Answer:

The time taken to travel is, t = 12 minutes

Explanation:

Given data,

The speed of the car, v = 60 km/h

The distance of travel, d = 12 km

The time taken for the travel is t = ?

The speed is defined as the distance divided by the time taken to travel. The formula for speed is,

v = d/t

∴ t = d/v

t = 12 km / 60 km/h

t = 0.2 h

t = 12 minutes

Hence, the time taken to travel is, t = 12 minutes.

Answer:

Explanation:

(a)

Since the earth is assumed to be a sphere.

Volume of atmosphere = volume of (earth +atm osphere) — volume of earth

$= \frac{4}{3}\pi(6400+ 50)^3 - \frac{4}{3}\pi (6400)
^3\\\\= \frac{4}{3}\pi(6192125000) km’^3\\= 2.6\times 10^{19} m^3$

Hence the volume of atmosphere is $2.6\times 10^{19} m^3$

(b)

Write the ideal gas equation as foll ows:

$PV = nRT\\\\n\frac{0.20atm\times 2.6\times10^{19} m^3}{0.08206L\, atm/mok\, K \times (15+273+15)K}\times \frac{1L}{10^{-3}m^3}\\\\= 2.20\times 10^{20} moles$

$no.\, of\, molecules = 2.20\times 10^{20} moles \times \frac{6.022\times10^{23}\,molecules}{1mole}= 13.3\times10^{43} molecules
$

Hence the required molecules is $13.3\times10^{43} molecules
$

(c)

Write the ideal gas equation as follows:

$PV =nRT
\\\\n=\frac{1.0 atm \times 0.5L
}{0.08206 L\, atm/mol\,K \times (37 +273.1 5)K} = 0.0196 moles$

$no.\, of\, molecules = 0.0196 moles \times\frac{6.022\times10^{23} molecules}
{Imole}= 1.2\times 10^{23} molecules$

Hence the required molecules in Caesar breath is $1.2\times 10^{23} molecules$

(d)

Volume fraction in Caesar last breath is as follows:

$Fraction,\, X =\frac{12\times 10 molecules}{13.3\times 10^{43} \,molecules}= 9.0\times 10\, molecule/air\, molecule}$

(e)

Since the volume capacity of the human body is 500 mL.

$Volume\, of\, Caesar\, nreath\, inhale\, is =\frac{ 12\times 10^{22}\, molecules}{breath}\times \frac{9.0\times10^{-23} molecule}{air\, molecule}\\\\= 1.08 molecule/breath$

When you have a pot of water on the stove, heat is transferred to the water. Describe the behavior of the water molecules and ho

NikAS [45]

<span>Temperature causes water molecules to move more quickly, because each individual molecule has more energy as it gets hotter (according to Kinetic molecular theory). If you get water hot enough, the molecules move so much that the hydrogen bonds that hold them together start to break and the water becomes a gas ... water vapor. This your answer unless there are choices.</span>
