When gas molecules collide with other gas molecules or the walls of a container, does it affect their speed?

A force of 30 N is applied to a screwdriver to pry the lid off of a can of paint. The screwdriver applies 75 N of force to the l

Ipatiy [6.2K]

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.

If a system performs 147 kJ of work while receiving 47 kJ of heat, what is change in its internal energy?

Verdich [7]

Answer:

-100 kJ

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by applying the first law of thermodynamics, which states that:

$\Delta U = Q-W$

where:

$\Delta U$ is the change in internal energy of a system

Q is the heat absorbed/released by the system (it is positive if absorbed by the system, negative if released by the system)

W is the work done by the system (it is positive if done by the system, negative if done on the system)

For the system in this problem we have:

W = +147 kJ is the work done by the system

Q = +47 kJ is the heat absorbed by the system

So , its change in internal energy is:

$\Delta U = +47 - (+147) =-100 kJ$

The compound dioxane, which is used as a solvent in various industrial processes is composed of C,H, and O atoms. Combustion of

Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

The correct formula of dioxane is C₄H₈O₂.

Explanation:

Given data:

mass of dioxane= 2.23 g

mass of water = 1.802 g

mass of carbon dioxide = 4.401 g

molar mass of dioxane = 88.1 g / mol

Molecular formula of dioxane = ?

Solution:

percentage of carbon = (4.401 g/2.23 g ) × (12 /44) × 100

= (1.98 × 0.273) × 100 = 54.1

percentage of hydrogen = (1.802 g/ 2.23 g) × (2.016 /18.016) × 100

= (0.81 × 0.112) × 100 = 9.072

percentage of oxygen = 100 - (54.1 + 9.072)

= 100 - 63.172 = 36.828

Now we will determine the number of grams atoms of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen.

No. of gram atoms of carbon = 54.1 /12 = 4.51

No. of gram atoms of hydrogen = 9.072 / 1.008 = 9

No. of gram atoms of oxygen = 36.828 / 16 = 2.302

Atomic ratio:

C :H :O 4.51/ 2.302 : 9 / 2.302 : 2.302 /2.302

C :H :O 2 : 4 : 1

Molecular formula:

Molecular formula = n × (empirical formula)

n = molar mass of compound / empirical formula mass

empirical formula mass= 2 × 12 + 4 × 1.008 + 1 × 16

empirical formula mass= 24+ 4.032 +16 = 44.032

n = 88.1 / 44.032 = 2

Molecular formula = n × (empirical formula)

Molecular formula = 2 × (C₂H₄O)

Molecular formula = C₄H₈O₂

Why are non-metals dull in appearance as solids?

Inessa [10]

Metalloids are metallic-looking brittle solids that are either semiconductors or exist in semiconducting forms, and have amphoteric or weakly acidic oxides. Typical nonmetals have a dull, coloured or colourless appearance; are brittle when solid; are poor conductors of heat and electricity; and have acidic oxides.
