Benzene is a non-polar molecule, meaning that it does not have a positive or negative side. Which statement BEST describes how benzene will dissolve in water? A) Benzene can only exist as a gas and gases will not dissolve in water. B) Benzene dissolves well in water since polar molecules dissolve well in polar solvents. C) Benzene will dissolve in water because water is a universal solvent; it will dissolve anything. D) Benzene will not dissolve well in water since non-polar molecules do not dissolve in polar solvents.

first let us lay out the formula for potential

and kinetic energy:

pe = mgh

ke = (mv^2)/2

where: m=mass, v=velocity, g=gravitational

acceleration, h=height

calculating for mass using the known values of

pe:

340j = m (9.81 m/s^2) (50ft) (1m/3.28ft)

m = 2.27 kg

the law of conservation of energy states that

energy is neither created nor destroyed. therefore, the change in kinetic

energy from 50 ft to 35 ft would be equal to the change in potential energy

from 50 ft to 35 ft. however it would be opposite in signs since one is losing

while other is gaining.

ke(35ft) – ke(50ft) = - [ pe(35ft) – pe(50ft]

ke(50ft) = 0 since the brick is initially at rest

ke(35ft) = 340j - 2.27kg (9.81 m/s^2) (35ft)

(1m/3.28 ft)

ke(35ft)

= 102.38 j
