Answer:

Explanation:

There is a fundamental length, the Planck length. It is the length that light (a photon) travels in a unit of time called the Planck time and conforms to the way to measure length in general, as given by the equation

L = ct

Where L is length (or distance), c the speed of light (3 X 10^8 meters/sec), and t the time the light travels in. The Planck length is exceedingly small (magnitude 10^-35 meters because the Planck time is short (10^-44 sec)

The Planck length, or any length based on the speed of light, is not subject to the imprecision we would find by measurement with a physical ruler, for example, because a ruler can expand or shrink or be bent or warped, etc.

Rather, length based on c (in a vacuum) is constant. This concept is another gift from Einstein’s theory of special relativity. It’s also the central concept in spacetime, though it would take some explaining for me to say why it is so.

100 PTS+BRAINILIEST: Why does it get colder as you go higher through the atmosphere, if you are getting closer to the sun??

sattari [20]

Answer/Explanation:

Heat from the sun hits the ground and is absorbed. The higher you go, it gets more colder due to the fact that the air doesn't hold onto the radiation as it goes straight through the ground, which is why the top of mountains are very cold, and people are able to die in minutes.

Name the reactants and products of Na3PO4 + 3KOHàNaOH + K3PO4 (Question 2 and 3)

Leona [35]

Answer:

Question 2: Na3PO4, KOH; Question 3: Na3PO4, KOH

Explanation:

Question 2

The reactants in a chemical equation are the species on the left side of the reaction arrow.

Thus the reactants are Na3PO4, KOH (sodium phosphate and potassium hydroxide).

Question 3.

The products in a chemical equation are the species on the right side of the reaction arrow.

Thus the products are NaOH, K3PO4 (sodium hydroxide and potassium phosphate).

An aqueous 0.300 M glucose solution is prepared with a total volume of 0.150 L. The molecular weight of

kherson [118]

Answer:

We need 8.11 grams of glucose for this solution

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Molarity of the glucose solution = 0.300 M

Total volume = 0.150 L

The molecular weight of glucose = 180.16 g/mol

Step 2: Calculate moles of glucose in the solution

Moles glucose = molarity solution * volume

Moles glucose = 0.300 M * 0.150 L

Moles glucose = 0.045 moles glucose

Step 3: Calculate mass of glucose

MAss glucose = moles glucose* molecular weight of glucose

MAss glucose = 0.045 moles * 180.16 g/mol

MAss glucose = 8.11 grams

We need 8.11 grams of glucose for this solution

What does unsaturated zone mean?

Nadya [2.5K]

The unsaturated zone is the portion of the subsurface above the groundwater table. The soil and rock in this zone contains air as well as water in its pores. ... Unlike the aquifers of the saturated zone below, the unsaturated zone is not a source of readily available water for human consumption

A buffer solution contains 0.345 M acetic acid and 0.377 M sodium acetate . If 0.0613 moles of potassium hydroxide are added to

melamori03 [73]

Answer:

pH = 5.54

Explanation:

The pH of a buffer solution is given by the Henderson-Hasselbach (H-H) equation:

pH = pKa + log $\frac{[CH_3COO^-]}{[CH_3COOH]}$

For acetic acid, pKa = 4.75.

We calculate the original number of moles for acetic acid and acetate, using the given concentrations and volume:

CH₃COO⁻ ⇒ 0.377 M * 0.250 L = 0.0942 mol CH₃COO⁻

CH₃COOH ⇒ 0.345 M * 0.250 L = 0.0862 mol CH₃COOH

The number of CH₃COO⁻ moles will increase with the added moles of KOH while the number of CH₃COOH moles will decrease by the same amount.

Now we use the H-H equation to calculate the new pH, by using the new concentrations:

pH = 4.75 + log $\frac{(0.0942+0.0613)mol/0.250L}{(0.0862-0.0613)mol/0.250L}$ = 5.54
