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!! :)
If there's anything else that I can help you with, please let me know!

The pressure of a 1-L nitrogen gas sample at 25 ⁰C is 0.30 atm. The pressure of a 1-L oxygen gas sample at the same temperature
ki77a [65]

Answer:

Nitrogen = 0.3 atm

Oxygen = 0.25 atm

Argon  = 0.45 atm

Explanation:

According to Dalton's law of partial pressure, the total pressure in the container is equal to sum of the partial pressures of the individual gases.

Given;

Total pressure of the gases, P_total = 1 atm

Pressure of nitrogen, P_nitrogen = 0.3 atm

Pressure of oxygen, P_oxygen = 0.25 atm

Pressure of argon, P_argon = ?

P_{total} = P_{nitrogen} + P_{oxygen} + P_{argon}\\\\1 \ atm= 0.3 \ atm + 0.25 \ atm + P_{argon}\\\\1 \ atm= 0.55 \ atm +  P_{argon}\\\\ P_{argon} = 1 \ atm - 0.55 \ atm\\\\ P_{argon} = 0.45 \ atm

Therefore, the contribution of each gas to the total pressure of the gas mixture is;

Nitrogen = 0.3 atm

Oxygen = 0.25 atm

Argon  = 0.45 atm

What is the concentration of a solution with a volume of 1.38 mL that contains 17.36
Elden [556K]

Answer:

C = 107.97 mol/L

Explanation:

Given data:

Volume of solution = 1.38 mL (1.38 mL× 1 L /1000 mL = 0.00138 L)

Mass of ammonium sulfite = 17.36 g

Concentration of solution =?

Solution:

We will calculate the number of moles of ammonium sulfite.

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 17.36 g / 116.15 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.149 mol

Concentration:

C = n/V

C = concentration

n = number of moles of solute

v = volume in L

C = 0.149 mol / 0.00138 L

C = 107.97 mol/L

Sydney was organizing a box of resistors by resistance range. She knows that there are several factors that go into determining
kati45 [8]

The resistance of the wire is dependent on temperature, diameter and nature of the material.

<h3>What is resistance?</h3>

The term resistance refers to the opposition offered to the flow of current in a circuit. The resistance is obtained form Ohm's law which states that;

V = IR

Where;

V = voltage

I = current

R = resistance

Hence, the resistance is dependent on;

  • temperature
  • diameter
  • material
