Garfield (weighing 24 lbs) took a flight from the earth to the moon (where the gravity is 1/6 the gravity here on earth) on the

space shuttle. As usual, he stuffed himself with lasagna during the entire flight and napped when he wasn't eating. Much to his delight when he got to the moon he found he weighed only 6 lbs. He immediately proclaimed a quick weight loss diet.
What is/are the REASONING to support Garfield's claim to a quick weight loss diet?

i need an answer asap please

Answer:

Reason: Gravitational pull of the Moon

Explanation:

Weight of Garfield is 24 lbs on the Earth. He took a flight from the Earth to the Moon where the gravity is 1/6 of the gravity on the Earth.

But when reaches the Moon he found he weighed only 6 lbs. It is due to the gravitational pull of the Moon.

Mass of an object reamins the same at every location while its weight changes due to the change in acceleration due to gravity. It is equal (on Moon) to 1/6 the of acceleration due to gravity on the earth.

If a hard water solution is saturated with calcium carbonate, what volume of the solution has to evaporate to deposit 1.00×102 m
olasank [31]
I think the Ksp for Calcium Carbonate is around 5×10⁻⁹
(I don't know if this is the Ksp value that you use because I read somewhere that this value can vary.  You should probably check with your teacher with what Ksp value they want you to use)

the equation for the dissociation CaCO₃ in water is CaCO₃(s)⇄Ca²⁺(aq)+CO₃²⁻(aq) which means that the concentration of Ca²⁺ is equal to the concentration of CO₃²⁻ in solution.  For every molecule of CaCO₃ that dissolves, one atom of Ca²⁺ and one molecule of CO₃²⁻ is put into solution which is why the concentrations are equal in solution. 

Since Ksp=[Ca²⁺][CO₃²⁻] and we know that [Ca²⁺]=[CO₃²⁻] we can rewrite the equation as Ksp=x² since if you say that [Ca²⁺]=[CO₃²⁻] when you multiply them together you get the concentration squared (I am calling the concentration x for right now).

when solving for x:
5×10⁻⁹=x²
x=0.0000707
Therefore [Ca²⁺]=[CO₃²⁻]=0.0000707mol/L which also shows how much calcium carbonate is dissolved per liter of water since the amount of Ca²⁺ and CO₃²⁻ in solution came from the calcium in a 1 to 1 molar ratio as shown in the equation (the value we found for x is the molar solubility of calcium carbonate).

Using the fact that the molar mass of calcium carbonate is 100.09g/mol you can use dimensional analysis as fallows:
(0.0000707mol/L)(100.09g/mol)=0.007077g/L
That means that there is 0.007077g of Calcium carbonate that can precipitate out of 1L of water.

since the question is asking for how much water needs to be evaporated to precipitate 100mg (0.1g) of Calcium you have to do the fallowing calculation:
(0.1g)/(0.007077g/L)=14.13L of water.
14.13L of water needs to evaporate in order to precipitate out 100mg of calcium carbonate

These types of questions can get long and confusing so I bolded parts that were important to try to guide you through it more easily.

I hope this helps.  Let me know if anything is unclear.

A substance has a volume of 10.0 cm3 and a mass of 89 grams. What is its density?
Irina18 [472]
Remembering that
d = m ÷ v

d = ?
m = 89 g
v = 10 cm³

Therefore:

d = 89 ÷ 10

d = 8,9 g÷cm³

Al + AgNO3 -> Al(NO3)3 + Ag. As a balanced equation​
prisoha [69]

Answer:

Al + 4AgNO3 >>Al(NO3)3+ 3Ag

Explanation:

the number of moles of No3 of the products is 3 therefore we have to balance the reactants by adding 3 before the "AgNO3" which also leades us to adding 3 mols to Ag on the products side
