What happens to the potential energy of a book that is dropped from a desk to the floor?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Debora [2.8K]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

D.   It is converted into kinetic energy.

Explanation:

When a book is dropped from a desk to the floor, the potential energy of the book is converted to kinetic energy as it falls.

  • Potential energy of a body is the energy due to the position of the body.
  • At a particular height, the potential energy is maximum.
  • A body with mass and moving with velocity will have kinetic energy
  • As the book drops through the height, to conserve energy, the potential energy is converted to kinetic energy.

Heat is transferred by conduction through a wall of thickness 0.87 m. What is the rate of heat transfer if the walls thermal con
erik [133]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

         Thickness (dx) = 0.87 m,       thermal conductivity (k) = 13 W/m-K

        Surface area (A) = 5 m^{2},       T_{1} = 14^{o}C

        T_{2} = 93^{o}C

According to Fourier's law,

                    Q = -kA \frac{dT}{dx}

Hence, putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

                      Q = -kA \frac{dT}{dx}

                          = -13 W/m-k \times 5 m^{2} \times \frac{(14 - 93)}{0.87 m}

                          = 5902.298 W

Therefore, we can conclude that the rate of heat transfer is 5902.298 W.

The temperature of evaporation is much higher for water than for alcohol. Without knowing more about the chemistry of alcohol, w
Valentin [98]

Answer:

Fewer hydrogen bonds form between alcohol molecules. As a result, less heat is needed for alcohol molecules to break away from solution and enter the air.

Explanation:

Hydrogen bonding is a kind of intermolecular interaction that occurs when hydrogen is bonded to a highly electronegative atom.

Both water and alcohols exhibit hydrogen bonding. However, alcohols exhibit fewer hydrogen bonds than water.

As a result of this, the temperature of evaporation is much higher for water than for alcohol because hydrogen bonds hold water molecules more closely than alcohol molecules are held.

In the following reaction, how many grams of NaBr will react with 311 grams of Pb(NO3)2?
Mashutka [201]
Molar mass :

NaBr = 103 g/mol

Pb(NO3)2 = 331.20 g/mol

<span><span /><span>Balanced chemical equation :

</span></span>2 NaBr + 1 Pb(NO3)2 = 2 NaNO3 + 1 PbBr<span>2
</span><span>
2*103 g NaBr ------------> 1 * 331.20 g Pb(NO3)2
      g NaBr  -------------------> 311 g Pb(NO3)2

331.20  g  =   2*103*311

331.20 g = 64066

mass ( NaBr ) =  64066 / 331.20

mass ( naBr)  = 193,43 g of NaBr

hope this helps!.
