Mothballs in a clothes closet gradually disappear over time, because their components sublime.

Mothballs are small balls of chemical pesticide and deodorant, sometimes used in closets where clothes are susceptible to damage from mold or moths. Mothballs are usually made of naphthalene, 1,4-dichlorobenzene or camphor. What all the compounds have in common is that they sublime at room temperature. Sublimation is a physical change in which matter changes from the solid to the gas state. Once the components are in the gaseous state, the diffuse, and that's why there are no visible remainings over time.

A car is traveling at 50mph. How long will it take the car to travel 300 miles?

scoundrel [369]

Answer:

6 hours

Explanation:

If it is traveling at 50mph and needs to reah 300 miles, to figure this problem out you would want to divide 300 by 50 to get 6 hours. So it will take six hours until the car travels 300 miles

Hope this helps.

Which statement accurately describes how electrical power and voltage are

neonofarm [45]

Answer: B

Explanation:

According to Ohm's Law, the answer is B.

Ohm's Law states that power is equal to volume x current.

If volume x current equals power, that means they are both 50% of power.

Ohm's Law:

power = voltage x current

current = voltage x power

voltage = power x current

I hope this answer helped.

Suppose there are two known compounds containing the generic elements X and Y. You have a 1.00-g sample of each compound. One sa

Lapatulllka [165]

I think the correct answers are X2Y and X3Y, X2Y5 and X3Y5, and X4Y2 and X3Y, for the following reason:

If you look at the combining masses of X and Y in each of the two compounds,

The first compound contains 0.25g of X combined with 0.75g of Y
so the ratio (by mass) of X to Y = 1 : 3

The second compound contains 0.33 g of X combined with 0.67 g of Y
so the ratio (by mass) of X to Y = 1 : 2

Now, you suppose to prepare each of these two compounds, starting with the same fixed mass of element Y ( I will choose 12g of Y for an easy calculation!)

The first compound will then contain 4g of X and 12g of Y
The second compound will then contain 6g of X and 12g of Y

<span>The ratio which combined the masses of X and the fixed mass (12g) of Y
= 4 : 6
<span>or 2 : 3 </span>

So, the ratio of MOLES of X which combined with the fixed amount of Y in the two compounds is also = 2 : 3 </span>

The two compounds given with the plausible formula must therefore contain the same ratio.
