Explanation:

All matter has mass and occupies space. Volume is a measure of how much space an object occupies. ... "Mass" only depends on how much matter is in an object. "Weight", on the other hand, depends on how strongly gravity pulls on an object.

There are 50 fish in the pond that have tags. You catch 25 fish, and 5 of them have tags. What is the best estimate of the numbe

sergeinik [125]

Answer: 250

Explanation:

You work this problem by using proportions.

A proportion is the equalization of two ratios.

Here you assume that the ratio of fish with tags to total fish that you catch is the same than the ratio of fish with tags to total fish in the pond.

Mathematically:

5 fish with tag / 25 fish = 50 fish with tag / x

5 / 25 = 50 / x

Solve for x:

Multiplication property of equality: x × 5 = 50 × 25
Division property of equality: x = 50 × 25 / 5
Result: 250

Mercury has an atomic mass of 200.59 amu. calculate the mass of 3.0 x 10^10 atoms

Licemer1 [7]

To determine mass of the given number of atoms of mercury, we need a factor that would relate the number of atoms to number of moles. In this case, we use the Avogadro's number. It is a number that represents the number of units in one mole of any substance. This has the value of 6.022 x 10^23 units / mole. The number of units could be atoms, molecules, ions or electrons. To convert into mass, we use the given amu of mercury since it is equal to grams per mole. We calculate as follows:

3.0 x 10^10 atoms ( 1 mol / 6.022 x 10^23 atoms ) ( 200.59 g / 1 mol ) = 9.99x10^-12 g Hg

Water vapor enters a compressor at 35 kpa and 160°c and leaves at 300 kpa with the same specific entropy as at the inlet. What a

Annette [7]

<h3>solution:</h3>

The initial entropy is obtained from the initial pressure and temperature with data from A-6 using interpolation:

s= 8.2652 kJ/kgK

The final temperature is determined from the entropy and the final pressure with data from A-6 using interpolation:

T₂ = T₁+ T₂ - T₁/ 8₂ - 8₁ ( s - s₁)

= (400 + 500 - 400/8.3271 - 8.0347 (8.2652 - 8))

= 478.83°C

The final enthalpy is determined in the same way:

h₂= h₁ + h₂ - h₁/s₂ - s₁ ( s - s₁)

= ( 3275.5+ 3486.6 - 3275.5/ 8.3271 - 8.0347) (8.265)

= 3441.91 kJ/kg

How do metals become stable?

natali 33 [55]

Answer:

Atoms of metal elements give away electrons in their reactions to form positive ions. The ions formed have a full outer electron shell, so are very stable.

Explanation:

To become stable, the metal atom wants to get rid of one or more electrons in its outer shell. ... Alternately, an atom that loses electrons becomes a positively charged ion (aka cations). The particles in an ionic compound are held together because there are oppositely charged particles that are attracted to one another.
