In order for the molecules to actually separate from each other, more energy must be added. This energy, called heat of fusion or heat of melting, is absorbed by the particles as potential energy as the solid changes to a liquid. I hope this helps

What are the magnitude (size) and direction of the cumulative force acting on the car shown in the picture A. 30 N to the right
UNO [17]

Answer: The correct answer is option(A).

Explanation:

Total forces exerting on the car = F

F_r=50 N= Force on car exerting in right direction

F_l=20 N= Force on car exerting in left direction

F_u=2500 N= Force on car exerting in upward direction

F_d=2500 N= Force on car exerting in downward direction

F=F_r+F_l+F_u+F_d

(-F_u)=F_d (negative sign shows the direction)

Since, upward force are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction by which they will balance out each other.so, the net force car will be due to two forces F_r and F_l

F=F_r+F_l=50 N+(-20 N)=30 N(negative shows the direction)

The magnitude (size) and direction of the cumulative force acting on the car will 30 N towards right direction.Hence, correct answer is option(A).

Carbon reacts with steam (h2o) at high temperatures to produce hydrogen and carbon monoxide. if 2 mol of carbon are exposed to 3
Ne4ueva [31]
The balanced equation for the above reaction is as follows;
C + H₂O ---> H₂ + CO
stoichiometry of C to H₂O is 1:1
1 mol of C reacts with 1 mol of H₂O
we need to find which is the limiting  reactant
2 mol of C and 3.1 mol of H₂O
therefore C is the limiting reactant and H₂O is in excess.
stoichiometry of C to H₂ is 1:1
then number of H₂ moles formed are equal to C moles reacted
number of H₂ moles formed = 2 mol

(5.0 m3) ( 7.5 mmHg) = (P)(4.0m3)
anzhelika [568]

It looks like we are solving for a pressure.  All that is required is some algebraic manipulation to find our pressure in mmHg.

Given:

(5.0 m³)(7.5 mmHg) = (P)(4.0m³)

Multiply:

37.5 = 4.0P

Divide:

9.375 = P

P = 9.4 mmHg (remember sig figs)

<h3>Answer:</h3>

9.4 mmHg

13) Find the mass, in grams, of 5.75 liters of N2.
faltersainse [42]
Molecular weight of N2
gram Atomic weight of N is 14 g.
gram Molecular weight = 14 g×2
= 28 g
Liter concepts
1 liter of gas always occupies 1 gram molecular weight .
Application of the concept
5.75 liter gives 0.257g


1 mole will occupy 28 g

0.257 will occupy 28 g × 0.257
= 7.196 g

The mass of the gas is 7.196 g.

Hope it helps you
