Why do the planets move in fixed orbits around the Sun?

Chemistry
1 answer:
quester [9]4 years ago
6 0

Answer: Gravity.

Explanation:

Newton realized that the reason the planets orbit the Sun is related to why objects fall to Earth when we drop them. The Sun's gravity pulls on the planets, just as Earth's gravity pulls down anything that is not held up by some other force and keeps you and me on the ground.

A19.0g sample of brass, which has a specific heat capacity of 0.375·J*g^−1°C−, is dropped into an insulated container containing
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

The final temperature is 20.3 °C

Explanation:

Considering that:-

Heat gain by water = Heat lost by brass

Thus,  

m_{water}\times C_{water}\times (T_f-T_i)=-m_{brass}\times C_{brass}\times (T_f-T_i)

Where, negative sign signifies heat loss

Or,  

m_{water}\times C_{water}\times (T_f-T_i)=m_{brass}\times C_{brass}\times (T_i-T_f)

For water:

Mass = 300.0 g

Initial temperature = 20.0 °C

Specific heat of water = 4.184 J/g°C

For brass:

Mass = 19.0 g

Initial temperature = 81.7 °C

Specific heat of water = 0.375 J/g°C

So,  

300.0\times 4.184\times (T_f-20.0)=19.0\times 0.375\times (81.7-T_f)

1255.2T_f-25104=582.1125-7.125T_f

1262.325T_f=25686.1125

T_f = 20.3\ ^0C

<u>Hence, the final temperature is 20.3 °C</u>

Below are shown, for five metals, reduction reactions and standard electrode potential values. which of these metals is the leas
just olya [345]
Above question is incomplete. Complete question is attached below
........................................................................................................................
Solution:
Reduction potential of metal ions are provided below. Higher the value to reduction potential, greater is the tendency of metal to remain in reduced state.

In present case, reduction potential of Au is maximum, hence it is least prone to undergo oxidation. Hence, it is least reactive.

On other hand, reduction potential of Na is minimum, hence it is most prone to undergo oxidation. Hence, it is most reactive.

Write the rate expression for the following reaction. H2+1/2 <br>O2 arrow H2O​
julsineya [31]

Answer:

r=-k[H_2][O_2]^{1/2}

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, according to the chemical reaction:

H2 + 1/2  O2 --> H2O​

Since both hydrogen and oxygen are the reactants and the rate laws are written in terms of the concentration of reactants and the rate constant, we obtain:

r=-k[H_2][O_2]^{1/2}

Whereas the negative sign represents the consumption of those reactants and the power 1/2 the stoichiometric coefficient of oxygen in the reaction.

Best regards!

A 20.0 ml sample of glycerol has a mass of 25.2 grams. What is the mass of 63 ml sample of glycerol?
poizon [28]

The mass of 63 ml sample : 79.38 g

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

20 ml and 25.2 g of glycerol

Required

The mass of 63 ml sample

Solution

Density is the ratio of mass per unit volume

Density formula:

\large{\boxed {\bold {\rho~=~ \frac {m} {V}}}}

Density of glycerol :

= m : V

= 25.2 g : 20 ml

= 1.26 g/ml

Mass of 63 ml sample :

= density x volume

= 1.26 g/ml x 63 ml

= 79.38 g

If I leave 750 mL of a 0.40 M sodium chloride solution uncovered on a windowsill
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

B. 0.5 molar

Explanation:

Given data:

Initial concentration = 0.40 M

Initial volume = 750 mL

Final volume =750  -  150 mL = 600 mL

Final concentration = ?

Solution:

Molarity is the number of moles of solutes in litter of solvent. In given problem it is stated that when the solution is uncovered solvent evaporate it means molarity is changed. we can calculate the new molarity with the following formula.

C₁V₁ = C₂V₂

C₁ = initial concentration

V₁ = initial volume

C₂ = final concentration

V₂ = final volume

Now we will put the values in formula.

C₁V₁ = C₂V₂

0.40 M × 750 mL = C₂ × 600 mL

300 M.mL / 600 mL = C₂

0.5 M = C₂
