I think it's false I'm just guessing
What are the following options?
I think it would be useful because then a gas station would have to save gas, instead of selling it all. But, for this question Im not to sure. Is this a multiple choice question_
Answer:
Acceleration is :
a = 2.89 m/s2
Explanation:
Acceleration : It is the change in the velocity of the object per unit time.
The object starts from the rest , so the initial velocity of the object is zero.
Initial velocity , u = 0
Final velocity = 100 km/h
Change the velocity to m/s because[ time unit is in second(9.60 s)]
1 km = 1000 m
1 hour = 60 x 60 sec = 3600 sec
v = 27.78 m/s
u = 0 m/s
time = 9.60 s
The acceleration"a" is calculated using :
Epsom salt is MgSO4.
We assume x water of hydration in the crystalline form.
Molecular mass of MgSO4 = 24+32+4*16=120
Molecular mass of MgSO4.xH2O = 120+18x
By proportion,
2.000/0.977 = (120+18x)/120
Cross multiply
0.977(120+18x) = 120*2.000
from which we solve for x
17.586x+117.24 = 240
x=122.78/17.586
=6.980
Answer: there are 7 water of hydration in Epsom salt, according to the experiment.
Note: more accurate (proper) results may be obtained by using exact values (3-4 significant figures) in the molecular masses. However, since water of hydration is the nearest integer, using approximate values (to at least two significant figures) suffice.
