<span>10 times as much. Since F=m*a, and a is constant, the only thing that affects force is the mass.

In response to the below answer, the acceleration due to gravity does not change. The force due to gravity definitely DOES change depending on the mass of the object. Since the force is what the problem asks for, the answer is 10</span>

If this is happening on Earth, then the force of gravity between the Earth and the brick is 98 Newtons. It doesn't matter whether the brick is falling, rising, dropped in a vacuum, in water, or into chicken soup, or what else is dropped near it. None of that has any effect on the gravitational force between the Earth and the brick.

A 8.00g sample of substance (substance, molar mass = 152.0 g/mol) was combusted in a bomb calorimeter with a heat capacity of 6.

Answer:

ΔH°comb=-5899.5 kJ/mol

Explanation:

First, consider the energy balance:

$m_{c} *Cp*(T_{2}-T_{1})=-n_{s} *H_{c}$ Where $m_{c}$ is the calorimeter mass and $n_{s}$ is the number of moles of the samples; $H_{c}$ is the combustion enthalpy. The energy balance says that the energy that the reaction release is employed in rise the temperature of the calorimeter, which is designed to be adiabatic, so it is suppose that the total energy is employed rising the calorimeter temperature.
