Answer:

Precision refers to the change in the direction of the axis, however, it does not lead to any change in the tilt. It changes the stars near the pole, however, does not affect the seasons.  

Nutation refers to wobbling around the precessional axis, that is, half a degree one way or the other. It has a period of 18 years and takes place because of the Moon, it slightly influences seasons.  

Barycenter refers to the point in between the two objects where they counteract each other. The Moon does not orbit around the definite center of the Earth, however, at around a point where the two masses balance each other out.  

The galaxy refers to a huge group of star clusters, dust, single stars, a system of stars, and gas bound together by gravity.

The Earth spins on its axis and revolves around the Sun. The tilt of its axis with respect to the Sun causes the Earth's seasons. The Earth also follows the Sun's rotation around the center of the Milky Way galaxy, which is moving through space.

Once the torch is lit why must the acetylene flow be increased until the flame stops smoking
mojhsa [17]
Once the torch is lit, the acetylene flow must be increased until the flame stops smoking <span>before the oxygen is turned on for adjustment in order to keep the tip of the torch cool.

You should also note that while lighting the torch, you should keep the spark lighter near the tip but not covering it.</span>

hydrogen decomposes quickly when exposed to light. the reaction for decomposing hydrogen peroxide is:
Svet_ta [14]

The decomposition reaction for hydrogen peroxide is given below:

                                     2H_{2} O_{2} → 2H_{2} O + O_{2}

This is a decomposition reaction.

Reactions in which a reactant breaks into two or more products are known as Decomposition reactions.

                                          AB → A + B

here, AB represents the reactant that begins the reaction, and A and B represent the products of the reaction

The decomposition reaction of decomposing hydrogen peroxide is exothermic. When the hydrogen peroxide undergoes a decomposition reaction, heat is also released along with water and oxygen.

Hence the  reaction for decomposing hydrogen peroxide is :

         2H_{2} O_{2} → 2H_{2} O + O_{2}

When a skin diver is on the top of the water at 1.03 atm, her lung volume is 3.62L. How will the volume of her lungs change as s
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

–2.23 L

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the final volume. This can be obtained as follow:

Initial pressure (P₁) = 1.03 atm

Initial volume (V₁) = 3.62 L

Final pressure (P₂) = 2.68 atm

Final volume (V₂) =?

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

1.03 × 3.62 = 2.68 × V₂

3.7286 = 2.68 × V₂

Divide both side by 2.68

V₂ = 3.7286 / 2.68

V₂ = 1.39 L

Finally, we shall determine the change in volume. This can be obtained as follow:

Initial volume (V₁) = 3.62 L

Final volume (V₂) = 1.39 L

Change in volume (ΔV) =?

ΔV = V₂ – V₁

ΔV = 1.39 – 3.62

ΔV = –2.23 L

Thus, the change in the volume of her lung is –2.23 L.

NOTE: The negative sign indicate that the volume of her lung reduced as she goes below the surface!

Which of the following is true for the equilibrium constant of a reaction? (5 pc
Slav-nsk [51]

The equilibrium constant of the reaction is represented by the symbol K. Thus, option C is the correct and accurate statement about the equilibrium constant.

<h3>What is the equilibrium constant?</h3>

The equilibrium constant is a representation of the concentration of the products and the reactants of the reaction that is raised to the powers through their stoichiometry coefficient.

Its value varies and changes at different temperatures and is not always less than 1. The equilibrium constant is the ratio of the coefficient of the products to reactants.

Therefore, option C. equilibrium constant is represented by K is true.

What is the ph of a 0.25 m solution of c6h5nh2 given that its kb is 1.8 x 10-6?
IrinaK [193]

The pH a 0.25 m solution of C₆H₅NH₂ is equal to 3.13.

<h3>How do we calculate pH of weak base?</h3>

pH of the weak base will be calculate by using the Henderson Hasselbalch equation as:

pH = pKb + log([HB⁺]/[B])

pKb = -log(1.8×10⁻⁶) = 5.7

Chemical reaction for C₆H₅NH₂ is:

                          C₆H₅NH₂ + H₂O → C₆H₅NH₃⁺ + OH⁻

Initial:                     0.25                           0            0

Change:                    -x                             x             x

Equilibrium:        0.25-x                           x             x

Base dissociation constant will be calculated as:
Kb = [C₆H₅NH₃⁺][OH⁻] / [C₆H₅NH₂]

Kb = x² / 0.25 - x

x is very small as compared to 0.25, so we neglect x from that term and by putting value of Kb, then the equation becomes:

1.8×10⁻⁶ = x² / 0.25

x² = (1.8×10⁻⁶)(0.25)

x = 0.67×10⁻³ M = [C₆H₅NH₃⁺]

On putting all these values on the above equation of pH, we get

pH = 5.7 + log(0.67×10⁻³/0.25)

pH = 3.13

Hence pH of the solution is 3.13.
