Answer:

<h2>e. 7.1 MN  approx.</h2>

Explanation:

Step one:

given data

density of water= 1000kg/m^3

the dimension of the barge

width= 10m

length= 60m

depth of the boat in the water= 1.2m

Hence the volume occupied by the boat is

volume=10*60*1.2

volume= 720m^2

Step two:

Required is the weight of the barge

we can first find the mass using the relation

density = mass/volume

mass= density*volume

mass= 1000*720

mass= 720000kg

Step three:

Weight =mg

g=9.81m/s^2

W=720000*9.81

W=7063200N

divided by 10^6

W=7.06MN

W=7.1MN approx.

Suppose a container holds 1000 hydrogen molecules and 1000 oxygen molecules that react to form water. how many water molecules w
Murrr4er [49]

The reaction is:

H_{2} +  \frac{1}{2} O_{2} =  H_{2}O

From the equation, he limiting reactant is the oxygen. Assuming 100% yield, all of the oxygen must react to form water.

1000 mol O_{2} * (1 mol H_{2}O ÷ ½ mol O_{2}) = 2000 moles water produced

Black_prince [1.1K]
Atomic Number is 7, because isotopes contain the same number of protons. The mass number is 17, because protons + neutrons = mass number.
