Answer:- The speed of the satellite is 7.6 kilometer per second.

Solution:- It's a unit conversion problem that could be solved using dimensional analysis.

The given speed of the satellite is 17000 miles per hour and we are asked to convert it to kilometers per second.

given: 1 Kilometer = 0.62 mile

1 hour = 3600 second

Let's use this given info and plug in the values:

17000(\frac{mile}{hour})*(\frac{1 kilometer}{0.62 mile})*(\frac{1 hour}{3600 second})

= 7.6(\frac{kilometer}{second})

We round the answer to two significant figures, since the given number(17000) has only two significant figures.

So, answer is 7.6 kilometer per second.

Another chemistry question i’m not good at this at all:( has me stressed
adoni [48]

Answer:

Average atomic mass = 15.86 amu.

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of atoms of Z-16.000 amu = 205

Number of atoms of Z-14.000 amu = 15

Average atomic mass  = ?

Solution:

Total number of atoms = 205 + 15 = 220

Percentage of Z-16.000 = 205/220 ×100 = 93.18%

Percentage of Z-14.000 = 15/220 ×100 = 6.82 %

Average atomic mass  = (abundance of 1st isotope × its atomic mass) +(abundance of 2nd isotope × its atomic mass)  / 100

Average atomic mass  = (93.18×16.000)+(6.82×14.000) /100

Average atomic mass =  1490.88 + 95.48 / 100

Average atomic mass =  1586.36 / 100

Average atomic mass = 15.86 amu.

All of the questions here are pertaining to the colligative properties of a solution and the preparation of solutions. Maybe, it would be best if you understand the equations to be used in order to answer these questions.<span>
Freezing point depression or Boiling point elevation:

</span><span>ΔT = -K (m) (i)

</span>ΔT is the change in the freezing point or the boiling point not the freezing point/boiling point. Therefore, it should be added to the original value of the property of the solvent. 
<span>
K is a constant called the molal freezing point depression constant and for the boiling point is the boiling point elevation constant. It is a property of the solvent. 
</span><span>
m is the concentration of the solute in the solvent in terms of molality or kg solute/kg solvent. 
</span><span>
i is the vant hoff factor which will represent the number of ions which the solute dissociates when in solution.</span>
