1. Energy is expended when a force moves matter across a distance. True/False
Novosadov [1.4K]
1. True
2. True
3. False
4. True
5. True

3. Heat can be thought of as the movement of particles (molecules etc). The faster they move the hotter things are. Energy of movement is called kinetic energy. Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles, while thermal energy is the total kinetic energy of the particles.

A soft silvery metal has two naturally occurring isotopes: mass 84.9118, accounting for 72.15% and mass 86.9092, accounting for
zloy xaker [14]

Answer: The atomic weight of the metal would be 85.47.

Explanation:

Mass of isotope 1 of metal = 84.9118

% abundance of isotope 1 of metal = 72.15% = \frac{72.15}{100}

Mass of isotope 2 of metal= 86.9092

% abundance of isotope 2 of metal = 27.85% = \frac{27.85}{100}

Formula used for average atomic mass of an element :

\text{ Average atomic mass of an element}=\sum(\text{atomic mass of an isotopes}\times {{\text { fractional abundance}})

A=\sum[(84.9118)\times \frac{72.15}{100})+(86.9092)\times \frac{27.85}{100}]]

A=85.47

Therefore, the atomic weight of the metal would be 85.47.

Estimate the molar mass of a gas that effuses at 1.80 times the effusion rate of carbon dioxide. answer in units of g/mol.
Effectus [21]
From Grahams Law the rates of effusion of two gases are inversely proportional to the square roots of their molar masses at the same temperature and pressure.
Therefore; R1/R2 = √mm2/√mm1
The molecular mass of Carbon dioxide is 44 g
Hence;  1.8 = √(44/x
             3.24 = 44/x
                x = 44/3.24
                   = 13.58 
Therefore, the molar mass of the other gas is 13.58 g/mol

Which of the following errors could cause your percent yield to be falsely high, or even over 100%?
makkiz [27]

Answer:

B.Handling the crucible directly with your hands.

D.Taking the mass of the empty crucible without the lid, but including the lid in all other mass measurements.

E.Taking the mass of all samples with the lid included.

Explanation:

When observed critically , the measures associated with the errors which could cause your percent yield to be falsely high, or even over 100% are those which increase the weight of the substance with the individual neglecting.

Handling the crucible directly with your hands,Taking the mass of the empty crucible without the lid, but including the lid in all other mass measurements and taking the mass of all samples with the lid included will all increase the weight of the substance. Instead the substance should be placed alone without any form of support or contamination.

Why is a measured amount of water needed to determine the specific heat of a metal object?
shutvik [7]
This  is  because  absorbed  heat  energy or  released  by  water  is dependent on  mass of  water.
q=mc delta  T
where  q is  the amount  of  energy  required,   m  is  the  mass , C  is   the  specific  heat  capacity  and  delta  T is change  in  temperature.
