Answer:

7.38 × 10-5

Explanation:

All numbers in scientific notation or standard form are written in the form m × 10n, where m is a number between 1 and 10 ( 1 ≤ |m| < 10 ) and the exponent n is a positive or negative integer.

To convert 0.0000738 into scientific notation, follow these steps:

Move the decimal 5 times to the right in the number so that the resulting number, m = 7.38, is greater than or equal to 1 but less than 10

Since we moved the decimal to the right the exponent n is negative

n = -5

Write in the scientific notation form, m × 10n

= 7.38 × 10-5

Therefore, the decimal number 0.0000738 written in scientific notation is 7.38 × 10-5 and it has 3 significant figures.

Answer = 7.38 × 10-5

Predict which molecule will show a similar relationship between its heat of fusion and its heat vaporization that water does

BaLLatris [955]

Question:

A) C6H6

B) CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2COH6

C) NaCl

D) NH3

Answer:

The correct option is;

A) C₆H₆

Explanation:

Heat of fusion = 6.02 kJ/mol

Heat of vaporization =40.8 kJ/mol

Here, we analyze each of the options as follows

A) C₆H₆

Benzene has a melting point of 5.5° C and a boiling point of

80.1 ° C similar to water

Heat of fusion = 9.92 kJ/mol

Heat of vaporization =30.8kJ/mol

B) CH₃CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₂COH₆

The above compound is more likely solid

C) NaCl solid

D) NH₃ melting point = -77.73 °C boiling point = -33.34 °C

Of the above, the compounds the one that closely resembles water is C₆H₆

Consider a spring mass system (mass m1, spring constant k) with period T1. Now consider a spring mass system with the same sprin

tatuchka [14]

Answer:

Assuming that both mass here move horizontally on a frictionless surface, and that this spring follows Hooke's Law, then the mass of $m_2$ would be four times that of $m_1$ .

Explanation:

In general, if the mass in a spring-mass system moves horizontally on a frictionless surface, and that the spring follows Hooke's Law, then

$\displaystyle \frac{m_2}{m_1} = \left(\frac{T_2}{T_1}\right)^2$ .

Here's how this statement can be concluded from the equations for a simple harmonic motion (SHM.)

In an SHM, if the period is $T$ , then the angular velocity of the SHM would be

$\displaystyle \omega = \frac{2\pi}{T}$ .

Assume that the mass starts with a zero displacement and a positive velocity. If $A$ represent the amplitude of the SHM, then the displacement of the mass at time $t$ would be:

$\mathbf{x}(t) = A\sin(\omega\cdot t)$ .

The velocity of the mass at time $t$ would be:

$\mathbf{v}(t) = A\,\omega \, \cos(\omega\, t)$ .

The acceleration of the mass at time $t$ would be:

$\mathbf{a}(t) = -A\,\omega^2\, \sin(\omega \, t)$ .

Let $m$ represent the size of the mass attached to the spring. By Newton's Second Law, the net force on the mass at time $t$ would be:

$\mathbf{F}(t) = m\, \mathbf{a}(t) = -m\, A\, \omega^2 \, \cos(\omega\cdot t)$ ,

Since it is assumed that the mass here moves on a horizontal frictionless surface, only the spring could supply the net force on the mass. Therefore, the force that the spring exerts on the mass will be equal to the net force on the mass. If the spring satisfies Hooke's Law, then the spring constant $k$ will be equal to:

$\begin{aligned} k &= -\frac{\mathbf{F}(t)}{\mathbf{x}(t)} \\ &= \frac{m\, A\, \omega^2\, \cos(\omega\cdot t)}{A \cos(\omega \cdot t)} \\ &= m \, \omega^2\end{aligned}$ .
