<span>Answer: 0.00 meters
Solution:
Step 1: Define displacement
DISPLACEMENT = a vector quantity that describes "linear or angular distance in a given direction between a body or point and a reference position."
Step 2: Understand the question
Assumption 1: Assume that when the ant moves 4.25 meters from its origin to its nest, it is moving in a positive direction (on a graph you would draw a line along the x-axis from its origin to +4.25).
Assumption 2: Assume that when the ant "turns around...back to the source of food", it is moving back in the negative direction (towards the origin).
Step 3: Analyze the question
What is the distance between where the ant originally started and where it ended its journey?
The ant started and ended its journey in the same place.
While it traveled a distance of 8.52 meters (2 * 4.26 = 8.52), it's displacement is actually 0.00 meters (4.26 + (-4.26) = 0.00)
Therefore, the answer is 0.00 meters</span>
Answer:
S = 21.92 %
F = 78.08 %
Explanation:
To find the percent composition of each element in SF6, we must find the molar mass of SF6 first.
Molar mass of SF6 = 32 + 19(6)
= 32 + 114
= 146g/mol
mass of Sulphur (S) in SF6 = 32g
mass of Fluorine (F) in SF6 = 114g
Percent composition = mass of element/molar mass of compound × 100
- % composition of S = 32/146 × 100 = 21.92%.
- % composition of F = 114/146 × 100 = 78.08%.
Answer:
A chemical equation is balanced when the number of each kind of atom is the same on both sides of the reaction.
Explanation:
The law of conservation of matter (except in nuclear reactions) indicates that atoms can neither be created or destroyed.
The number of atoms that are in the reactants must be the same as the number of the atoms that are in the product.
The number and types of molecules can (and will) change. The atoms that make up the molecules are rearranged but the number and kinds of atoms stay the same.
