it would be B.Comets are not ever visible from Earth.

Comets travel very fast, loop around the Sun, and have long tails. A comet is a chunk of material left over from the formation of the solar system. ... Because the comets are much smaller and lighter than planets, they are easily pulled this way and that by the gravity of the planets (or, in some cases, even by stars).

Yes. All of the comets in the Kuiper Belt and Oort Cloud are part of the solar system. They orbit our Sun, and obey the same laws of motion as the planets and their moons. Comets also started with the same materials that planets like Earth were made from.

Halley's Comet, for example, is usually very bright when it passes through the inner Solar System every seventy-six years, but during its 1986 apparition, its closest approach to Earth was almost the most distant possible. The comet became visible to the naked eye, but was unspectacular.

As a comet approaches the Sun, it starts to heat up. The ice transforms directly from a solid to a vapor, releasing the dust particles embedded inside. Sunlight and the stream of charged particles flowing from the Sun – the solar wind – sweeps the evaporated material and dust back in a long tail.

Why it is that evaporation causes cooling,but boiling causes heating?
rusak2 [61]
In evaporation due to internal heat, kinetic energy of molecules increases and they come to the top and take out that heat with them when they evaporate thus causes cooling 
in boiling as heat is given to the molecules so their kinetic energy increases and they start vibrating with great energy and thus causes heating

What is the molarity of a solution made by dissolving 8.60 g of a solid with a
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

1.43 M

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the number of mole of the solid. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass of solid = 8.60 g

Molar mass of solid = 21.50 g/mol

Mole of solid =?

Mole = mass / molar mass

Mole of solid = 8.60 / 21.50

Mole of solid = 0.4 mole

Next, we shall convert 280 mL to litre (L). This can be obtained as follow:

1000 mL = 1 L

Therefore,

280 mL = 280 mL × 1 L / 1000 mL

280 mL = 0.28 L

Thus, 280 mL is equivalent to 0.28 L.

Finally, we shall determine the molarity of the solution. This can be obtained as illustrated below:

Mole of solid = 0.4 mole

Volume = 0.28 L

Molarity =?

Molarity = mole / Volume

Molarity = 0.4 / 0.28

Molarity = 1.43 M

Thus, the molarity of the solution is 1.43 M.

Write a balanced equation for the complete combustion of propane, C3H8 . Do not enter phase symbols. Enter the alkane formula as
Anastaziya [24]
Answer:

C3H8 + 5O2 => 3CO2 + 4H2O

Explanation:

Hydrocarbon combustion is the reaction between a hydrocarbon and O2 producing CO2 and water.

C3H8 + O2 => CO2 + H2O

First we balance the C and H.

C3H8 + O2 => 3CO2 + 4H2O

Now we balance O for the answer!

C3H8 + 5O2 => 3CO2 + 4H2O

What is the density (g/L) of NH3 at 105 kpa and 25 C ( 0.721 g/mol)?
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

0.721 g/L

Explanation:

Ideal gas equation ->PV= nRT   ; n= mass (m)/ molar mass (M);

densitiy= mass (m)/ volume (V)

PV= (m/M)*RT  -> PVM= mRT   -> PM/RT= m/V   -> PM/RT=d

We need to put in SI units

105 Kpa= 1.04 atm

25°C= 298 K

d= (1.04 atm * 17 g/ mol)/(0.0821 * 298 K) = 0.721 g/L
