Question 1 of 25 Which sentence describes energy?

Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

energy is the capability or ability to do work

Explanation:

An object that possesses energy can exert a force on another object. When this happens, energy is transferred from the former to the latter. The second object may move as it receives energy and therefore does some work. Thus, the first object had the capacity to do work.

Develop a demonstration to show how weight is not the same thing as mass

maksim [4K]

Answer with Explanation:

"Mass" and "weight" should never be used interchangeably with each other. Mass refers to the total amount of matter that can be measured in an object, while weight refers to the measure of the force of gravity that is acting on the object's mass.

The mass of an object is constant (meaning, it doesn't change even if the object will be placed on another location) while the weight of an object relies on the force of gravity. So, this means that your mass on Earth and on the moon are identical, however, your weight on Earth and on the Moon are different. You will weigh lesser on the Moon because it has a lesser surface gravity than that of Earth.

So, this explains the answer.

2. Calculate the mass of 3.47x1023 gold atoms.

lapo4ka [179]

3.47 x $10^{23}$ atoms of gold have mass of 113.44 grams.

Explanation:

Data given:

number of atoms of gold = 3.47 x $10^{23}$

mass of the gold in given number of atoms = ?

atomic mass of gold =196.96 grams/mole

Avagadro's number = 6.022 X $10^{23}$

from the relation,

1 mole of element contains 6.022 x $10^{23}$ atoms.

so no of moles of gold given = $\frac{3.47 X 10^{23} }{6.022 X 10^{23} }$

0.57 moles of gold.

from the relation:

number of moles = $\frac{mass}{atomic mass of 1 mole}$

rearranging the equation,

mass = number of moles x atomic mass

mass = 0.57 x 196.96

mass = 113.44 grams

thus, 3.47 x $10^{23}$ atoms of gold have mass of 113.44 grams

What type of chemical bond holds the na+ and cl- ions together in table salt?

fredd [130]

The bond between Na + and Cl- ions is an ionic bond

To achieve stability, atoms with low ionization energy such as Na atoms will release electrons and bind to atoms with high-affinity energy such as Cl atoms

$\boxed{\boxed{\bold{Further~explanation}}}$

Atoms have different stability. Unstable atomic atoms will try to form stable electron configurations like those of noble gases. Where noble gases have the number of outer electrons 2 or 8

The formation of electron configurations such as noble gases can be done by forming shared ions or electron pairs

Atoms with high ionization energy and atoms that are difficult to draw electrons will form bonds with shared electron pairs (electrons can be from one atom or two atoms attached)

In forming ions, atoms will release or attract electrons

Ion bonds occur because atoms that have low ionization energy (easily release electrons) form a + ion, and these electrons are bound by atoms that have large affinity energy (easily pulling electrons)

Generally, ionic bonds occur in metal and nonmetallic elements. Metal elements have low ionization energy and non-metallic elements have a high electron affinity

In Na atoms, to achieve stability, Na will release one electron so that it has an electron configuration like noble gas Ne

Na: 2 8 1

Ne: 2 8

so that it becomes a Na + ion

While the Cl atom will bind one electron, so it has an electron configuration like noble gas Ar

Cl: 2 8 7

Ar: 2 8 8

So that it becomes a Cl- ion

Finally, there will be an attractive attraction between positive ions and negative ions and NaCl is formed

So the bond between Na + and Cl- ions is an ionic bond
