Lucia is playing with magnetic toy vehicles. She has two identical toy vehicles (purple and pink) that start on opposite sides o

f a center magnet that cannot move. She moves both vehicles one space closer to the center magnet.
How did the potential energy of the two vehicles change? Did the potential energy of one vehicle change more than the other? Why do you think so?

Answer:

The potential energy of the two vehicles increased because they were moved against the magnatic forces. The potential energy of the pink car increased more then the potential energy of the purple car because the pink car was closer to the center magnet.

Answer:

The potential energy of both toy vehicles (purple and pink) decreased. Since the pink toy was moved closer to the magnet, it will have less potential energy because of the short distance it will take to travel to the magnet. Although the purple toy is now closer to the magnet, it is still pretty far and will have a somewhat big potential energy when traveling to the magnet.

Phosphorus trichloride, PCl3, is commonly used in the chemical industry as a source of phosphorus in various reactions. Indicate
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

Electron pair geometry- tetrahedral

Molecular geometry- Trigonal Pyramidal

Explanation:

PCl3 has four electron domains on the outermost shell of the central atom in the molecule. This implies that it has a tetrahedral electron pair geometry according to Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion theory.

These four electron pairs are composed of three bond pairs and one lone pair. The presence of a lone pair of electrons leads to a trigonal pyramidal molecular geometry due to electron pair repulsions.

Erbium metal (Er) can be prepared by reacting erbium(III) fluoride with magnesium; the other product is magnesium fluoride. Writ
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

2ErF3 +3Mg = 3MgF2 + 2Er

Explanation:

This is a single replacement equation where there are 2 metals. The bonds are broken and new bonds are formed again by Mg and F.

Er has a +3 charge and F has a -1 charge. You switch it around and you get ErF3. Then you add the second reactant, Mg. The product is MgF as stated, and Mg has a charge of +2 and F has -1. You switch it again and you get MgF2. Then the second product Er is there.

Now we have

ErF3+Mg=MgF2+Er

So we balance the equation because of the law of conservation of mass.

Make F equal, so we add the coefficents 2 and 3

2ErF3+Mg=3MgF2+Er

And now Mg and Er need balancing so

2ErF3+3Mg=3MgF2+2Er

Hope this helped

Which of the following is a single replacement reaction? a. CaO + H2O yields Ca(OH)2 b. Mg + 2HNO3yields Mg(NO3)2 + H2 c. NaOH +
dalvyx [7]
The correct option is B. 
Single replacement reaction is a type of chemical reaction, in which one element is substituted for another element in a compound. There are usually two reactants, one is a pure element and the other one is an aqueous compound. The products formed is usually made up of another pure element and a new compound. In the option B, you will notice that, in the reactant part, Mg is a pure element while in the product side, H2 is a pure element.

Calculate the density in g/ml of 2.0 L of gasoline that weighs 1.32 kg
sveta [45]

Answer: 0.66 g/mL

Explanation: The formula for density is d= m/v where m=mass and v=volume.

The mass was given in the problem, m= 1.32kg

The volume was also given in the problem, v= 2.0L

d= m/v ---> d= 1.32kg/2.0L ---> d=0.66kg/L

The problem calls for the answer to be written in g/mL, so we must convert the units. 1 kg contains 1000g and 1 L contains 1000 mL.

1000g/1000mL = 1 so the units change but the 0.66 does not. Therefore, your answer is 0.66g/mL (Two significant figures because 2.0 only has 2 significant figures).
