Answer:

0.368 cm

Explanation:

x = distance by which the mercury rise

d = depth of the water = 10 cm = 0.10 m

ρ = density of water = 1000 kgm⁻³

ρ' = density of mercury = 13600 kgm⁻³

P₀ = atmospheric pressure

Using equilibrium of pressure on both side

P₀ + ρ g d = P₀ + ρ' g (2x)

(1000) (0.10) = (13600) (2x)

x = 0.00368 m

x = 0.368 cm

what is the value of the constant for a second order reaction if the reactant concentration drops from .657 M to ,0981 M in 17 s
yaroslaw [1]

Answer : The value of the constant for a second order reaction is, 0.51M^{-1}s^{-1}

Explanation :

The expression used for second order kinetics is:

kt=\frac{1}{[A_t]}-\frac{1}{[A_o]}

where,

k = rate constant = ?

t = time = 17s

[A_t] = final concentration = 0.0981 M

[A_o] = initial concentration = 0.657 M

Now put all the given values in the above expression, we get:

k\times 17s=\frac{1}{0.0981M}-\frac{1}{0.657M}

k=0.51M^{-1}s^{-1}

Therefore, the value of the constant for a second order reaction is, 0.51M^{-1}s^{-1}

Pls help my science teacher is a horrible teacher...
Anettt [7]

First of all, looks like your teacher is indeed pretty horrible. Secondly, the constraints to consider would be proper weight distribution, methods to minimize excessive motion of the building structure, and quantities such as volume and density, which would help in determining the optimal structure. Keeping the frequency of oscillation for a building low in case of an earthquake or natural disaster would also be a priority.
