How do astronomers explain the formation of the milky way galaxy

Galaxy Formation. One says that galaxies were born when vast clouds of gas and dust collapsed under their own gravitational pull, allowing stars to form. The other, which has gained strength in recent years, says the young universe contained many small "lumps" of matter, which clumped together to form galaxies.

Antarctica, almost completely covered in ice, has an area

Marysya12 [62]

Answer: The mass of ice is $2.39\times 10^{22}g$

Explanation:

We are given:

Area of Antarctica = $5,500,000mi^2=5,500,000\times 2.59\times 10^{10}=142.45\times 10^{15}cm^2$ (Conversion factor: $1mi^2=2.59\times 10^{10}cm^2$ )

Height of Antarctica with ice = 7500 ft.

Height of Antarctica without ice = 1500 ft.

Height of ice = 7500 - 1500 = 6000 ft = $182.88\times 10^3cm$ (Conversion factor: 1 ft = 30.48 cm)

To calculate mass of ice, we use the equation:

$\text{Density of a substance}=\frac{\text{Mass of a substance}}{\text{Volume of a substance}}$

We are given:

Density of ice = $0.917g/cm^3$

Volume of ice = Area × Height of ice = $142.45\times 10^{15}cm^2\times 182.88\times 10^3cm=26051.26\times 10^{18}cm^3$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.917g/cm^3=\frac{\text{Mass of ice}}{26051.26\times 10^{18}cm^3}\\\\\text{Mass of ice}=(0.917g/cm^3\times 26051.26\times 10^{18}cm^3=2.39\times 10^{22}g$

Hence, the mass of ice is $2.39\times 10^{22}g$

What is the hydrogen ion concentration in a 0.10M solution of KOH?

dybincka [34]

KOH is a strong base, so [OH-] = 0.10 M = 1.0 x 10^-1 M

[H+][OH-] = Kw

Kw = 1.0 x 10^-14

[H+] = 1.0 x 10^-14 / 1.0 x 10^-1 = 1.0 x 10^-13 M
