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.

The mole fraction of iodine, i2, dissolved in dichloromethane, ch2cl2, is 0.115. what is the molal concentration, m, of iodine i
german
The molality of a solute is equal to the moles of solute per kg of solvent. We are given the mole fraction of I₂ in CH₂Cl₂ is <em>X</em> = 0.115. If we can an arbitrary sample of 1 mole of solution, we will have:

0.115 mol I₂

1 - 0.115 = 0.885 mol CH₂Cl₂

We need moles of solute, which we have, and must convert our moles of solvent to kg:

0.885 mol x 84.93 g/mol = 75.2 g CH₂Cl₂ x 1 kg/1000g = 0.0752 kg CH₂Cl₂

We can now calculate the molality:

m = 0.115 mol I₂/0.0752 kg CH₂Cl₂
m = 1.53 mol I₂/kg CH₂Cl₂

The molality of the iodine solution is 1.53.

E)¿Cuántos átomos de oxigeno hay en la molécula de glucosa, al reaccionar 12moleculas de agua?
elena55 [62]

Answer:

12 átomos de oxígeno hay presentes

Explanation:

Basados en la reacción:

6CO₂ + 6H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

<em>6 moles de agua producen 1 mol de glucosa</em>

<em />

Si reaccionan 12 moleculas de agua, se producirán:

12 moleculas H₂O * (1 mol C₆H₁₂O₆ / 6 mol H₂O) =

2 moléculas de glucosa se producen.

Como cada molécula de glucosa tiene 6 átomos de oxígeno:

2 moléculas C₆H₁₂O₆ * (6 átomos Oxígeno / 1 molécula C₆H₁₂O₆) =

<h3>12 átomos de oxígeno hay presentes</h3>

650. J is the same amount of energy as A. 155 cal. B. 2720 calC. 650 cal.D. 1550 cal.
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

A\text{ : 155 cal}

Explanation:

Here, we want to convert J to cal

Mathematically:

1\text{ cal = 4.186 J}

Thus, to get our answer in cal, we divide the value given by 4.186

We have that as:

\frac{650}{4.186}\text{ = 155 cal}

JWL 3.R 1.096776 x 107 m) L) 384.6 nm C) 683.8 nm D) 1282 nm E) &gt;1500 nm Ans: D According to the Rydberg equation, the line w
sesenic [268]

Answer:

91.2 nm

Explanation:

The Rydberg equation is given by the formula

     1/ λ  = Rh ( 1/ n₁² - 1/ n₂²)

where

λ is the wavelength

Rh is Rydberg constant

and n₁ and n₂ are the energy levels of the transion.

We can see from this equation that the wavelength is inversely proportional to the difference of the squares of the inverse of the quantum numbers n₁ and n₂. It follows then that the smallest wavelength will be given when the the transitions are between the greatest separation between n₁ and n₂ whicg occurs when n1= 1 and n₂= ∞ , that is the greater the separation in energy levels the shorter the wavelength.

Substituting for n₁ and n₂ and solving for λ :

  1/λ = 1.0974 x 10⁷ m⁻¹ x ( 1/1² -1/ ∞²)  =  1.0974 x 10⁷ m⁻¹ x ( 1/1² - 0) =

  λ = 1/1.0974 x 10⁷ m = 9.1 x 10⁻8 m = 91.2 nm
