Answer:

47911.1 pa

Explanation:

The SI base unit of pressure is pascal, which is N/m^2.

2200 kg is 2200*9.8=21560 N, and 4500 cm^2=4500/10000=0.45 m^2.

So the total pressure exerted on the ground (!!) is 21560/0.45= 47911.1 Pa.

Answer:

pressure =

47911.11 \:  \: pascals

Explanation:

here's the solution :-

force = weight of elephant.

=》f = mg

( where m = mass and g = acceleration due to gravity )

=》f = 2200 × 9.8

=》force = 21560 N

( note : acceleration due to gravity is also taken as approximate 10 , unless it is not mentioned in question we are taking it as 9.8 )

Area of footprint of elephant = 4500 cm^2

=》

\frac{4500}{10000} \:  meter {}^{2}

=》0.45 m^2

now,

=》pressure = mass ÷ area in contact

=》

p =  \frac{21560}{0.45}

=》

p = 47911.11 \: pascals

What is the speed of a man walking for 30 meters and he walked for 5 seconds ​
aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

<h2>6 m/s</h2>

Explanation:

The speed of the man can be found by using the formula

v =  \frac{d}{t}  \\

d is the distance

t is the time taken

From the question we have

v =  \frac{30}{5}  \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>6 m/s</h3>

Dinitrogen pentoxide gas is formed by the reaction of nitrogen trioxide gas and nitrogen dioxide gas balanced equation
leonid [27]

Answer:

Balanced chemical  equation:

NO₂ + NO₃ → N₂O₅

Explanation:

Chemical equation:

NO₂ + NO₃ → N₂O₅

Balanced chemical  equation:

NO₂ + NO₃ → N₂O₅

Nitrogen trioxide gas combine with nitrogen dioxide gas and form nitrogen pentoxide.

This is the simple synthesis reaction in which two substance combine to form a new substance.

Synthesis reaction:

It is the reaction in which two or more simple substance react to give one or more complex product.

General chemical equation:

A + B  → AB

A and B are reactants that combine to form AB product.

1. Sodium hydroxide reacts with carbon dioxide according to the equation: 2NaOH(s) + CO2(g) →
Leno4ka [110]

The limiting reagent when 5 g of NaOH and 4.4 g CO₂  allowed to react will be NaOH

<h3>What is Limiting reagent ?</h3>

The limiting reactant (or limiting reagent) is the reactant that gets consumed first in a chemical reaction and therefore limits how much product can be formed.

Given chemical equation in balanced form ;

2NaOH(s) + CO₂(g) → Na₂CO₃(s) + H₂O(l).

According to the Chemical equation ;

  • The limiting reagent when 5 g of NaOH and 4.4 g CO₂  allowed to react will be NaOH

    If 44 g CO₂ requires 80 g of NaOH, therefore, 4.4 g CO₂ will require atleast 8 g of NaOH.

    But the available quantity is 5 g NaOH. thus, NaOH is the Limiting reagent.

  • 6.625 g of Na₂CO₃ are expected to be produced 5.0 g of NaOH and 4.4 g of CO₂ are allowed to react

    As 80 g NaOH produces 106 g of Na₂CO₃.

    Therefore 5 g NaoH will produce ;

    106 / 80 x 5 = 6.625 g
