Three reasons why friction is needed

Chemistry

Answer:

1:Without friction, we would not be able to stop walking since we would just keep slipping like on ice.

2:Without friction, objects would just slip and fall with a simple blow of air

3:And finally, without friction, we wouldn't be able to use machinery like cars and etc since they would just fly off

Explanation:

Friction can be a useful force because it prevents our shoes from slipping on the pavement when we walk and stops car tires skidding on the road. When you walk, friction is caused between the tread on shoes and the ground. This friction acts to grip the ground and prevent sliding. Sometimes we want to reduce friction.

How many milliliters of nitrogen, N2, would have to be collected at 99.19 kPa and 28oC to have a sample containing 0.015 moles o

Semmy [17]

Answer:

378mL

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Pressure (P) = 99.19 kPa

Temperature (T) = 28°C

Number of mole (n) = 0.015 mole

Volume (V) =...?

Next, we shall convert the pressure and temperature to appropriate units. This is illustrated below:

For Pressure:

101.325 KPa = 1 atm

Therefore, 99.19 kPa = 99.19/101.325 = 0.98 atm

For Temperature:

T(K) = T(°C) + 273

T(°C) = 28°C

T(K) = 28°C + 273 = 301K.

Next we shall determine the volume of N2. The volume of N2 can be obtained by using the ideal gas equation as shown below:

PV = nRT

Pressure (P) = 0.98 atm

Temperature (T) = 301K

Number of mole (n) = 0.015 mole

Gas constant (R) = 0.0821atm.L/Kmol.

Volume (V) =...?

0.98 x V = 0.015 x 0.0821 x 301

Divide both side by 0.98

V = (0.015 x 0.0821 x 301) /0.98

V = 0.378 L

Finally, we shall convert 0.378 L to millilitres (mL). This is illustrated below:

1L = 1000mL

Therefore, 0.378L = 0.378 x 1000 = 378mL

Therefore, the volume of N2 collected is 378mL

How does Earth's rotation affect ocean currents?

Tom [10]

Answer:

Our planet's rotation produces a force on all bodies moving relative to theEarth. ... The force, called the "Coriolis effect," causes the direction of winds and ocean currents to be deflected.

2. What mass of sodium chloride is produced when chlorine gas reacts with 2.29 grams of sodium iodide? The unbalanced equation i

Damm [24]

Answer:

0.88g

Explanation:

The reaction equation:

2NaI + Cl₂ → 2NaCl + I₂

Given parameters:

Mass of Sodium iodide = 2.29g

Unknown:

Mass of NaCl = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we work from the known to the unknown.

First find the number of NaI from the mass given;

Number of moles = $\frac{mass}{molar mass}$

Molar mass of NaI = 23 + 126.9 = 149.9g/mol

Now insert the parameters and solve;

Number of moles = $\frac{2.29}{149.9}$ = 0.015mol

So;

From the balanced reaction equation;

2 moles of NaI produced 2 moles of NaCl

0.015mole of NaI will produce 0.015mole of NaCl

Therefore;

Mass = number of moles x molar mass

Molar mass of NaCl = 23 + 35.5 = 58.5g/mol

Now;

Mass of NaCl = 0.015 x 58.5 = 0.88g
