Given , Speed of light = 3 × 10⁸ m/s 
             Distance = 40 × 1.61× 1000 m 
                           = 264400 m
 We know that, speed = distance/time 
                   so, time = distance/speed
                             t = 264400 / 3 × 10⁸
                             t = 0.00881333 sec  Approx
The answer is 0.00881333 sec  Approx

A 250. ml sample of 0.0328m hcl is partially neutralized by the addition of 100. ml of 0.0245m naoh. find the concentration of h
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer: 0.0164 molar concentration of hydrochloric acid in the resulting solution.

Explanation:

1) Molarity of 0.250 L HCl solution : 0.0328 M

Molarity=\frac{\text{Number of moles}}{\text{Volume of solution in liters}}=0.0328=\frac{\text{Number of moles}}{0.250 L}

Moles of HCl in 0.250 L solution = 0.0082 moles

2) Molarity of 0.100 L NaOH solution : 0.0245 M

Molarity=\frac{\text{Number of moles}}{\text{Volume of solution in liters}}=0.0245=\frac{\text{Number of moles}}{0.100 L}

Moles of NaOH in 0.100 L solution = 0.00245 moles

3) Concentration of hydrochloric acid in the resulting solution.

0.00245 moles of NaOH will neutralize 0.00245 moles of HCl out of 0.0082 moles of HCl.

Now the new volume of the solution = 0.100 L +0.250 L = 0.350 L

Moles of HCl left un-neutralized = 0.0082 moles - 0.00245 moles =  0.00575 moles

Molarity=\frac{\text{number of moles}}{\text{volume of solution in L}}

Molarity of HCl left un-neutralized :\frac{0.00575 moles}{0.350L}=0.0164 M

0.0164 molar concentration of hydrochloric acid in the resulting solution.

vfiekz [6]
<span>The boiling point of bromine (br2) is lower than iodine monochloride (icl) because icl molecules have a higher melting point. Also, the atoms of iodine monochloride have more electrons causing the intermolecular forces between iodine forces to be stronger. As the iodine forces are stronger, the boiling point will be higher.</span>

Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

This question is incomplete as it lacks options; the options are:

A. His drives are both accurate and precise

B. His drives are precise but not accurate

C. His drives are accurate but not precise

D. His drives are neither accurate nor precise

The correct answer is B. His drives are precise but not accurate

Explanation:

The accuracy of a measurement refers to how close those measurements are to a true or accepted value. Note that, in this case, the normal driver distance of 250 yards is the TRUE OR ACCEPTED VALUE. Observing the three measured values for the driver's distance; 270 yards, 273 yards, and 269 yards, one would notice that these values are far apart from the true value of 250yards. Hence, these measurements are NOT ACCURATE.

On the other hand, PRECISION refers to how close measurements are to one another. In this case, 270yards, 273 yards, 269 yards are close to one another, hence that are said to be PRECISE.

Therefore, according to the measurements, it can be said that HIS DRIVES ARE PRECISE BUT NOT ACCURATE

A sample of nitric acid has a mass of 8.2g. It is dissolved in 1L of water. A 25mL aliquot of this acid is titrated with NaOH. T
AveGali [126]

Answer:

18.075 mL of NaOH solution was added to achieve neutralization

Explanation:

First, let's formulate the chemical reaction between nitric acid and sodium hydroxide:

NaOH + HNO3 → NaNO3 + H2O

From this balanced equation we know that 1 mole of NaOH reacts with 1 mole of HNO3 to achieve neutralization. Let's calculate how many moles we have in the 25 mL aliquot to be titrated:

63.01 g of HNO3 ----- 1 mole

8.2 g of HNO3 ----- x = (8.2 g × 1 mole)/63.01 g = 0.13014 moles of HNO3

So far we added 8.2 grams of nitric acid (0.13014 moles) in 1 L of water.

1000 mL solution ---- 0.13014 moles of HNO3

25 mL (aliquot) ---- x = (25 mL× 0.13014 moles)/1000 mL = 0.0032535 moles

So, we now know that in the 25 mL aliquot to be titrated we have 0.0032535 moles of HNO3. As we stated before, 1 mole of NaOH will react with 1 mole of HNO3, hence 0.0032535 moles of HNO3 have to react with 0.0032535 moles of NaOH to achieve neutralization. Let's calculate then, in which volume of the given NaOH solution we have 0.0032535 moles:

0.18 moles of NaOH ----- 1000 mL Solution

0.0032535 moles---- x=(0.0032535moles×1000 mL)/0.18 moles = 18.075mL

As we can see, we need 18.075 mL of a 0.18 M NaOH solution to titrate a 25 mL aliquot of the prepared HNO3 solution.
