Answer:
D.) Mg(NO₃)₂
Explanation:
Since magnesium (Mg) is a metal and nitrate (NO₃) is a polyatomic anion, they would combine to form an ionic compound. Magnesium would form the cation Mg²⁺ because it generally has 2 valence electrons. Nitrate always has a -1 charge.
In order for the overall compound to be neutral (have a charge of 0), there must be one Mg²⁺ and two NO₃⁻ ions in the compound (+2 + (-1) + (-1) = 0).
Therefore, the formula for the compound formed is Mg(NO₃)₂.
Talc is not a good choice when building a statue because the mineral Talc is one of the weakest minerals on the Mohs Scale with a hardness of 1 since it could be scratched by a fingernail, which means that when people build a statue with Talc, it could be easily broken down.
Answer:
= 3132.9 Joules
Explanation:
- Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a body when in motion.
- Kinetic energy is calculated by the formula; K.E = 1/2 mV², where m is the mass of the body or object, and V is the velocity.
- Therefore kinetic energy depends on the mass and the velocity of the body or the object in motion.
In this case;
Kinetic energy = 0.5 × 0.018 kg × 590²
<u>= 3132.9 Joules</u>
Answer: % Errror = 11.05%
Explanation:
Percentage error is the difference between the measured value and the theoretical value as expressed in percent.
That is;
% Error =
( Theoretical value -measured value) /(Theoretical value) × 100
Theoretical value =55.2kJ
Measured value = 49.1kJ
% Error = (55.2-49.1)/(55.2) ×100
%Error = 6.1/55.2 ×100
% Error = 0.1105 ×100
% Error = 11.05
Therefore the percentage error is 11.05%
