Answer:

When liquid water is cooled, it contracts until a temperature of approximately 4 degrees Celsius is reached. After that, it expands slightly until it reaches the freezing point, and then when it freezes it expands by approximately 9%. When water freezes, water molecules form a crystalline structure maintained by hydrogen bonding. Ice is less dense than water because the orientation of hydrogen bonds causes molecules to push farther apart, which lowers the density.

1. Determine the amount concentration of calcium ions and acetate ions in a 0.80 mol/L
PIT_PIT [208]

Since there is one mole of Ca^2+ in calcium acetate, its concentration is 0.80 mol/L.

<h3>What is concentration?</h3>

The term concentration has to do with the amount of substance in solution. The concentration can be measured in several units. Generally, concentration is expressed in molarity, molality, mass concentration units or percentage.

Now we are asked to find the amount concentration of calcium ions and acetate ions in a 0.80 mol/L solution of calcium acetate. The formula of calcium acetate is Ca(CH3COO)2.

Thus;

Ca(CH3COO)2(aq)  ----> Ca^2+(aq) + 2CH3COO^-(aq)

It then follows that since there is one mole of Ca^2+ in calcium acetate, its concentration is 0.80 mol/L.

What happens to an object at rest if balanced forces act upon it?
OLga [1]

Newton's first law of motion states that an object at rest will remain at rest unless an unbalanced force acts on it. If you apply balanced forces on the object there would be no net force. The body does not accelerate but instead stays at rest.

Another way to look at this problem is to use Newton's second law of motion. The first law states that F = m\times a, where a is the accelerationF is the net force and m is the mass of the object.

When F is zero, the acceleration of the object is zero. This means that if the object had a velocity of zero before the balanced forces started acting, the velocity will stay at zero after the balanced forces begin to act. If  the object was moving at a constant velocity before the balanced forces started acting on it, it would continue at that constant velocity after the balanced forces begin to act.
