Options :

The upward force is greater than the downward force.

The downward force is greater than the upward force.

The rightward force is greater than the leftward force.

The leftward force is greater than the rightward force.

Answer:

The downward force is greater than the upward force.

Explanation:

When the player jumps to dunk a basket ball, it requires an upward force exerted on the person due to the push by the person to jump, after dunking the basket ball, the player attains maximum height, where his final velocity becomes zero and his direction changes (from upward to downward), at this point his velocity increases due to the additional force exerted on the player due to the Earth's Gravitational pull - which is a downward force which acts on an object).

Hence, it could be concluded that the increase in speed of the basketball player as she returns to the ground means that the downward force is greater than the upward force acting on the player.

Answer:

$\boxed{\text{47.4 g}}$

Explanation:

We are given the mass of two reactants, so this is a limiting reactant problem.

We know that we will need mases, moles, and molar masses, so, let's assemble all the data in one place, with molar masses above the formulas and masses below them.

M_r: 17.03 32.00 18.02

4NH₃ + 5O₂ ⟶ 4NO + 6H₂O

m/g: 70.1 70.1

Step 1. Calculate the moles of each reactant

$\text{Moles of CO } = \text{70.1 g} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol}}{\text{17.03 g}} = \text{4.116 mol}\\\\\text{Moles of H$_{2}$O} = \text{70.1 g} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol}}{\text{32.00 g}} = \text{2.191 mol}$

Step 2. Identify the limiting reactant

Calculate the moles of H₂O we can obtain from each reactant.

From NH₃:

The molar ratio of H₂O:NH₃ is 6:4.

$\text{Moles of H$_{2}$O} = \text{4.116 mol NH$_{3}$} \times \dfrac{\text{6 mol H$_{2}$O}}{\text{4 mol NH$_{3}$}} = \text{6.174 mol H$_{2}$O}$

From O₂:

The molar ratio of H₂O:O₂ is 6:5.

$\text{Moles of H$_{2}$O} = \text{2.191 mol O$_{2}$} \times \dfrac{\text{6 mol H$_{2}$O}}{\text{5 mol O$_{2}$}} = \text{2.629 mol H$_{2}$O}$

O₂ is the limiting reactant because it gives the smaller amount of H₂O.

Step 3. Calculate the theoretical yield.

$\text{Theor. yield } = \text{2.629 mol H$_{2}$O}\times \dfrac{\text{18.02 g H$_{2}$O}}{\text{1 mol H$_{2}$O}} = \textbf{47.4 g H$_{2}$O}\\\\\text{The maximum yield of H$_{2}$O is }\boxed{\textbf{47.4 g}}$

Name 2 separate problems that occur when a sample for infrared analysis is contaminated with water.

Andreyy89

Explanation:

The water molecules gets trapped in the crystal structure to be analysed and will give a peak in the spectra at about 3500 /cm , and there by hindering with the IR spectra of the sample to be analysed .
The second problem with the contamination of the sample with water is , that water makes the potassium bromide disc opaque which will decrease the absorption of the IR by the sample .

Aluminum metal reacts with aqueous cobalt(II) nitrate to form aqueous aluminum nitrate and cobalt metal. What is the stoichiomet

Lelu [443]

Answer:

the stoichiometric coefficient for cobalt is 3

Explanation:

the unbalanced reaction would be

Co(NO₃)₂+ Al → Al(NO₃)₃ + Co

One way to solve is to build a system of linear equations for each element (or group as NO₃) , knowing that the number of atoms of each element is conserved.

For smaller reactions a quick way to solve it can be:

- First the Co as product and as reactant needs to have the same stoichiometric coefficient

- Then the Al as product and as reactant needs to have the same stoichiometric coefficient

- After that we look at the nitrates . There are 2 as reactants and 3 as products . Since the common multiple is 6 then multiply the reactant by 3 and the product by 2.

Finally the balanced equation will be

3 Co(NO₃)₂+ 2 Al → 2 Al(NO₃)₃ + 3 Co

then the stoichiometric coefficient for cobalt is 3
