Define potential energy

Chemistry
2 answers:
pashok25 [27]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Potential energy is stored energy meaning something is waiting to come out and when it does it will turn into kinetic energy.

Say you had a bow in arrow when you pull that back and are waiting to let it go that is potential energy and then when you do let it go it turns into kinetic.

Potential energy is electrical,chemical,nuclear and mechanical energy it is also gravitational energy.

You could also say potential energy is a object being held depending on it's position like when a roller coaster stops at the top ,that is potential energy and then  when it goes down it again turns into kinetic.

Usually all the time potential energy will always turn into kinetic energy.

Hope this helps have a great day:)

Based on the reactivities of the elements involved, which reaction will form products that are more stable than the reactants?
MrRa [10]

Answer:

Exothermic reaction

Explanation:

Since in an exothermic reaction heat is released, the products will be more stable than the reactants.

If 12.6 grams of iron (III) oxide reacts with 9.65 grams of carbon monoxide to produce 7.23 g of pure iron, what are the theoret
Mariana [72]
The balanced equation is Fe₂O₃ + 3 CO = 2 Fe + 3 CO₂.
Next step is to convert everything to moles.
12.6g Fe₂O₃ x (1 mol Fe₂O₃ / 159.7g Fe₂O₃) = 0.07890 mol Fe₂O₃ 
9.65g CO x (1 mol CO / 28.01g CO) = 0.3445 mol CO
The third step is to determine the limiting and excess reactants.
0.07890 mol Fe₂O₃ x (3 mol CO/1 mol Fe₂O₃) = 0.2367 mol CO
Therefore Fe₂O₃ is the limiting reagent while CO is in excess.

0.07890 mol Fe x (2 mol Fe(s) / 1 mol Fe₂O₃) = 0.1578 mol Fe(s) 
0.1578 mol Fe x (55.84g Fe / mole Fe) = 8.812g Fe is the theoretical yield
%yield = (7.23g / 8.812g) x 100% = 82.0% is the percent yield

Based on patterns in the periodic table, which ion has a stable valence electron configuration?
kifflom [539]

The ions of Noble gases, <em>group VIII</em> elements have a full octet configuration on their outermost shell and as such are highly stable.

The periodic table is a systematic arrangement of elements in order of their atomic numbers into a set of 8 columns each called groups and a set of 7 rows each called a period.

Elements are arranged in different groups according to the number of Valence electrons they have.

  • For instance, elements in the group I of the periodic table are highly electropositive and as such are highly reactive.

The same is evident in group 7 elements are highly electronegative and have high electron affinity and as such are unstable and reactive.

  • However, Noble gases, <em>group VIII</em> elements have a full octet configuration on their outermost shell and as such are highly stable.

Consequently, the <em>Noble gases ion</em> has a stable Valence electron configuration.
