Answer: 150N

Explanation:

The formula to calculate the force will be the mass multiplied by the acceleration. In this case, mass = 15kg and acceleration = 10m/s². Therefore, force will be:

= Mass × Acceleration

= 15 × 10

= 150N

The force is 150Newton

One liter of oxygen gas at standard temperature and pressure has a mass of 1.43 g. The same volume of hydrogen gas under these c

Alchen [17]

Answer:

Indeed, the two samples should contain about the same number of gas particles. However, the molar mass of $\rm O_2\; (g)$ is larger than that of $\rm H_2\; (g)$ (by a factor of about $16$ .) Therefore, the mass of the $\rm O_2\; (g)$ sample is significantly larger than that of the $\rm H_2\; (g)$ sample.

Explanation:

The $\rm O_2\; (g)$ and the $\rm H_2\; (g)$ sample here are under the same pressure and temperature, and have the same volume. Indeed, if both gases are ideal, then by Avogadro's Law, the two samples would contain the same number of gas particles ( $\rm O_2\; (g)$ and $\rm H_2\; (g)$ molecules, respectively.) That is:

$n(\mathrm{O_2}) = n(\mathrm{H}_2)$ .

Note that the mass of a gas $m$ is different from the number of gas particles $n$ in it. In particular, if all particles in this gas have a molar mass of $M$ , then:

$m = n \cdot M$ .

In other words,

$m(\mathrm{O_2}) = n(\mathrm{O_2}) \cdot M(\mathrm{O_2})$ .
$m(\mathrm{H_2}) = n(\mathrm{H_2}) \cdot M(\mathrm{H_2})$ .

The ratio between the mass of the $\rm O_2\; (g)$ and that of the $\rm H_2\; (g)$ sample would be:

$\begin{aligned}& \frac{m(\mathrm{O_2})}{m(\mathrm{H_2})} = \frac{n(\mathrm{O_2})\cdot M(\mathrm{O_2})}{n(\mathrm{H_2})\cdot M(\mathrm{H_2})}\end{aligned}$ .

Since $n(\mathrm{O_2}) = n(\mathrm{H}_2)$ by Avogadro's Law:

$\begin{aligned}& \frac{m(\mathrm{O_2})}{m(\mathrm{H_2})} = \frac{n(\mathrm{O_2})\cdot M(\mathrm{O_2})}{n(\mathrm{H_2})\cdot M(\mathrm{H_2})} = \frac{M(\mathrm{O_2})}{M(\mathrm{H_2})}\end{aligned}$ .

Look up relative atomic mass data on a modern periodic table:

$\rm O$ : $15.999$ .
$\rm H$ : $1.008$ .

Therefore:

$M(\mathrm{O_2}) = 2 \times 15.999 \approx 31.998\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}$ .
$M(\mathrm{H_2}) = 2 \times 1.008 \approx 2.016\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}$ .

Verify whether $\begin{aligned}& \frac{m(\mathrm{O_2})}{m(\mathrm{H_2})}= \frac{M(\mathrm{O_2})}{M(\mathrm{H_2})}\end{aligned}$ :

Left-hand side: $\displaystyle \frac{m(\mathrm{O_2})}{m(\mathrm{H_2})}= \frac{1.43\; \rm g}{0.089\; \rm g} \approx 16.1$ .
Right-hand side: $\displaystyle \frac{M(\mathrm{O_2})}{M(\mathrm{H_2})}= \frac{31.998\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}}{2.016\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}} \approx 15.9$ .

Note that the mass of the $\rm H_2\; (g)$ sample comes with only two significant figures. The two sides of this equations would indeed be equal if both values are rounded to two significant figures.

icang [17]

It is a scientific hypothesis. A scientific hypothesis must be testable, however there is a significantly more grounded necessity that a testable speculation must meet before it can truly be viewed as logical. This foundation comes essentially from crafted by the rationalist of science Karl Popper, and is called "falsifiability".
