<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Atmosphere magnetic field

The Van Allen radiation belts serve as a trap to high energy charged particles from the <u>atmosphere magnetic field</u>.

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • A Van Allen radiation belt is a zone of energetic charged particles around the Earth, trapped by Earth's magnetic field. These belts are located in the inner region of the Earth's magnetosphere.
  • <em><u>Most of the particles that form the belts come from solar wind and other particles by cosmic rays.</u></em>
  • <em><u>By trapping the solar wind, the magnetic field deflects those energetic particles and protects the Earth's atmosphere from destruction.</u></em>

The particles that are usually in a much higher energy usually comes from the magnetic field of the Earth in which it is trapped consisting the Van Allen radiation belts. In addition to that, these radiation belts are somewhat essential because it protects satellites orbiting the Earth from the Sun's high energy radiation.

How is the reaction quotient used to determine whether a system is at equilibrium?
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

The answer to the question above is explained below

Explanation:

The reaction quotient, Q, is a measure of the relative amounts of reactants and products during a chemical reaction as it can be used to determine in which direction a reaction will proceed at a given point in time. Equilibrium constant is the numerical value of reaction quotient at the end of the reaction, when equilibrium is reached.

If Q = K then the system is already at equilibrium. If Q < Keq, the reaction will move toward the products to reach equilibrium. If Q > Keq, the reaction will move toward the reactants in order to reach equilibrium. Therefore, by comparing Q and K, we can determine the direction of a reaction.

Where Q= reaction quotient and Keq= equilibrium constant for the reaction.

The larger the equilibrium constant, the further the equilibrium lies toward the products. Reaction quotient is a quantity that changes as a reaction system approaches equilibrium.  

We can determine the equilibrium constant  based on equilibrium concentrations. K is the constant of a certain reaction when it is in equilibrium. Equilibrium occurs when there is a constant ratio between the concentration of the reactants and the products.

RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

2000years

Explanation:

We will either convert the distance to centimeters or speed to meters/second.

Converting distance to centimeters: 100 meters= 100*100centimeters =10000centimeters.

time=distance/speed

t=10000/5=2000 years
