Answer:

As water freezes, a crystalline structure preserved by hydrogen bonding is formed by water molecules. Less dense than liquid water is solid water, or ice. Ice is less dense than water since molecules are pulled farther apart by the direction of hydrogen bonds, which decreases density.

How many moles of C2H2 are needed to react completely with 84.0 mol O2?

Mama L [17]

The reaction between C2H2 and O2 is as follows:
2C2H2 + 5O2 = 4CO2 + 2H2O

After balancing the equation, the reaction ratio between C2H2 and O2 is 2:5.

The moles of O2 in this reaction is 84.0 mol. According to the above ratio, the moles of C2H2 needed to react completely with the O2 is 84.0mole *2/5 = 33.6 mole.

Box 1

Alex73 [517]

10g

Explanation:

Box 1, Mass of A = 10g

Box 2, Mass of B = 5g

Box 3, = 1A + 1B

Unknown:

Mass of B that would combine with mass of 20g of A

Solution:

Mass ratio of A to B:

$\frac{mass of A}{mass of B}$ = mass ratio

$\frac{10}{5}$ = mass ratio

The mass ratio of A to B = 2: 1

Now, number of B that will combine with 20g of A;

$\frac{mass of A}{mass of B}$ = mass ratio

$\frac{20}{mass of B}$ = $\frac{2}{1}$

Mass of B = 10g

10g of B would combine with 20g of A

Mrs. Jacobson is pushing a fridge to the right with a force of 100 N. The force pushing it

alex41 [277]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let's illustrate this; see the attachment.

We see that Mrs. Jacobson is pushing to the right with a force of 100 N and there is another opposite force pushing with a force of 15 N. Since these are in opposite directions, we can say that the force opposite to Mrs. Jacobson is pushing the fridge -15 N to the right (instead of 15 N to the left).

The net force would then be:

100 N + (-15 N) = 85 N to the right

The answer is A.
