A boulder sits at rest on top of a mountain. What conclusion can be made about the forces acting on the boulder

Chemistry
1 answer:
Stells [14]3 years ago
3 0

Explanation:

Since, the boulder is at rest. This means that there is an equilibrium of forces acting on the boulder.

According to principle of equilibrium of forces a body can be in position of rest only when net force acting on body is zero for translation equilibrium and net moment acting on the body must also be zero for rotational equilibrium.

Therefore, net forces and net moment acting on the boulder is zero.

A sudstance particle with no charge
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

Neutron

Explanation:

Neutron, neutral subatomic particle that is a constituent of every atomic nucleus except ordinary hydrogen. It has no electric charge and a rest mass equal to 1.67493 × 10−27 kg—marginally greater than that of the proton but nearly 1,839 times greater than that of the electron.

Identify the charge carried by a phosphide ion
insens350 [35]

Answer : The charge carried by a phosphide ion is, (-3)

Explanation :

In phosphide ion, the (-ide) indicates that the phosphide ion is the anion of phosphorous. So, we will have to add electrons.

As we know that the phosphorous belongs to group 5 and have 5 valence electrons.

The atomic number of phosphorous = 15

The electronic configuration of phosphorous is, 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^3

In phosphorous, the 'p' sub-shell is half filled. For fully filled 'p' sub-shell, we will need '3' electrons. By adding 3 electrons in 'p' sub-shell of phosphorous, (-3) charge will be created on phosphorous and named as phosphide ion.

Phosphide ion is written as, P^{3-}

Explain how the law of conservation of mass allows you to interpret a balanced chemical equation in terms of mass.
loris [4]

Balancing the coefficients means that the number of atoms are the same on each side which means that the masses of reactants and products are equal.

Hope this helps :))

What is a substitute for Epsom salt
Nastasia [14]
Real salt, sodium chloride - the kind you eat - might be too drying. You can find epsom salts, magnesium sulphate, at any drug store and most grocery stores in the first aid section. Usually the packaging looks like a milk carton.

When 1.008 g of hydrogen reacts with chlorine in a calorimeter containing 500.00 g water, the
jeyben [28]

The heat released by reaction : C) -8870 J

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

1.008 g of hydrogen

500.00 g water

The temperature rises 25.00 °C to 29.24 °C

Required

energy required

Solution

Q absorbed by water :

Q = m.c.Δt

Q = 500 g x 4.18 J/g C x (29.24-25)

Q = 8870.08 J

The reaction to produce HCl is an exothermic reaction (releasing heat), so that Q is negative

Q water = -Q HCl = -8870.08 J
