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

By making several measurements with the same balance, a chemist obtained values of 5.224 g, 5.235 g, and 5.259 g for the mass of
stepan [7]

Answer:

a) Measurements have a good precision.

Explanation:

Accuracy is the proximity of the data to the value considered as real, in this situation we do not know the real value and we do not know if the data is accurate or not, so we can discard options b and d.

Now, precision is the proximity of the data obtained among themselves and that is what we can observe, so the appropriate answer is the option a.

#1: How are the elements arranged in the modern periodic table?
Alekssandra [29.7K]

1- The correct answer is C :


the elements arranged in the modern periodic table by increasing atomic number.


The explanation:


-The elements in the periodic table are arranged to increase the atomic number. All of these elements display several other trends and we can use the periodic law and table formation to predict their chemical, physical, and atomic properties.


2- The correct answer is C:


strontium, magnesium, calcium, beryllium are the elements which have similar properties.


The explanation:

-strontium, magnesium, calcium, beryllium, these belong to the alkaline earth metal group.

Because the outer electron structure in all of these elements is similar, they all have somewhat similar chemical and physical properties .

3- The correct answer is A :


Potassium


The explanation:


-The elements potassium and sodium have similar chemical properties because they have the same number of valence electrons and form +1 ions.



4- The correct answer is D


The explanation:


Mendeleev didn't include helium, neon, and argon in his periodic table because these elements had not yet been discovered.


5- The correct answer is B:


The periodic law describes trends seen across periods within the periodic table.


The explanation:


When the chemical elements are arranged, there is a pattern called the “periodic law” in their properties, in which elements in the same column (group) have similar properties

Calculate the enthalpy of formation of butane, C4H10, using the balanced chemical
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

-125.4

Explanation:

Target equation is 4C(s) + 5H2(g) = C4H10

These are the data equations for enthalpy of combustion

  1. C(s) + O2(g) =O2(g) -393.5 kJ/mol * 4
  2. H2(g) + ½O2(g) =H20(l) = 285.8 kJ/mol * 5
  3. 2CO2(g) + 3H2O(l) = 13/2O2 (g) + C4H10 - 2877.1 reverse

To get target equation multiply data equation 1 by 4; multiply equation 2 by 5; and reverse equation 3, so...

Calculate 4(-393.5) + 5(-285.8) + 2877.6 and you should get the answer.
