Answer:

Explanation:

Calories is a unit to measure the amount of energy contained in a particular food product. It is regarded as the energy required to raise the temperature of 1g of water by 1°C.

It is important note that calories measures the heat content of food we eat and consume. Therefore, there is a direct relationship between the release of energy as heat and the calories. The more the calories, the more the energy that would be released as heat.

Sodium carbonate (na2co3) is used to neutralize the sulfuric acid spill. how many kilograms of sodium carbonate must be added to

irga5000 [103]

Sodium carbonate is used to neutralised sulfuric acid, H₂SO₄. Sodium carbonate is the salt of stron base (NaOH) and weak acid (H₂CO₃). The balanced chemical reaction for neutralization is as follows:

Na₂CO₃ + H₂SO₄→ Na₂SO₄ + H₂CO₃

From balanced chemical equation, it is clear that one mole of Na₂CO₃ is required to neutralize one mole of H₂SO₄. Molar mass of Na₂CO₃= 106 g/mol=0.106 kg/mol and molar mass of H₂SO₄= 98 g/mol=0.098 kg/mol.

To neutralize 0.098 kg of H₂SO₄ amount of Na₂CO₃ required is 0.106 kg, so, to neutralize 5.04×10³ kg of H₂SO₄, Na₂CO₃ required is= $\frac{0.106 X 5.04 X 10^{3} }{0.098}$ kg= 5.451 X 10³ kg.

What is the (a) frequency and (b) wavelength (in nm) of a source of purple light at the edge of the visible light spectrum?

stiv31 [10]

Answer: a) $Frequency=666\times10^{12}Hz-789\times10^{12}Hz$

b) $Wavelength=380nm-450nm$

Explanation: Visible light is a form of electromagnetic wave.

Wavelength is defined as the distance between two successive crests of a wave. It is represented as symbol $\lambda$ .

Frequency is defined as the number of complete cycles happening per second. It is represented by the symbol $\nu$ .

Wavelength and Frequency follow inverse relation,

$\nu=\frac{c}{\lambda}$

where, c = speed of light = $3\times10^8m/s$

Wavelength and frequency of a wave is usually expressed in a range.

a) $\text{Frequency of visible light}=666\times10^{12}Hz-789\times10^{12}Hz$

b) $\text{Wavelength of visible light}=380nm-450nm$

Answer:

The correct answer is -

FALSIFIABLE:

Aloe vera gel can heal wounds by boosting cell renewal.

Drinking aloe juice can reduce the risk of lung cancer.

NON-FALSIFIABLE:

Aloe vera gel is the best natural skin moisturizer.

Aloe vera juice tastes better than carrot juice.

Explanation:

Falsifiable is the ability or chances of any hypothesis, claim or statement to be proved wrong. In such a hypothesis, it is possible to carry an experimental observation that disproves the idea in claim or question.

In the given examples

Aloe vera gel can heal wounds by boosting cell renewal.

Drinking aloe juice can reduce the risk of lung cancer.

There is no observation in the favor of the claim so there more likely to be falsifiable whereas, Aloe vera gel is the best natural skin moisturizer.

Aloe vera juice tastes better than carrot juice are more non-falsifiable as these are based on personal choice or experimental observation.

How many liters of carbon dioxide will be produced when 89.5 L of ethane are burned? (One mole of any gas occupies 22.4 L under

yan [13]

Answer:

179 L of CO2

Explanation:

Given the equation of the reaction;

C2H6(g) + 7/2 O2(g) -------> 2CO2(g) + 3H2O(g)

Now 1 mole of ethane yields 2 moles of CO2 from the balanced reaction equation

1 mole of a gas occupies 22.4 L volume so,

22.4 L of ethane yields 44.8 L of CO2

89.5 L of ethane yields 89.5 * 44.8/22.4 = 179 L of CO2

MAVERICK [17]

The answer is no. 5 grams are equal to 5 milligrams.

"Milli" means million so a milligram is one-millionth of a gram.
