Objects have mechanical energyif they are in motion and/or if they are at some position relative to a zero potential energy position (for example, a brick held at a vertical position above the ground or zero height position). A moving car possesses mechanical energydue to its motion (kineticenergy).
The answer is C. 146g because you add all of the masses of the individual elements and then mulyiply by 1.72 to get your answer.
Explanation:
Ionic equation
NaCl(aq) --> Na+(aq) + Cl-(aq)
Na2SO4(aq) --> 2Na+(aq) + SO4^2-(aq)
In NaCl solution, 1 mole of Na+ is dissociated in 1 liter of solution while in Na2SO4, 2 moles of Na+ is dissociated in 1 liter of solution.
Molecular weight of NA2SO4 = (23*2) + 32 + (16*4)
= 142 g/mol
Molecular weight of NaCl = 23 + 35.5
= 58.5 g/mol
Masses
% Mass of NA+ in Na2SO4 = mass of Na+/total mass of Na2SO4 * 100
= 46/142 * 100
= 32.4%
% Mass of NA+ in NaCl = mass of Na+/total mass of NaCl * 100
= 23/58.5 * 100
= 39.3%
Therefore, the % mass of Na+ in NaCl and Na2SO4 are different so it cannot be used.
