How can a piece of wood floating on water illustrate the condition of lowest potential energy and maximum

Chemistry

Answer:

By minimizing the height of the body's center of gravity relative to its center of buoyancy

Explanation:

In hydrostatics, the equilibrium state of a floating body relates to either a maximum or minimum of the potential energy.An equilibrium is stable when the potential energy is minimum.Minimizing the height of the floating body's center of gravity relative to its center of buoyancy attains a stable equilibrium configuration.

Jane made this picture to represent a chemical reaction: Two circles, one white and the other gray are shown on the left. A smal
7nadin3 [17]

It represents a decomposition reaction because one reactant breaks apart and forms two products.

Explanation:

The type of chemical reaction depicted by Jane represents a decomposition reaction because on reactant breaks apart and forms two products.

In this reaction XY breaks apart to form X and Y. This is a decomposition reaction.

                     XY   →   X + Y

  • Decomposition or cracking is the formation of two or more products from a single reactant.
  • The break down of a compound into individual atoms or molecules falls into this category.
  • The extreme instability of a compound drives such a reaction.
  • The products is usually stable or it can dissociate further till it is stable.

kirill115 [55]
M=11.20 g
m(H₂)=0.6854 g
M(H₂)=2.016 g/mol
M(Mg)=24.305 g/mol
M(Zn)=65.39 g/mol
w-?

m(Mg)=wm
m(Zn)=(1-w)m

Zn + 2HCl = ZnCl₂ + H₂
m₁(H₂)=M(H₂)m(Zn)/M(Zn)=M(H₂)(1-w)m/M(Zn)

Mg + 2HCl = MgCl₂ + H₂
m₂(H₂)=M(H₂)m(Mg)/M(Mg)=M(H₂)wm/M(Mg)

m(H₂)=m₁(H₂)+m₂(H₂)
m(H₂)=M(H₂)(1-w)m/M(Zn)+M(H₂)wm/M(Mg)=M(H₂)m{(1-w)/M(Zn)+w/M(Mg)}

m(H₂)=M(H₂)m{(1-w)/M(Zn)+w/M(Mg)}

(1-w)/M(Zn)+w/M(Mg)=m(H₂)/{M(H₂)m}

1/M(Zn)-w/M(Zn)+w/M(Mg)=m(H₂)/{M(H₂)m}

w(1/M(Mg)-1/M(Zn))=m(H₂)/{M(H₂)m}-1/M(Zn)

w=[m(H₂)/{M(H₂)m}-1/M(Zn)]/(1/M(Mg)-1/M(Zn))

w=0.583 (58.3%)

Based on the products obtained, rank the functional groups (acetamido, amino, and methoxy) in order of increasing ability to act
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

Amino >Methoxy > Acetamido

Explanation:

Bromination is of aromatic ring is an electrophilic substitution reaction. The attached functional group to the benzene ring activates or deactivate the aromatic ring towards electrophilic substitution reaction.

The functional group which donates electron to the benzene ring through inductive effect or resonance effect activates the ring towards electrophilic substitution reaction.

The functional group which withdraws electron to the benzene ring through inductive effect or resonance effect deactivates the ring towards electrophilic substitution reaction.

Among given, methoxy and amino are electron donating group. Amino group are stronger electron donating group than methoxy group. Acetamido group because of presence of carbonyl group becomes electron withdrawing group.

Therefore, decreasing order will be as follows:

Amino >Methoxy > Acetamido
