The right option is; b. mechanical
Mechanical energy is the best description of the energy of the ball as it flies over the pitcher’s head.
Mechanical energy is the energy that an object acquires due to its position or due to its motion. From the question, the baseball player has chemical potential energy (stored as food) which is transformed into work. As the baseball player hits the ball, there is energy exchange in which the ball acquires energy to perform its work. The energy obtained by the ball upon which work is done is called mechanical energy.
Answer:
There is 50.2 kJ heat need to heat 300 gram of water from 10° to 50°C
Explanation:
<u>Step 1: </u>Data given
mass of water = 300 grams
initial temperature = 10°C
final temperature = 50°C
Temperature rise = 50 °C - 10 °C = 40 °C
Specific heat capacity of water = 4.184 J/g °C
<u>Step 2:</u> Calculate the heat
Q = m*c*ΔT
Q = 300 grams * 4.184 J/g °C * (50°C - 10 °C)
Q = 50208 Joule = 50.2 kJ
There is 50.2 kJ heat need to heat 300 gram of water from 10° to 50°C
Answer: option D. the ability of a base to react with a soluble metal salt.
Justification:
NaOH is a strong base, which means that in water it will dissociate according to this reaction:
- NaOH(aq) → Na⁺ (aq) + OH⁻ (aq)
On the other hand, CuSO₄ is a soluble ionic salt which in water will dissociate into its ions according to this other reaction:
Hence, in solution, the sodium ion (Na⁺) will react with the metal salt in a double replacement reaction, where the highly reactive sodium ion (Na⁺) will substitute the Cu²⁺ in the CuSO₄ to form the sodium sulfate salt, Na₂SO₄ (water soluble), and the copper(II) hydroxide, Cu(OH)₂ (insoluble).
That is what the given reaction represents:
CuSO₄ (aq) + 2NaOH(aq) → Cu(OH)₂(s) + Na₂SO₄(aq)
