The pressure at the bottom : 19600 N/m²

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

A ground water tank has its height 2m

Required

The pressure at its bottom

Solution

Hydrostatic pressure is the pressure caused by the weight of a liquid.  

The weight of a liquid is affected by the force of gravity.  

The hydrostatic pressure of a liquid can be formulated:  

\large{\boxed{\bold {P_h ~ = ~ \rho.g.h}}

Ph = hydrostatic pressure (N / m², Pa)  

ρ = density of liquid (kg / m³)  

g = acceleration due to gravity (m / s²)  

h = height / depth of liquid surface (m)  

ρ = density of water (kg / m³) = 1000

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/ sec²

The pressure

\tt P=1000\times 9.8\times 2=19600~N/m^2

During a synthesis reaction, 1.8 grams of magnesium reacted with 6.0 grams of oxygen. What is the maximum amount of magnesium ox
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

2.9 grams.

Explanation:

  • From the balanced reaction:

<em>Mg + 1/2O₂ → MgO,</em>

1.0 mole of Mg reacts with 0.5 mole of oxygen to produce 1.0 mole of MgO.

  • We need to calculate the no. of moles of (1.8 g) of Mg and (6.0 g) of oxygen:

no. of moles of Mg = mass/molar mass = (1.8 g)/(24.3 g/mol) = 0.074 mol.

no. of moles of O₂ = mass/molar mass = (6.0 g)/(16.0 g/mol) = 0.375 mol.

<em>So. 0.074 mol of Mg reacts completely with (0.074/2 = 0.037 mol) of O₂ which be in excess.</em>

<em></em>

<em><u>Using cross multiplication:</u></em>

1.0 mole of Mg produce → 1.0 mol of MgO.

∴ 0.074 mol of Mg produce → 0.074 mol of MgO.

<em>∴ The amount of MgO produced = no. of moles x molar mass </em>= (0.074 mol)(40.3 g/mol) = <em>2.98 g.</em>

Which of the following CANNOT be determined by looking at the spectra of a star? *
Rzqust [24]

Answer:

A:temperature

Explanation:

The temperature cannot be determined by looking at the spectra of the star due to lack of the equipment for its measurement. <em>On the other-hand, the remaining statements like the distance from earth, movement towards or away from earth can be determined.</em>

What is atomic hydrogen?<br>​
goldenfox [79]
A hydrogen atom is an atom of the chemical element hydrogen. The electrically neutral atom contains a single positively charged proton and a single negatively charged electron bound to the nucleus by the Coulomb force. Atomic hydrogen constitutes about 75% of the baryonic mass of the universe.

In terms of valence electrons, explain why metals form positive ions.
diamong [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

Metal elements form positively charged ions called cations because they are located on the left side of the periodic table These elements all have valence electrons in an s orbital. These electrons are relatively easy for the atom to lose to achieve a stable octet of electrons in its outermost energy shell.

soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

The elastic potential energy stored in the stretched rubber band changes to kinetic energy.

Explanation:

Joshua hooks a rubber band between his thumb and forefinger. He moves his fingers apart, stretching the rubber band---- Here potential Energy is stored which is an energy that the rubber band has because of its position and it's potential to be converted into kinetic energy.

With a quick, sudden motion, he bends his thumb forward so that the rubber band slips off----The elastic potential energy stored in the stretched rubber band will change to kinetic energy, which is the Energy in Motion and work needed to accelerate the rubber band from rest to its stated or new position.
