Write the quantities 3 x 10^-4 cm and 3 x 10^4 km in ordinary notation

1 answer:

6 0

To write quantities in ordinary notation, you need to notice the power of the exponent.
If the power is positive, then you move the decimal point to the right by the number the power in exponent tells you.
If the power is negative, then you move the decimal point to the left by the number the power in exponent tells you.

We have:
3 x 10^-4 : the power of exponent is negative, therefore, we will move the decimal point 4 places to the left.
3 x 10^-4 = 0.0003 km

3 x 10^4 : he power of exponent is positive, therefore, we will move the decimal point 4 places to the right.
3 x 10^4 = 30000 km

Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

The correct answer is B.

The $K_{eq}$ is samller than $Q$ of the reaction . So,the reaction will shift towards the left i.e. towards the reactant side.

Explanation:

Equilibrium constant is defined as the ratio of concentration of products to the concentration of reactants each raised to the power their stoichiometric ratios. It is expressed as $K_{eq}$

K is the constant of a certain reaction when it is in equilibrium, while Q is the quotient of activities of products and reactants at any stage other than equilibrium of a reaction.

For the given chemical reaction:

$PCl_5(g)\rightleftharpoons PCl_3(g)+Cl_2(g)$

The expression for $Q$ is written as:

$Q=\frac{[PCl_3][Cl_2]}{[[PCl_5]^1}$

$Q=\frac{0.20 M\times 2.5 M}{0.20 M}$

$Q=2.5$

Given : $K_{eq}$ = 0.0454

Thus as $K_{eq}$ , the reaction will shift towards the left i.e. towards the reactant side.

Bomb calorimetry is a poor choice to determine the number of nutritional Calories in food; it consistently overestimates the Cal

maw [93]

Answer:

A) dietary fiber isn't used by the body.

Explanation:

The food we eat contains certain nutritional contents that provides energy, measured in calories (CAL) to the body. A procedure called BOMB CALORIMETRY can be used to determine the energy contents of these foods. The energy-supplying macromolecules contained in food substances we eat are carbohydrate, protein, fats etc.

Bomb calorimetry uses the method of burning the food substance in a device called bomb calorimeter, and measure the caloric content of the burnt food. Bomb calorimetry measures all the present calories in a food substance, which can include dietary fibers. Due to this reason, it is considered a poor choice in determining the number of nutritional calories in a food substance.

Dietary fibers are indigestible carbohydrates that cannot be broken down and used by the body. They pass along the alimentary canal until they are egested. Hence, they are no source of nutrients to the body. Since bomb calorimetry measures all calories including dietary fibers, it is said to overestimate the caloric content of food substances.
