Two 15.Kg objects are placed at four different distances from each other. At which distance would the two objects have the stron

erica [24]

Answer:

The strongest gravitational attraction between the two objects will be experienced when the distance between the two objects is smallest.

Explanation:

According to Newton's law of universal gravitation, the force of attraction between two objects is proportional to the products of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance of separation between the two objects. This attraction between objects is known as gravity and it applies to all objects in the universe.

From the law of universal gravitation, since their is an inverse square relationship between gravitational force and the distance of separation between two interacting objects, an increase in the distance of separation will result in weaker gravitational forces. For example, if the distance of separation between two objects is increased by a factor of 2, then the force of gravitational attraction is decreased by a factor of 4 (since 2² = 4). However, if the distance of separation between the two objects is decreased by a factor of two, i.e. is halved, then the force of gravitational attraction is increased by a factor of 4.

Thus, the strongest gravitational attraction between the two objects will be experienced when the distance between the two objects is smallest.

Which statement regarding the second law of thermodynamics is true?

GREYUIT [131]

The Second Law of Thermodynamics says that processes that involve the transfer or conversion of heat energy are irreversible. ... The First Law of Thermodynamics states that energy cannot be created or destroyed; the total quantity of energy in the universe stays the same.

Using the Brønsted-Lowry concept of acids and bases, identify the Brønsted-Lowry acid and base in each of the following reaction

Luden [163]

Answer:

1. HSO³⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) → H₂SO₃(aq) + OH⁻(aq)

The Brønsted-Lowry acid is H₂O and the Brønsted-Lowry base is HSO³⁻

2. (CH₃)₃N(g) + BCl₃(g) → (CH₃)₃NBCl₃(s)

There are no Brønsted-Lowry acids and bases in this reaction.

Explanation:

According to the Brønsted-Lowry concept, when an acid (HA) and a base (B) undergoes a chemical reaction, the acid (HA) loses a proton and forms its conjugate base (A⁻), whereas the base gains (B) the proton to form its conjugate acid (HB⁺).

The chemical equation for this reaction is:

HA + B ⇌ A⁻ + HB⁺

Given reactions:

1. HSO³⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) → H₂SO₃(aq) + OH⁻(aq)

The Brønsted-Lowry acid is H₂O and the Brønsted-Lowry base is HSO³⁻

Reason: In this reaction, the acid H₂O loses a proton and forms its conjugate base, OH⁻. Whereas, the base HSO³⁻ gains a proton to form its conjugate acid, H₂SO₃.

2. (CH₃)₃N(g) + BCl₃(g) → (CH₃)₃NBCl₃(s)

There are no Brønsted-Lowry acids and bases in this reaction.

Reason: In this reaction, there is no exchange of proton between the acid and the base.

What is the stoichiometric coefficient for oxygen when the following equation is balanced using the lowest whole-number coeffici

rodikova [14]

Answer:

Option (B) 7

Explanation:

C3H6O2(l) + O2(g) → CO2(g) + H2O(l)

To know the coefficient of O2 in the above equation, let us balance the equation.

The above equation can be balance as follow:

C3H6O2(l) + O2(g) → CO2(g) + H2O(l)

There are 3 atoms of C on the left side and 1 atom on the right side. It can be balance by putting 3 in front of CO2 as shown below:

C3H6O2(l) + O2(g) → 3CO2(g) + H2O(l)

There are 6 atoms of H on the left side and 2 atoms on the right side. It can be balance by putting 3 in front of H2O as shown below:

C3H6O2(l) + O2(g) → 3CO2(g) + 3H2O(l)

There are a total of 4 atoms of O on the left side and a total of 9 atoms on the right side. It can be balance by putting 7/2 in front of O2 as show below:

C3H6O2(l) + 7/2O2(g) → 3CO2(g) + 3H2O(l)

Multiply through by 2

2C3H6O2(l) + 7O2(g) → 6CO2(g) + 6H2O(l)

Now, the equation is balanced.

From the balanced equation above, the coefficient of O2 is 7.
