Define potential energy and then explain what factors or variables cause potential energy to change

1 answer:

5 0

potential energy:
the energy possessed by a body by virtue by its position relative to others stresses within itself electric charge and other factors.
the formula for potential energy is "PE=mgh". Gravitational pull causes potential energy go change.

A compound is 52.0% zinc 9.6% carbon and 38.4% oxygen. Calculate the empirical formula of the compound.

skad [1K]

Answer:

So a compound is 52% Zinc(Zn), 9.6% Carbon(C), and 38.4% Oxygen (O). Let’s first start off by assuming that we have 100 g of this compound. This means that we have 52 g of Zinc, 9.6 g of Carbon, and 38.4 g of Oxygen.Zinc = 65.38 g/molCarbon = 12 g/molOxygen = 16 g/molThis means we have:52 g of Zn(1 mol Zn/65.38 g of Zn) ≈0.8 mol of Zn.9.6 g of C(1 mol C/12 g of C) = 0.8 mol of C38.4 g of O(1 mol of O/16 g of O) = 2.4 mol of O.

Explanation:

What we want to do next is divide each element by the common factor of all of them, which is 0.8. In most cases, you divide each element by the element with the least amount of moles. After we divide each by 0.8, you’ll notice you have 1 Zn, 1 C, and 3 O. This gives you the empirical formula of ZnCO3, or Zinc Carbonate.

How was potassium discovered?

BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

Potassium was the first metal to be isolated by electrolysis. It was discovered by the English chemist Sir Humphry Davy by decomposing molten potassium hydroxide (KOH) with a voltaic battery.

A 1.2516 gram sample of a mixture of caco3 and na2so4 was analyzed by dissolving the sample and completely precipitating the ca

Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

0.009725 moles of H2C2O4

0.009725 moles CaCO3

Mass percentage = 77.77%

Explanation:

Step 1: The balanced equation

2MnO4- +5C2H2O4+6H+ →2Mn2+ +10CO2+8H2O

We can see that for 2 moles of Mno4- consumed , there is 5 moles of C2H2O4 needed and 6 moles H+ to produce 2 moles Mn2+, 10 moles of CO2 and 8 moles of H2O

Step 2: Calculate moles of MnO4-

Molarity = Moles/volume

Moles of Mno4- = Molarity of MnO4- * Volume of Mno4-

Moles of Mno4- = 0.1092M * 35.62 *10^-3 L

Moles of MnO4- = 0.00389 moles

Step 3: Calculate moles of H2C2O4

Since there is needed 5 moles of C2H2O4 to consume 2 moles of MnO4-

then for 0.00389 moles of MnO4-, there is 5/2 *0.00389 = 0.009725 moles of H2C2O4

Step 4: Calculate moles of CaCO3

moles of H2C2O4 = moles CaCO3, therefore, 0.009725 moles H2C2O4 = 0.009725 moles CaCO3

Step 5: Calculate mass of CaCO3

Molar mass of CaCO3 = 100.09 g/mole

Mass of CaCO3 = moles of CaCO3 * Molar mass of CaCO3

Mass of CaCO3 = 0.009725 moles * 100.09 g/mole = 0.9734 g

Step 6: Calculate percentage by weight of CaCO3

Mass of CaCO3 = 0.9734g

Mass of original sample = 1.2516g

Mass percentage = 0.9734/1.2516 *100% = 77.77%

How many hydrogen grams can be obtained if

kipiarov [429]

hi im breanna

Answer:

The mole is simply a very large number that is used by chemists as a unit of measurement.

Explanation:

The mole is simply a very large number,

6.022

, that has a special property. If I have

6.022

hydrogen atoms, I have a mass of 1 gram of hydrogen atoms . If I have

6.022

molecules, I have a mass of 2 gram of hydrogen molecules. If I have

6.022

atoms, I have (approximately!) 12 grams.

The mole is thus the link between the micro world of atoms and molecules, and the macro world of grams and litres, the which we can easily measure by mass or volume. The masses for a mole of each element are given on the periodic table as the atomic weight. So, if have 12 g of
