Answer:

There are 1811  kernels of popcorn are there in 0.500 pounds of popcorn.

Explanation:

The average mass of a kernel of popcorn is 0.125 g

1 pound = 16 oz =  452.8 g

1 oz = 28.3 g

16 oz =  452.8 g

1 pound =  452.8 g

0.125 g = \frac{1}{452.8} pounds\times 0.125 =0.000276060 pounds

Total mass of the pop corns = 0.500 pounds

Number of popcorn kernel:

\frac{0.500 pounds}{0.000276060 pounds}=1811.2\approx 1811

There are 1811  kernels of popcorn are there in 0.500 pounds of popcorn.

I won't give the answer, but here's the process: You have the weight of the object (0.500 lbs), and you want to convert that into the number of kernels. You are given the fact that 1 pound = 16 oz, and 1 oz=28.3 grams. So it should be apparent that you need to convert pounds to ounces first and then convert ounces to grams. Now that you the grams, you can easily figure out how many kernels there are because .125 grams equals the weight of one kernel.

When the ph of an aqueous solution is changed from 1 to 2, the concentration of hydronium ions in the solution is.
kiruha [24]

Answer:

decreased by a factor of 10

Explanation:

pH is defined in such a way that;

pH= −log10(H)

Where H represents the concentration of Hydronium or Hydrogen ions

Given that pH is changed from 1 to 2,

By rearranging the above formula , we get 10−pH = H

  • if pH=1,H=10−1=0.1M
  • if pH=2,H=10−2=0.01M

Therefore,  0.1/0.01 = 10 and 0.1 > 0.01

Hence, the concentration of hydronium ions in the solution is decreased by a factor of 10

PLEASE HELP WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST!!!
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

The light emitted by a light bulb is a form of radiation that occurs when the filament heats up and its thermal emission gains enough energy to move into the visible spectrum.

Explanation:

Light bulbs contain a filament which is heated up electrically. When this filament is heated up,energy in the form of heat is imparted to the electrons in the filament.

This thermal excitation of electrons ultimately leads to emission of light in the viable spectrum. This light is now radiated through a light bulb.

What purpose do each of the following play in the isolation and purification of ethyl 3- hydroxybutanoate?
Shalnov [3]

Explanation:

-Filter help — delete some big unreacted, undesirable species (norit is probably from what you are sorting through, its only carbon which cleans up things)

— extract with DCM because you are probably in an aqueous phase, and some butanoate is in it

- Anhydrous sodium absorbs excess of  water (dries the material)

-evaporation in the hood to clear the DCM and crystallize the product.

How much thermal energy is added to 10.0 g of ice at −20.0°C to convert it to water vapor at 120.0°C?
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

7479 cal.

31262.2 joules

Explanation:

This is a calorimetry problem where water in its three states changes from ice to vapor.

We must use, the calorimetry formula and the formula for latent heat.

Q = m . C . ΔT

Q = Clat . m

First of all, let's determine the heat for ice, before it melts.

10 g . 0.5 cal/g°C ( 0° - (-20°C) = 100 cal

Now, the ice has melted.

Q = Clat heat of fusion . 10 g

Q = 79.7 cal/g . 10 g → 797 cal

We have water  at 0°, so this water has to receive heat until it becomes vapor. Let's determine that heat.

Q = m . C . ΔT

Q = 10 g . 1 cal/g°C (100°C - 0°C) → 1000 cal

Water is ready now, to become vapor so let's determine the heat.

Q = Clat heat of vaporization . m

Q = 539.4 cal/g . 10 g → 5394 cal

Finally we have vapor water, so let's determine the heat gained when this vapor changes the T° from 100°C to 120°

Q = m . C . ΔT

Q = 10 g . 0.470 cal/g°C . (120°C - 100°C) → 94 cal

Now, we have to sum all the heat that was added in all the process.

100 cal + 797 cal + 1000 cal + 5394 cal + 94 cal =7479 cal.

We can convert this unit to joules, which is more acceptable for energy terms.

1 cal is 4.18 Joules.

Then, 7479 cal are (7479 . 4.18) = 31262.2 joules
