A small pebble and a large boulder start at the same height and begin rolling down the side of a mountain.Which object would hav

Answer:

The large boulder

Explanation:

An object’s kinetic energy depends on:

● the object’s mass and

● the object’s speed

Let us remember that the magnitude of acceleration due to gravity on the both objects is exactly the same.

However, the mass of the objects are different. Mass is a measure of the inertia (resistance to motion) of a body. The greater the mass, the greater the inertial. The boulder has a greater mass and hence a greater inertia (more resistance to motion).

Therefore, the boulder will have less kinetic energy

Leni [432]

Answer:

0.65mmHg

Explanation:

Take R =8.314J/mol/K

V=200dm3

PV=nRT

P=0.025×8.314×623/200

=0.65mmHg

Which statement explains why water is classified
hichkok12 [17]

Answer: Option (1) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Compounds are the substances which contain two or more different elements.

Similarly, water is a compound as it is made up when two hydrogen atoms combine with one oxygen atom. Compounds can be broken down with the help of chemical reactions.

Hence, the statement water can be broken down by chemical means explains why water is classified  as a compound.

For the reaction PC15 (8) PC13 (g) + Cl2 (g) K = 0.0454 at 261 °C. If a vessel is filled with these gases such that the initial
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

The correct answer is B.

The K_{eq} is samller than Q of the reaction . So,the reaction will shift towards the left i.e. towards the reactant side.

Explanation:

Equilibrium constant is defined as the ratio of concentration of products to the concentration of reactants each raised to the power their stoichiometric ratios. It is expressed as K_{eq}

K is the constant of a certain reaction when it is in equilibrium, while Q is the quotient of activities of products and reactants at any stage other than equilibrium of a reaction.

For the given chemical reaction:

PCl_5(g)\rightleftharpoons PCl_3(g)+Cl_2(g)

The expression for Q is written as:

Q=\frac{[PCl_3][Cl_2]}{[[PCl_5]^1}

Q=\frac{0.20 M\times 2.5 M}{0.20 M}

Q=2.5

Given : K_{eq} = 0.0454

Thus as K_{eq}, the reaction will shift towards the left i.e. towards the reactant side.
