<span>(symbol K)</span><span> Energy that an object possesses because it is in motion. It is the energy given to an object to set it in motion; it depends on the mass (</span>m) of the object and its velocity (v<span>), according to the equation K = 1/2 </span>mv2<span>. On impact, it is converted into other forms of energy such as heat, sound and light.</span>
When potential energy <u>decreases</u>, kinetic energy increases.
Answer:
Explanation:
ΔE = Δm × c^2
where,
ΔE = change in energy released with respect to change in mass
= 1.554 × 10^3 kJ
= 1.554 × 10^6 J
Δm = change in mass
c = the speed of light.
= 3 × 10^8 m/s
Equation of the reaction:
2H2 + O2 --> 2H2O
Mass change in this process, Δm = 1.554 × 10^6/(3 × 10^8)^2
= 1.727 × 10^-11 kg
The change in mass calculated from Einstein equation is small that its effect on formation of product will be negligible. Hence, law of conservation of mass holds correct for chemical reactions.
