From the gravitational law, calculate the weight W (gravitational force with respect to the earth) of a 70 kg spacecraft traveling in a circular orbit 275 km above the earth's surface. Express W in Newtons and pounds.

The  value in Newton is

The  value in pounds is    

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The  mass of the spacecraft is  

   The distance above  the earth is  

Generally the gravitational force with respect to the earth is mathematically represented as

Here is the mass of earth with value

        is the radius of the earth with value  

   G is the gravitational constant with value

So

Converting to  pounds

  the grams     of oxygen gas   that can be produced     is 20.6   grams of o₂

calculation

2liclo₃ →   2 licl + 3 o₂

step 1:   find the moles of liclo₃

moles = mass÷ molar mass

from periodic table the molar mass of liclo₃ =6.9 +35.5   +(16 x3) =90.4 g/mol

moles=38.7 g÷90.4 g/mol=0.4281   moles

step 2:   use the   mole ratio   to calculate the moles of o2

from equation above, liclo₃: o₂   is 2: 3  

therefore the moles of   o₂=0.4281 moles x3/2 =0.6422   moles

step 3: find mass   of o₂

mass= moles x molar mass

from periodic table the   molar mass of   o₂ = 16 x2= 32 g/mol

mass=0.6422   moles   x   32 g/mol = 20.6 grams of o₂
