Which statement is true?

2 answers:

8 0

The first statement is true because s<span>peed, being a scalar quantity, is the rate at which an object covers distance. The average speed is the distance (a scalar quantity) per time ratio. Speed has nothing to do with direction. On the other hand, velocity is a vector quantity because direction is needed for this. </span>

Answer : The correct option is, Speed is a scalar quantity and velocity is a vector quantity.

Explanation :

Speed : It is defined as the distance traveled by the object per unit time.

It is a scalar quantity because it does not depends on the direction of an object but it depends on the magnitude of the object. The unit of speed is, meter/second or m/s.

For example : The speed is written as, 44 m/s.

Velocity : It is defined a the displacement of an object with respect to the time.

It is a vector quantity because it depends on both direction and as well as on magnitude of the object. The unit of velocity is, meter/second or m/s.

For example : The velocity is written as, 44 m/s north.

Hence, the correct option is, Speed is a scalar quantity and velocity is a vector quantity.

How do you know how to order an empirical formula?

inessss [21]

Answer:

Start with the number of grams of each element, given in the problem. the mass of each element = the percent given. Convert the mass of each element to moles using the molar mass from the periodic table. Divide each mole value by the smallest number of moles calculated.

Elemental iodine (I 2) is a solid at room temperature. What is the major attractive force that exists among different I 2 molecu

Ulleksa [173]

Explanation:

As $I_{2}$ is a covalent compound because it is made up by the combination of two non-metal atoms. Atomic number of an iodine atom is 53 and it contains 7 valence electrons as it belongs to group 17 of the periodic table.

Therefore, sharing of electrons will take place when two iodine atoms chemically combine with each other leading to the formation of a covalent bonding.

Hence, weak forces like london dispersion forces will be present between a molecule of $I_{2}$ .

The weak intermolecular forces which can arise either between nucleus and electrons or between electron-electron are known as dispersion forces. These forces are also known as London dispersion forces and these are temporary in nature.

thus, we can conclude that london dispersion force is the major attractive force that exists among different $I_{2}$ molecules in the solid.

notka56 [123]

Answer:

The mass density will be doubled

Explanation:

Density is given by dividing the mass of a substance by its volume.
An increase in mass causes an increase in density and vice versa, while a decrease in volume causes an increase in density and volume.
Therefore, when the volume is halved, then the density will be doubled if the mass is kept constant.
This has no effect on the number of moles as the mass is constant.
