<u>Answer</u>:

The inner walls of a vacuum flask have a silver coating to reduce heat loss by radiation.

<u>Explanation</u>:

The vacuum flask has an inner silver lining to prevent the transfer of  heat by radiation. Radiation is a process where the emission or transformation of energy happens in the form of wave or the  particles through the material medium.

Vacuum flask being working as thermal insulator helps in maintaining the substance its actual temperature for a long time. The silver lining acts as a reflector .It  prevents the heat radiation to released out of the flask.

Einstein's formula tells us the amount of energy to which a given mass would be equivalent, if it were all suddenly turned into
skad [1K]
Einstein's famous equation, E = mc^2 relates the mass (m) of an object to energy (E). The speed of light (c), is the constant of proportionality. Einstein formulated the equation within his theory of special relativity. Indeed, a physical interpretation of this equation is that any given mass is equivalent to the energy given by the equation, if it were suddenly converted to energy. Therefore the answer to the question is true.

The frequency of an x-ray wave is 3.0 x 1012MHz. Its wave speed is 3.0x 108m/s. Calculate the wavelength of the x-ray wave below
jasenka [17]

Answer: The wavelength of the x-ray wave is 10^{-10}m

Explanation:

To calculate the wavelength of light, we use the equation:

\lambda=\frac{c}{\nu}

where,

\lambda = wavelength of the light  = ?

c = speed of x-ray= 3.0\times 10^8m/s

\nu = frequency of x-ray = 3.0\times 10^{12}MHz=3.0\times 10^{18}Hz= 3.0\times 10^{18}s^{-1}     (1Hz=1s^{-1})

Putting in the values:

\lambda=\frac{3.0\times 10^8m/s}{3.0\times 10^{18}s^{-1}}=10^{-10}m

Thus the wavelength of the x-ray wave is 10^{-10}m

If 25 mol of C8H18 are available, how many mol of CO2 can be produced
Nady [450]

Answer:

200 mol

Explanation:

2C8H18+25O2=16CO2+18H2O

2 mol → 16 mol

25 mol → X mol

X=25×16÷2=200

Many angiosperms rely on animals for
slavikrds [6]
Many angiosperm species rely on the interaction between animals and their flowers for reproduction. As insects, birds or other animals move from one flower to another feeding on nectar, they commonly distribute pollen from flower to flower as they go which leads to plants being pollinated and seeds to be produced.
