Answer:

2.04 seconds.

Explanation:

We use an equation of motion of a body acting under gravity:

v = u + gt where u = initial velocity, g = acceleration due to gravity (9.81 m /s^-2) , v = final velocity and t = the time in seconds.

At the top of the upward journey v = 0 so we have:

0 = 20 - 9.81t (the g is negative because the gravity acts downwards).

9.81t = 20

t = 20/9.81

= 2.04 seconds.

A 0.4647-g sample of a compound known to contain only carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen was burned in oxygen to yield 0.01962 mol of

Scilla [17]

Answer:

The essence including its given problem is outlined in the following segment on the context..

Explanation:

The given values are:

Moles of CO₂,

x = 0.01962

Moles of water,

$\frac{y}{2} =0.01961$

$y=2\times 0.01961$

$=0.03922$

Compound's mass,

= 0.4647 g

Let the compound's formula will be:

$C_{x}H_{y}O_{z}$

Combustion's general equation will be:

⇒ $C_{x}H_{y}O_{z}+x+(\frac{y}{4}-\frac{z}{2}) O_{2}=xCO_{2}+\frac{y}{2H_{2}O}$

On putting the estimated values, we get

⇒ $12\times x=1\times y+16\times z=0.4647$

⇒ $12\times 0.01962+1\times 0.03922+16\times z=0.4647$

⇒ $0.27466+16z=0.4647$

⇒ $z=0.01187$

Now,

x : y : z = $0.01962:0.03922:0.01187$

= $\frac{0.01962}{0.0118}:\frac{0.03922}{0.0188}:\frac{0.0188}{0.0188}$

= $1.6:3.3:1.0$

= $3:6:2$

So that the empirical formula seems to be "C₃H₆O₂".

why do you think the experimenter conducted this experiment in a lab rather than in the natural world, where this phenomenon was

taurus [48]

Answer:

The experimenter observed this experiment in a lab rather than natural world because it might be dangerous to the atmosphere if he does the experiment in the natural world and it was still an hypothesis so that's why he did it in the lab.

Why does oxygen exist as a diatonic molecule and not simply the O atom

Brrunno [24]

Answer:

Oxygen exists as a diatomic molecule in nature when it is not combined with any other element. It forms O2 molecule because it is stable when it is uncombined. It has the lowest energy level when uncombined. ... By achieving octet configuration, the diatomic elements become more stable compared to the single atom.
