Two 2.0 cm by 2.0 cm metal electrodes are spaced 1.0 mm apart and connected by wires of the terminals of a 9.0 V battery.

a. What are the charge on each electrode and the potential difference between them?
b. If the wires are disconnected, and insulating handles are used to pull the plates apart to a new spacing of 2.0 mm, what are the charge on each electrode and the potential difference between them?
c. If instead, the plates from part a. remained connected to the battery while the insulating handles pull them apart to their new spacing of 2.0 mm, what are the charge on each electrode and the potential difference between them?

Aflask with vinegar in it has a mass of 160 grams. a balloon with baking soda in it has a mass of 40 grams. the balloon is attached to the flask to seal the opening and the vinegar and baking soda mixes. the balloon inflates to a large volume. what will the total mass of the balloon and flask be after the balloon inflates? explain. a) less than 200 grams because the solid baking soda disappears. b) 200 grams, because all the atoms remain in the balloon or flask. c) more than 200 grams because the size of the balloon is so much larger. d) less than 200 grams because gases such as the one in the balloon are lighter than solids and liquids.
