Answer:

Gravitational force of attraction.

Explanation:

When two bodies of masses 'm' and 'M' are separated by a distance 'r', then both the bodies experience a force of attraction towards each other. This force of attraction is called gravitational force. It is a weak force but it always act between two bodies that have mass.

The magnitude of the gravitational force is directly proportional to product of the masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the masses.

This means that as the distance between the bodies is increases, the gravitational force between the bodies decreases and vice versa.

The gravitational force of attraction is given as:

$F_g=\frac{GmM}{r^2}\\\\G\to \textrm{Universal Gravitational constant}$

Ionic crystals are excellent insulators and can hold a large amount of heat before melting or boiling.

sweet-ann [11.9K]

It is a true fact that ionic crystals are excellent insulators and can hold a large amount of heat before melting or boiling. The correct option among the two options that are given in the question is the first option. Salt is a great example of ionic crystals and we know that it takes a huge amount of time to melt or boil.

Predict which member of each pair will be more acidic. Explain your answers. (a) methanol or tert-butyl alcohol (b) 2-chloroprop

Art [367]

Answer:

A. Methanol

B. 2-chloropropan-1-ol

C. 2,2-dichloroethanol

D. 2,2-difluoropropan-1-ol

Explanation:

Primary alcohols are stronger acids than secondary alcohols which are stronger than tertiary alcohols.

This trend is so because of the stability of the alkoxide ion formed(stabilising the base, increases the acidity). A more stabilised alkoxide ion is a weaker conjugate base (dissociation of an acid in water).

By electronic factors, When there are alkyl groups donating electrons, the density of electrons on th O- will increase a d thereby make it less stable.

By stearic factors, More alkyl group bonded to the -OH would mean the bulkier the alkoxide ion which would be harder to stabilise.

Down the group of the periodic table, basicity (metallic character) decreases as we go from F– to Cl– to Br– to I– because that negative charge is being spread out over a larger volume that is electronegativity decreases down the group.

Electronegative atoms give rise to inductive effect and a decrease in indutive effects leads to a decrease in acidity. Therefore an Increasing distance from the -OH group lsads to a decrease in acidity.

From above,

A. Methanol

B. 2-chloropropan-1-ol

C. 2,2-dichloroethanol

D. 2,2-difluoropropan-1-ol

1) A light bulb takes in 30 of energy per second. It transfers 3j as use

natta225 [31]

Answer:

$\boxed{\text{10 \%}}$

Explanation:

The formula for efficiency is

$\begin{array}{rcl}\text{Efficiency} & = & \dfrac{\text{useful energy out}}{\text{energy in}} \times 100 \,\% \\\\\eta & = & \dfrac{w_{\text{out}}}{w_{\text{in}} } \times 100 \,\%\\\end{array}$

Data:

Useful energy = 3 J

Energy input = 30 J

Calculation:

$\begin{array}{rcl}\eta & = & \dfrac{\text{3 J}}{\text{30 J}} \times 100 \,\%\\\\\eta & = & 10 \, \%\\\end{array}\\\text{ The efficiency is }\boxed{\textbf{10 \%}}$
