What is the difference between mass and weight?

Chemistry

Olin [163]2 years ago

7 0

Explanation:

The mass of an object is a measure of the object's inertial property, or the amount of matter it contains. The weight of an object is a measure of the force exerted on the object by gravity, or the force needed to support it. The pull of gravity on the earth gives an object a downward acceleration of about 9.8 m/s2.

Which actions are part of a system of methodical tests and refinements specific to technological design? 1 documenting, tinkerin

telo118 [61]

Answer:

1. documenting, tinkering, testing

Explanation:

Technological design is defined as the process of study, design and development of new technologies.

There are some action in the methodical tests and refinements specific to technological design include documenting, tinkering, testing.

Documenting includes collecting all the information about the design and develop the product, tinkering involves repairing or adjust the issues found in the development, and testing helps to evaluate if the product is ready to work as it is supposed to.

Hence, the correct answer is "1."

Calcium bicarbonate (Ca(HCO3)2) Ca:H:C:O = 1:2:2 ___ Lithium sulfide (Li:2s) Li:S = 2:__

Anastaziya [24]

Answer: The ratio of atoms in calcium bicarbonate ; Ca : H : C : O = 1:2:2:6.

The ratio of atoms in lithium sulfide; Li : S = 2 : 1

Explanation:

In calcium bicarbonate: $Ca(HCO_3)_2$

In a molecular formula of calcium carbonate there are:

Number of Calcium atoms = 1

Number of Hydrogen atom = 1 × 2 = 2

Number of Carbon atoms = 1 × 2 = 2

Number of Oxygen atoms = 3 × 2 = 6

So, Ca : H : C : O = 1 : 2 : 2 : 6

In lithium sulfide : $Li_2S$

In a molecular formula of lithium sulfide there are:

Number of Lithium atoms = 1 × 2 = 2

Number of Sulfur atoms = 1

So, the Li : S = 2 : 1

PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!

Answer: 1. $2Al+3CuCl_2\rightarrow 2AlCl_3+3Cu$

2. 3 moles of $CuCl_2$ : 2 moles of $Al$

3. 0.33 moles of $CuCl_2$ : 0.92 moles of $Al$

4. $CuCl_2$ is the limiting reagent and $Al$ is the excess reagent.

5. Theoretical yield of $AlCl_3$ is 29.3 g

Explanation:

To calculate the moles :

$\text{Moles of solute}=\frac{\text{given mass}}{\text{Molar Mass}}$

$\text{Moles of} Al=\frac{25.0g}{27g/mol}=0.92moles$

$\text{Moles of} CuCl_2=\frac{45.0g}{134g/mol}=0.33moles$

The balanced chemical equation is:

$2Al+3CuCl_2\rightarrow 2AlCl_3+3Cu$

According to stoichiometry :

3 moles of $CuCl_2$ require = 2 moles of $Al$

Thus 0.33 moles of $CuCl_2$ will require= $\frac{2}{3}\times 0.33=0.22moles$ of $Al$

Thus $CuCl_2$ is the limiting reagent as it limits the formation of product and $Al$ is the excess reagent.

As 3 moles of $CuCl_2$ give = 2 moles of $AlCl_3$

Thus 0.33 moles of $CuCl_2$ give = $\frac{2}{3}\times 0.33=0.22moles$ of $AlCl_3$

Theoretical yield of $AlCl_3=moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=0.22moles\times 133.34g/mol=29.3$

Thus 29.3 g of aluminium chloride is formed.

Which is the average kinetic energy of the individual particles of a substance?

zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer: Temperature

Explanation: Temperature is a measure of average kinetic energy of particles in an object. The hotter the substance, higher is the average kinetic energy of its constituent particles. When we heat a substance, the particles that constitute the substance gain some energy and begin to move faster.
