The variable we have to determine for this problem is the time. Since the given information is speed, we have to know the distance so that we can solve for the time. From literature, the distance between the Earth and the moon is 384,400,000 meters. Therefore,

Speed = Distance/Time
Time = Distance/Speed
Time = 384,400,000 m/ 3×10⁸ m/s = 1.28 seconds

jarptica [38.1K]

The atomic number (Z) uniquely identifies a chemical element. In an uncharged atom, the atomic number is also equal to the number of electrons.

The atomic number, Z, should not be confused with the mass number, A, which is the number of nucleons, the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom.

In this video Kristine Born explains this two concepts in more detail.

How long does it take for a 12.62g sample of ammonia to heat from 209K to 367K if heated at a constant rate of 6.0kj/min? The me
Georgia [21]
First, consider the steps to heat the sample from 209 K to 367K.

1) Heating in liquid state from 209 K to 239.82 K

2) Vaporaizing at 239.82 K

3) Heating in gaseous state from 239.82 K to 367 K.


Second, calculate the amount of heat required for each step.

1) Liquid heating

Ammonia = NH3 => molar mass = 14.0 g/mol + 3*1g/mol = 17g/mol

=> number of moles = 12.62 g / 17 g/mol = 0.742 mol

Heat1 = #moles * heat capacity * ΔT

Heat1 = 0.742 mol * 80.8 J/mol*K * (239.82K - 209K) = 1,847.77 J

2) Vaporization

Heat2 = # moles * H vap

Heat2 = 0.742 mol * 23.33 kJ/mol = 17.31 kJ = 17310 J

3) Vapor heating

Heat3 = #moles * heat capacity * ΔT

Heat3 = 0.742 mol * 35.06 J / (mol*K) * (367K - 239.82K) = 3,308.53 J

Third, add up the heats for every steps:

Total heat = 1,847.77 J + 17,310 J + 3,308.53 J = 22,466.3 J

Fourth, divide the total heat by the heat rate:

Time = 22,466.3 J / (6000.0 J/min) = 3.7 min

Answer: 3.7 min
