He was credited with discovering the subatomic particle also known as the electron in 1897.
Answer:
The sphere on the left as it has more mass.
Explanation:
Inertia is the resistance to changes of motion.
We write DE = q+w, where DE is the internal energy change and q and w are heat and work, respectively.
(b)Under what conditions will the quantities q and w be negative numbers?
q is negative when heat flows from the system to the surroundings, and w is negative when the system does work on the surroundings.
As an aside: In applying the first law, do we need to measure the internal energy of a system? Explain.
The absolute internal energy of a system cannot be measured, at least in any practical sense. The internal energy encompasses the kinetic energy of all moving particles in the system, including subatomic particles, as well as the electrostatic potential energies between all these particles. We can measure the change in internal energy (DE) as the result of a chemical or physical change, but we cannot determine the absolute internal energy of either the initial or the final state. The first law allows us to calculate the change in internal energy during a transformation by calculating the heat and work exchanged between the system and its surroundings.
Answer:
10.78 → 4 significant figures, pH = 10.78 → [H⁺] = 1.66ₓ10⁻¹¹ M
6.78 → 3 significant figures, pH = 6.78 → [H⁺] = 1.66ₓ10⁻⁷ M
0.78 → 2 significant figures, pH = 0.78 → [H⁺] = 0.166 M
pH always can be expressed by at least 4 significant figures. The [H⁺], can be expressed by, at least 3 significant figures
Explanation:
Significant figures are the numbers of a measurement that have certainty plus a doubtful number (it is associated with the uncertainty in the measurement). For example, if we measure a paper with a ruler and the ruler measures up to centimeters we can say that the paper is 7.5 cm long, with which we know that the paper is 7 cm + 0.5 cm which we associate with uncertainty. In this case we talk about two significant figures. If the sheet measured 7.57 cm we would already be talking about a more precise measurement and in this case with 3 significant figures.
10.78 → 4 significant figures
6.78 → 3 significant figures
0.78 → 2 significant figures
To determine [H⁺], we apply 10^-pH
10⁻¹⁰°⁷⁸ = 1.66ₓ10⁻¹¹ M
10⁻⁶°⁷⁸ = 1.66ₓ10⁻⁷ M
10⁻⁰°⁷⁸ = 0.166 M
