = 4

So, the balanced reaction is

2 NH₄NO₃   ⇒   2 N₂ + O₂ + 4 H₂O

an object with a mass of 5kg is moving with an initial velocity of 20m/s.the object accelerates at a rate of 15m/s/s for 8s.what
Alinara [238K]

It doesn't matter what the object's initial velocity is, or how long
the acceleration lasts.  All that matters is the object's mass and
acceleration.

Force = (mass) x (acceleration) =

                (5kg) x (15 m/s²) =

                         75 kg-m/s² = <em>75 newtons .</em>

The momentum of the second ball was 15 kg.m/s.

<h3>What is inelastic collision?</h3>

In which collision some amount of kinetic energy of the system is lost that called inelastic collision. In purely inelastic collision, two bodies stick together. But principle of conservation of linear momentum is obeyed.

In the given question,

Two balls collide and after collision, the final momentum of the system = 18 kg.m/s.

Initial velocity of 1st ball of mass 3 kg is 1 m/s.

So, Initial momentum of first ball = mass × velocity = (3 kg) × (1 m/s) = 3 kg.m/s.

According to Principle of conservation of linear momentum for this inelastic collision,

Initial momentum of first ball + initial momentum of second ball =  final momentum of the system

⇒   initial momentum of second ball =   final momentum of the system - Initial momentum of first ball

= 18 kg.m/s - 3 kg.m/s.

= 15 kg.m/s.

Hence, initial momentum of second ball = 15 kg.m/s.
