Answer:

Planetary orbits are all nearly circular , comet orbits are highly excentric . ... This means that planets stay more or less at the same distance from the sun, while comets travel as far out as beyond Neptune, and can travel as far in as Mercury.

What is the volume of water in 150ml of the 35% of sucrose with a specific gravity of 1.115?

anzhelika [568]

Answer:

The volume of the water is 108.71 mL

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Volume of water =150 mL = 0.150 L

concentration of sucrose solution 35 % w/w this means in 100 grams of water we have 35 grams of sucrose

specific gravity =1.115

Step 2: Calculate the density of the solution

Density = specific gravity * density of water

Density of solution = 1.115 * 1g/ mL

Density of solution = 1.115 g/ mL

Step 3: Calculate mass of the solution

Mass of solution = density ¨volume

Mass of solution = 1.115 g/ mL * 150 mL

Mass of solution = 167.25 grams

Step 4: Calculate mass of sucrose

35 % = 0.35 * 167.25 grams

Mass sucrose = 58.54 grams

Step 5: Calculate mass of water

Mass of water = mass of sample - mass of sucrose

Mass of water = 167.25 - 58.54 = 108.71 grams

Step 6: Calculate volume of water

Volume = mass / density

Volume = 108.71 grams / 1g/ mL

Volume = 108.71 mL = 0.10871 L

The volume of the water is 108.71 mL

Ch4+2o2=co2+2h2o how many moles of methane are in 20 liters of methane?

horsena [70]

Answer:

See below, please

Explanation:

1 mol CH4 ——＞2 mol H2O=2x18 g/mol= 36 g

The question is not clear. You should tell us the concentration of CH4, methane.

A sample of a pure element has a mass of 45.6g and contains 4.19 x 10 23 atoms. Identify the element.

max2010maxim [7]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

ZINC

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

<em>To identify the element based on the informartion given, we have to find the molar mass since this mass is unique to each element.</em>

Molar mass = mass ÷ moles

<em>We already know the mass based on the question, as such we now need to find the # of moles.</em>

Since 1 mole contains 6.02214 × 10²³ atoms

then let x moles contain 4.19 × 10²³ atoms <em>(given in the question)</em>

<em> </em><em> </em> ⇒ x = (4.19 × 10²³ atoms × 1 mol) ÷ 6.02214 × 10²³ atoms

x = 0.69577 mol

<em>Now that we have the moles we can substitute it into the molar mass equation and solve for the molar mass.</em>

⇒ molar mass = 45.6 g ÷ 0.69577 mol

⇒ molar mass ≈ 65.54 g/mol

This molar mass is closest to that of ZINC.

How much pressure does an elephant with a mass of 2200 Kg and a total footprint area of 4500 cm2 exert on the ground?

Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

47911.1 pa

Explanation:

The SI base unit of pressure is pascal, which is N/m^2.

2200 kg is 2200*9.8=21560 N, and 4500 cm^2=4500/10000=0.45 m^2.

So the total pressure exerted on the ground (!!) is 21560/0.45= 47911.1 Pa.
