Answer:

The higher up an object is the greater its gravitational potential energy. ... As most of this GPE gets changed into kinetic energy, the higher up the object starts from the faster it will be falling when it hits the ground. So a change in gravitational potential energy depends on the height an object moves through.

A sample of pure calcium fluoride with a mass of 15.0 g contains 7.70 g of calcium. how much calcium is contained in 45.0 g of c

kolbaska11 [484]

In a sample of pure calcium fluoride of mass 15.0 g, 7.70 g of calcium is present. First convert the mass into number of moles as follows:

$n=\frac{m}{M}$

Here, m is mass and M is molar mass.

Molar mass of Ca is 40 g/mol, putting the values,

$n=\frac{7.70 g}{40 g/mol}=0.1925 mol$

Similarly, molar mass of $CaF_{2}$ is 78.07 g/mol thus, number of moles will be:

$n=\frac{15.0 g}{78.07 g/mol}=0.1921 mol$ .

Thus, 0.1921 mol of $CaF_{2}$ have 0.1925 mol of Ca, or 1 mole of $CaF_{2}$ will have approximately 1 mole of Ca.

Now, mass of Ca needs to be calculated in 45.0 g of $CaF_{2}$ . Converting mass into number of moles first,

$n=\frac{45.0 g}{78.07 g/mol}=0.5764 mol$

Thus, number of moles of Ca will also be 0.5764 mol, converting number of moles into mass,

$m=n\times M=0.5764 mol\times 40 g/mol=23.06 g$

Therefore, mass of Ca will be 23.06 g.

In an internal combustion engine, platinum speeds up the oxidation of carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide. Platinum is needed for

butalik [34]

The answer is C, a catalyst. This is due to the fact that catalysts are substances that can be used to speed up a reaction by lowering the activation energy required. However, the catalyst itself is not actually used up during the reaction.
