Why do lunar and solar eclipse not happen every month

The moon's orbit is not perfectly aligned with the equator and the earth rotates on an axis around 20 degrees off, so the earth and the moon only line up with the sun once or twice a year.

Answer:

A lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon enters the Earth's shadow. A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon's shadow falls on the Earth. They do not happen every month because the Earth's orbit around the sun is not in the same plane as the Moon's orbit around the Earth.

Two hydrogen atoms collide in a head on collision and end up with zero kinetic energy. Each then emits a photon of 121.6 nm (n=2
Zinaida [17]

Explanation:

Expression for the kinetic energy is as follows.

         K.E = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}

Now, total kinetic energy will be as follows.

    K.E = 2 \times \frac{1}{2}mv^{2} = m \times v^{2}

Since, this energy converts into electromagnetic radiation of wavelength 121.6 nm.

Relation between energy and photon is as follows.

   Energy of photon = \frac{hc}{\lambda}

                                = \frac{6.626 \times 10^{-34} \times 3 \times 10^{8}}{121.6 \times 10^{-9}}

                                 = 1.63 \times 10^{-18} J

    m \times v^{2} = 1.63 \times 10^{-18}

          v = \sqrt{\frac{1.63 \times 10^{-18}}{1.67 \times 10^{-27}}

             = 3.12 \times 10^{4} m/s

Thus, we can conclude that atoms were moving at a speed of 3.12 \times 10^{4} m/s before the collision.

A student conducting the iodine clock experiment accidentally makes an s2o32- stock solution that is too concentrated. how will
cupoosta [38]
Adding (S2O3)2- would affect the reaction mechanism that involves this ion. From the reaction mechanism given above, the equilibrium of step 2 would be affected. Adding the stock solution of (S2O3)2- would shift the equilibrium to the right thus making more products of the said mechanism. Also, the reaction rate of this step would occur faster than the original rate. This is based on Le Chatelier's Prinicple which states that a corresponding change would happen to the equilibrium of a reaction when pressure, concentration of the substances or temperature is changed. So, that after the addition, a color change would appear immediately because I3- would be removed slowly from solution, and would therefore be able to react with starch.

Hello.

The answer is: False

The current theory of the formation of our solar system is that the planets formed more or less in their present orbits and they were made balls of gas but they were never comets captured by the sun.

A solution of methanol and water has a mole fraction of water of 0.312 and a total vapor pressure of 21 torr at 39.9 degrees C.
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given the details, we can say that

Pure methanol is a volatile solvent as the vapour pressure has a high value. This means that methanol - methanol intermolecular forces are weak in comparisson to water - water forces. When having about 30% of water in a methanol mixture, the mixture Pv decreased, showing that it is not a volatile mixture, so then there are strong intermolecular interactions between methanol - water, part of it due to the hydrogen bonds.
