Answer:

Mass on the moon is 5.1 kg.

Explanation:

Given mass on earth = 5.1 kg

acceleration due to gravity on moon = 1.6 ms⁻².

The mass on the moon does not change because mass is the quantity of matter in the body regardless of its volume or of any forces acting on it.

Whereas the weight of the object changed.

Weight is the the force exerted on a body which is related to mass and expressed as W = mg.

W = weight of object m = mass of object and g = gravitational force

$So\ in\ this\ case\ W\ =1.6\times\ 5.1\ =8.16N$

N stands for newton unit of weight.

Thus mass of the object on moon is same as on earth which is 5.1 kg.

How much heat is needed to melt 10.0 grams of ice at -10°C until it is water at 10°C?

zhannawk [14.2K]

The heat needed to melt 10.0 grams of ice at -10°C until it is water at 10°C is 3,969.5 J. (approx= 3963J).

<h3>What is Sensible heat? </h3><h3 />

Sensible heat is defined as the amount of heat that a body absorbs or releases without any changes in its physical state.

Q= c×m×∆T

<h3>What is Latent heat? </h3><h3 />

Latent heat is defined as the energy required by a quantity of substance to change state.

When this change consists of changing from a solid to a liquid phase, it is called heat of fusion and when the change occurs from a liquid to a gaseous state, it is called heat of vaporization.

In this case, the heat Q that is necessary to provide for a mass m of a certain substance to change phase is equal to

Q= m×L

Where,

L is the latent heat

C= specific heat capacity of ice= 2.108 J/gK

M= 10 g

ΔT= T(final)– T(initial) = 0 °C – (-10 °C)= 10 °C= 10 K

Sensitive heat Q(1) = 2.108×10×10

= 210.8J

<h3>Heat needed to melt ice</h3><h3 />

The specific heat of melting of ice is 334 J/g, the heat needed to melt 10 grams of ice is

Q(2) = 10× 334

= 3340J

C= specific heat capacity of liquid water is 4.187 J/gK

M= 10 g

ΔT= T(final) – T(initial) = 10 °C – 0 °C= 10 °C= 10 K because being a temperature difference, the difference is the same in °C and K.

Q(3) = 4.187×10×10

= 418.7 J.

Total heat required= Q1 + Q2 + Q3

Total heat required= 210.8 J + 3,340 J + 418.7 J

= 3969.5J

Thus, the heat needed to melt 10 gram of ice from temperature-10°C to 10°C is 3969.5. Therefore, option B is correct option.

When was the idea of an atom first developed? Describe this theory.

malfutka [58]

The existence of an atom was first suggested by Democritus, the idea is then developed in 1803 by John Dalton.

According to Dalton's atomic theory, matter is made up of atoms which are inseparable and can not be destroyed further. For a given element, all atoms have identical mass and properties. Atoms of two different elements combine to form compounds and rearrangement of these atoms results in chemical reaction.

How many moles of O2 are needed to react with 2.35 mol of C2H2?

Mrrafil [7]

2 C2H2 + 5 O2 --> 4 CO2 + 2 H2O

2.35 mol C2H2 - x mol O2
2 mol C2H2 - 5 mol O2

$x = \frac{2.35 \times 5}{2} = 5.875 \: mol$
answer: 5.875 mol

A student environmental group is creating a campaign for locally sourced energy resources.

Cloud [144]

Answer: The correct option is B. A farmer with a field of solar panels

Explanation: Since the question says that the students are related to environmental group so they must run a campaign for the renewable energy resources and avoid the use of natural non renewable resources. coal, gas and many others like these are non renewable sources of energy. A farmer using solar panels in his field must be appreciated because he is using an environment friendly source of energy.
