A plane has a cruising speed of 100 miles per hour when there is no wind. At this speed, the plane flew 600 miles with the wind

in the same amount of time it flew 400 miles against the wind. find the speed of the wind

The solution for this problem is:
Let x = speed of wind

Speed of plane with the wind = x + 100

Speed of plane against the wind = 100 -x 

 We will be using the formula for distance which is (Rate)(Time), getting the formula for time would be distance/rate Time to travel 600 miles with the wind = Time to travel 400 miles against the wind 600/(x + 100) = 400/(100 - x)

 400(x + 100) = 600(100 - x)

 400x + 40000 = 60000 - 600x

 1000x = 20000

x = 20000/1000

 x = 20 mph

nadya68 [22]

Answer:

NaOH > Na3PO4 > NaNO3

Explanation:

in NaOH

23/40 * 100 = 57.5%

in Na3PO4

3 * 23/164 * 100 = 42%

In NaNO3

23/85 * 100 = 27.1%

Hence;

NaOH > Na3PO4 > NaNO3

For the cell constructed from the hydrogen electrode and metal-insoluble salt electrode, B) calculate the mean activity coeffici
Brut [27]

<u>Question:</u>

For the cell constructed from the hydrogen electrode and metal-insoluble salt electrode, B) calculate the mean activity coefficient for 0.124 b HCl solution if E=0.342 V at 298 K

<u>Answer:</u>

The mean activity coefficient for HCl solution is 0.78.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Activity coefficient is defined as the ratio of any chemical activity of any substance with its molar concentration. So in an electrochemical cell, we can write activity coefficient as γ. The equation for determining the mean activity coefficient is

              E=E_{0}-0.0514 \mathrm{V} \ln \gamma

As we know that E_{0} = 0.22 V and E = 0.342 V, the equation will become

             0.342 V+0.0514 V \ln (0.124)=0.22 V-0.0514 V \ln \gamma

             0.342 V-0.222 V=-0.0514 V(\ln \gamma+\ln 0.124)

             0.12 \mathrm{V}=-0.0514 \mathrm{V}(\ln \gamma+\ln 0.124)

             \frac{0.12}{0.0514}=-\ln (0.124 \gamma)

             -2.3346=\ln (0.124 \gamma)

             e^{-2.3346}=0.124 \gamma

             0.0968=0.124 \gamma

             \gamma=\frac{0.0968}{0.124}=0.78

So, the mean activity coefficient is 0.78.

denpristay [2]
The building with incandescent light bulbs would have higher energy bills because less than 10% of the bulb is used for light while the rest is given off as heat. Fluorescent light bulbs use ¼ as much energy and provide the same amount of light.

Which of the following substances would complete a circuit and allow electricity to flow?
Elza [17]

The substances which allow the current to flow in the circuit are:  

Lithium bromide in a solution and Graphite.  

Lithium bromide can be pass the current in the circuit, due to the ability to form ions in the solution Li⁺ and Br⁻ which are mobile and can transport the electrical charge.

In the graphite because of the presence of delocalised electrons, each carbon atom forms three covalent bonds with three other carbon atoms, it conducts electrical current.

In the case of potassium chloride lattice there are in a solid form and the atoms are not mobile so they can not form ions.  In the diamond all the carbon valences are satisfied so the electrical charge can not be transported.

Nitric oxide in a solution is isolated and can not transport the electrical current due to its inability of the to form ions .
