When a vacuum pump removes the air within the can, there is no more air molecules bombarding the inner surface of the can. Since the inner pressure=0, the atmospheric pressure will crush the can. Atmosoheric pressure is usually =1.3*10^5Pa.

bearhunter [10]
The initial temperature of the bar is 25. To get to the t temperature you need to add (t-25) degrees Celsius.

for 1 degree................... 7 Joules
      y given degree........  p Joules

p=7y

In our case y=(t-25) .

h(t) = 7(t-25) which is the final answer.

Sergeu [11.5K]

Explanation:

Given that,

The box of oranges cannot exceed a mass of 10.222 Kg if we are sending to a friend by mail.

The mass of each orange is 198 g

We know that,

1 kg = 1000 g

10.222 kg = 10.222×1000 g

Let there are n number of oranges. So,

n=\dfrac{10.222\times 1000\ g}{198\ g}\\\\n=51.92\approx 52\ \text{oranges}

It means she can send 52 oranges and it is maximum quantity.

If an unknown element has a mass of 17 and contains 6 neutrons, how many protons does it have ?
lbvjy [14]

The mass number is the total number of protons and neutrons within an atom and since we know that the unknown element has 6 neutrons, we can simply subtract the number of neutrons from the mass number to get the number of protons.

17 - 6 = 11

There are 11 protons in this unknown element.


Extra:

The number of protons (+) and electrons (-) are equal in a neutral atom so since you know that there are 11 protons you also know that there are 11 electrons. On the periodic table, the element with 11 electrons is Na or Sodium.


Hope this helps! :)
