What is the formula for speed of light?

Chemistry

<span><span>There is no formula. The speed of light is a fundamental constant which appears in other formulas but there’s no formula to compute the numerical value.Well, actually, that’s not quite right. The numerical value in meters per second is known exactly, because we use the speed of light to define the meter. It is: <span><span><span>c=299,792,458 m/s</span><span>c=299,792,458 m/s</span></span> </span>. Exactly. But the thing is — this value is purely an artifact of our unit system. Other unit systems will give other values, so the number value is entirely arbitrary.</span></span>

I think it is "Known".

Radioactive decay is measured using a formula where the half-life <span>of an isotope is the time it takes for the original nuclei to decay half of its original amount.</span>

D-Fructose is the sweetest monosaccharide. How does the Fischer projection of D-fructose differ from that of D-glucose? Match th
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

aldehyde

carbon-1

ketone

carbon-2

Explanation:

Monosaccharides are colorless crystalline solids that are very soluble in water. Moat have a swwet taste. D-Fructose is the sweetest monosaccharide.

In the open chain form, monosaaccharides have a carbonuyl group in one of their chains. If the carbonyl group is in the form of an aldehyde group, the monosaccharide is an aldose; if the carbonyl group is in the form of a ketone group, the monosaccharide is known as a ketose. glucose is an aldose while fructose is a ketose.

In D-glucose, there is an aldehyde functional group, and the carbonyl group is at carbon-1 when looking at the Fischer projection.

In D-fructose, there is a ketone functional group, and the carbonyl group is at carbon-2 when looking at the Fischer projection.

Calculate the concentration of formate in a 100mm solution of formic acid at ph 4.15. The pka for formic acid is 3.75
MissTica

The molarity of formic acid is 100 mM or 100\times 10^{-3}M. The dissociation reaction of formic acid is as follows:

HCOOH\leftrightharpoons HCOO^{-}+H^{+}

The expression for dissociation constant of the reaction will be:

K_{a}=\frac{[HCOO^{-}][H^{+}]}{[HCOOH]}

Rearranging,

[HCOO^{-}]=\frac{K_{a}[HCOOH]}{[H^{+}]}

Here, pH of solution is 4.15 thus, concentration of hydrogen ion will be:

[H^{+}]=10^{-pH}=10^{-4.15}=7.08\times 10^{-5}M

Similarly, pK_{a}=3.75 thus,

[K_{a}=10^{-pK_{a}}=10^{-3.75}=1.78\times 10^{-4}M

Putting the values,

[HCOO^{-}]=\frac{(1.78\times 10^{-4}M)(100\times 10^{-3}M)}{(7.08\times 10^{-5}M}=0.2511 M

Therefore, the concentration of formate will be 0.2511 M.

A sugar crystal contains approximately 1.4×1017 sucrose (C12H22O11) molecules. What is its mass in milligrams? Express using 2 s
alekssr [168]

Answer:

From the periodic table:

mass of carbon = 12 grams

mass of hydrogen = 1 grams

mass of oxygen = 16 grams

molar mass of surcose = 12(12) + 22(1) + 11(16) = 342 grams

number of molecules = number of moles x Avogadro's number

number of moles = number of molecules / Avogadro's number

number of moles = (2.2x10^17) / (6.02x10^23) = 3.6544 x 10^-7 moles

number of moles = mass / molar mass

mass = number of moles x molar mass

= 1.7 x 10^17/6.022 x 10^23.
