Hi there!

We can use pythagorean theorem to solve this problem here. The easiest way to go about solving this problem is to use the theorem to find the hypotenuse, then dividing it by 5 to find the value of x, since the hypotenuse is 5x.

WORK:
27^2 + 36^2 = h^2     (plugging into theorem)
729 + 1296 = h^2     (squaring the numbers)
h^2 = 2025              (adding the numbers together)
hypotenuse = 49    (taking the square root of 2025)
49/5 = x                 (dividing 49 by 5 to find x)
x = 9.8                  (dividing)

Hope this helps!! :)

decomposition of hydrogen peroxide produce water and oxygen . calculate the volume of O2 formed from the decomposition of 150 mL
Ugo [173]

Explanation:

2H2O2 => 2H2O + O2

Moles of hydrogen peroxide = 0.150dm³ * (0.02mol/dm³) = 0.003mol .

Moles of oxygen = 0.0015mol.

Volume of oxygen = 0.0015mol * (22.4dm³/mol) = 0.0336dm³.

A 5.00-cm cube of magnesium has a mass of 217.501 g. What is the density of magnesiummetal?
Doss [256]

Answer:

d = 43.5 g/cm³

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of magnesium cube = 217.501 g

Volume of magnesium cube = 5.00 cm³

Density of magnesium cube = ?

Solution:

Formula:

d = m/v

d = density

m = mass

v = volume

by putting values,

d = 217.501 g/ 5.00 cm³

d = 43.5 g/cm³
