Benny wonders why when he presses his finger against a map nothing

Chemistry
1 answer:
AnnyKZ [126]3 years ago
6 0

The pressure exerted on a surface by an object increases as the surface area of contact decreases.

Explanation:

Pressure measures the amount of force exerted per a given area of an object. From this definition, the surface area of the object and force applied, affects the pressure applied.

As Benny presses his finger against a map, nothing happens to the map because the force applied is affected by the increased surface area of his finger. However as he presses a thumbtack into the map using the same force the tack will probably poke a hole in the map because the small( decreased) surface area of the sharp point of the thumbtack produces a much larger pressure on the map than the area of Benny finger. I hope this helps, thanks!

adoni [48]

Answer:

36.09% is the mass percent composition of calcium in calcium chloride

Explanation:

Mass percent is defined as one hundred times the ratio between the mass of a compound (In this case, Calcium), and the total mass of the sample:

<em>Mass Percent = Mass compound / Total mass of the sample × 100</em>

<em />

Computing the values of the problem:

Mass Percent = 0.690g / 1.912g * 100

Mass percent =

Kobotan [32]

<u><em>Answer:</em></u>

  • The correct option is C.
  • Formation of a precipitate

<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>

During a chemical reaction, new substances are formed known as a products, mostly reaction occur and their product is obtained as precipitates.

<u><em>Example</em></u>

Arylidene-2-thiobarbituric acid is obtained as precipitates when aldehyde and thiobarbituric acid react to each other.

melting of a substance

It is just indication of physical changes, like melting of ice, composition remained same as before.

boiling of a substance

It is just indication of physical changes, like boiling of water into vapors, composition remained same as before.

freezing of a substance

It is just indication of physical changes, like freezing of water into ice, composition remained same as before
