Lewis is making a model of the Earth-Moon system. He knows that the diameter of the Earth is about four times greater than the d

iameter of the Moon. He uses a globe that is 16 inches in diameter to represent the Earth and a balloon that is blown up to be 4 inches in diameter to represent the Moon.
What property of the Earth-Moon system is best represented by this model?
A.
the materials that make up the Earth and Moon
B.
the size of the actual Earth and Moon
C.
the appearance of the Earth and Moon
D.
the relative scale of the Earth and Moon

Answer:

Option (D)

Explanation:

The relative scale is used to compare two objects or models, in terms of its scale. This enables to understand the relation between the scale of one model that is directly measurable and the other that is too large to measure. Here the direct measurable model is the globe-balloon system and the non-measurable large model is the earth-moon system.

According to the provided condition, Lewis knew that the earth's diameter is four times bigger than that of the moon. He constructed a model of its own by taking a globe of diameter 16 inches and a balloon of diameter 4 inches. <u>He compares this globe to the earth and the balloon to the moon. His model completely satisfies the condition maintaining their relative sizes</u>.  

So the property of relative scale of earth and the moon system is appropriately shown in this model.

Thus, the correct answer is option (D).

D. this is the correct answer because the question is showing a comparison of sizes rather than the actual sizes which eliminates B. A and C have no relevance.

What is the net ionic equation of the reaction of mgso4 with sr(no3)2?
Bad White [126]

Balanced chemical reaction:  

MgSO₄(aq) + Sr(NO₃)₂(aq) → Mg(NO₃)₂(aq) + SrSO₄(s).

Ionic reaction:  

Mg²⁺(aq) + SO₄²⁻(aq) + Sr²⁺(aq) + 2NO₃⁻(aq) → Mg²⁺(aq) + 2NO₃⁻(aq) + SrSO₄(s).

Net ionic reaction:

Sr²⁺(aq) + SO₄²⁻(aq) → SrSO₄(s).

Magnesium sulfate (MgSO₄), strontium nitrate (Sr(NO₃)₂ and magnesium nitrate (Mg(NO₃)₂) are soluble in water. Strontium sulfate (SrSO₄) is not soluble in water.

This chemical reaction is double displacement reaction - cations and anions of the two reactants switch places and form two new compounds.

Ka/KbMIXED PRACTICE108.Calculate the [H3O+(aq)], the pH, and the % reaction for a 0.50 mol/L HCN solution. ([H3O+(aq)] = 1.8 x 1
NeTakaya

Answer:

a) [H₃O⁺] = 1.8x10⁻⁵ M

b) pH = 4.75

c) % rxn = 3.5x10⁻³ %

Explanation:

a) The dissociation reaction of HCN is:

HCN(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ H₃O⁺(aq) + CN⁻(aq)

0.5 M - x                       x               x

The dissociation constant from the above reactions is given by:

Ka = \frac{[H_{3}O^{+}][CN^{-}]}{[HCN]} = 6.17 \cdot 10^{-10}

6.17 \cdot 10^{-10} = \frac{x*x}{(0.5 - x)}

6.17 \cdot 10^{-10}*(0.5 - x) - x^{2} = 0

By solving the above quadratic equation we have:

x = 1.75x10⁻⁵ M = 1.8x10⁻⁵ M = [H₃O⁺] = [CN⁻]

Hence, the [H₃O⁺] is 1.8x10⁻⁵ M.

b) The pH is equal to:

pH = -log[H_{3}O^{+}] = -log(1.75 \cdot 10^{-5} M) = 4.75    

Then, the pH of the HCN solution is 4.75.

c) The % reaction is the % ionization:

\% = \frac{x}{[HCN]} \times 100

\% = \frac{1.75 \cdot 10^{-5} M}{0.5 M} \times 100

\% = 3.5 \cdot 10^{-3} \%          

Therefore, the % reaction or % ionization is 3.5x10⁻³ %.

I hope it helps you!

Strontium-90 is a radioisotope that will decrease in mass by one-half every 29 years. How many years will it take for a 10.0-gra
Lelechka [254]

Answer: It will take 29 years for a 10.0-gram sample of strontium-90 to decay to 5.00 grams

Explanation:

Radioactive decay process is a type of process in which a less stable nuclei decomposes to a stable nuclei by releasing some radiations or particles like alpha, beta particles or gamma-radiations. The radioactive decay follows first order kinetics.

Half life is the amount of time taken by a radioactive material to decay to half of its original value.

Half life is represented by t_{\frac{1}{2}

t_{\frac{1}{2}=\frac{0.693}{\lambda}

\lambda = rate constant

Given : Strontium-90 decreases in mass  by one-half every 29 years , that is half life of Strontium-90  is 29 years.

As half life is independent of initial concentration, it will take 29 years for a 10.0-gram sample of strontium-90 to decay to 5.00 grams as the amount gets half.

If 75.0 g of a liquid has a volume of 62.4 mL ,calculate the liquid’s density
Galina-37 [17]
<span>To calculate the density of a liquid, you have to first know that density is the amount of substance per unit of volume. In this specific question, density will be found with units of g/mL. Now, the density can be found by dividing the amount of liquid, 75.0g, by the volume, 62.4mL. Doing this we get: 75.0g/62.4mL= 1.2 g/mL as the density of the liquid.</span>
