<span>We need to calculate the number of seconds in one year. time = (365 days) (24 hours/day) (3600 seconds/hour) time = 31536000 seconds We can calculate the distance that light travels in this many seconds. distance = speed x time distance = (3.00 x 10^8 m/s) (31536000 seconds) distance = 9.46 x 10^{15} meters A light year is 9.46 x 10^{15} meters</span>

A 1.11 kg piece of aluminum at 78.3 c is put into a glass with 0.210 kg of water at 15.0
ValentinkaMS [17]

M = mass of aluminium = 1.11 kg

c_{a} = specific heat of aluminium = 900

T_{ai} = initial temperature of aluminium = 78.3 c

m = mass of water = 0.210 kg

c_{w} = specific heat of water = 4186

T_{wi} = initial temperature of water = 15 c

T = final equilibrium temperature = ?

using conservation of heat

Heat lost by aluminium = heat gained by water

M c_{a} (T_{ai} - T) = m c_{w} (T - T_{wi} )

(1.11) (900) (78.3 - T) = (0.210) (4186) (T - 15)

T = 48.7 c

Help with this question please.
mr Goodwill [35]

There are 4 hydrogens on the right side (2\mathrm H_2=4\mathrm H), and 2 hydrogens on the left per molecule of \mathrm H_2. To get the same number of hydrogens on both sides, the coefficient should be 2.

(Then the number of oxygens will be consistent, since 2\mathrm H_2\mathrm O contributes 2 oxygens, and so does \mathrm O_2.)

The force of gravity on Jupiter is much stronger than the force of gravity on earth what is the answer?
Pachacha [2.7K]

This would be true. On Jupiter you would weigh 234 pounds if you were 100 pounds on Earth.

When an oxygen atom forms an ion, it gains two electrons. What is the electrical charge of the oxygen ion?
Mashutka [201]
-2. This is because it is gaining electrons. Electrons are negative. Therefore it is a negative charge.
