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

If the mass of monomer 105 atomic mass units, find the mass of a polymer contianing 122 monomers
sukhopar [10]
<span>12810 atomic mass units
   Since a monomer is the basic building block of a polymer, we just need to multiply the mass of the monomers by the number of monomers used. So 105 atomic mass units * 122 = 12810 atomic mass units</span>

I went for a walk the other day. I went four blocks east, then seven blocks south, then one block west and finally
nalin [4]

Answer:

a) distance is 4+7+1+8=20 blocks

b) displacement is 10 blocks

Explanation:

find displacement: x and y

x axis displacement = 4-1 = 3 blocks

y axis displacement = -7+8= 1 block

displacement = the square root of 3^2 + 1^2

= 9+1 = 10 blocks.

You can find the angle of displacement with respect to the initial position using trig identities, if you wish.

Advantages and disadvantages of titration?
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

What are the advantages of titration?

Titrimetric analysis commonly referred to as volumetric analysis offers distinct advantages over cumbersome gravimetric methods:

Speed of analysis.

Instantaneous completion of reactions.

Greater accuracy due to minimization of material loss involved in decanting, filtration, precipitation or similar operations.

Explanation:

Disadvantages

It is a destructive method often using up relatively large quantities of the substance being analysed.

It requires reactions to occur in a liquid phase, often the chemistry of interest will make this inappropriate.

It can produce significant amounts of chemical waste which has to be disposed of.

It has limited accuracy.

Why is vsepr theory important?
Serga [27]
It is very important<span> to know the shape of a molecule if one is to understand its reactions. It is also desirable to have a simple method to predict the geometries of compounds. For main group compounds, the </span>VSEPR<span> method is such a predictive tool and unsurpassed as a handy predictive method.</span>

A first-order decomposition reaction has a rate constant of 0.00440 yr−1. How long does it take for [reactant] to reach 12.5% of
mina [271]

Answer:

473 year

Explanation:

Using integrated rate law for first order kinetics as:

[A_t]=[A_0]e^{-kt}

Where,  

[A_t] is the concentration at time t

[A_0] is the initial concentration

Given:

To reach 12.5% of reactant means that 0.125 of [A_0] is decomposed. So,

\frac {[A_t]}{[A_0]} = 0.125

t = ?

\frac {[A_t]}{[A_0]}=e^{-k\times t}

0.125=e^{-0.00440\times t}

t = 473 year
