There are 92 elements that are found in nature. Roughly 80 of those are capable of combining with each other to make compounds, so there are a lot more than 92 compounds.

Example: Take carbon and hydrogen. (please)

Carbon and hydrogen combine to make methane, ethane, propane, pentane, hexane, heptane, octane, butane, and several more 'tanes'.

And if you have some oxygen along with the carbon and hydrogen, you can
make all the alcohols there are, plus vinegar.

Answer:

The time it would take the beef to reach a temperature of 0⁰C is t= 662 sec = 11.93 min

The time it would take to heat the beef to uniform temperature of 80⁰C is

t = 365 sec =5.93 min

Efficient absorption of Microwave power is in regions of liquid water . Hence if the food or the microwave irradiation is not uniform, the power will be absorbed non-uniformly, resulting in a non-uniform temperature rise. Defrost region will absorb more energy per unit volume than frozen region.if food is of low thermal conductivity, there will be insufficient time for heat conduction to make the temperature more uniform.Use of low power allows more time for conduction to occur.

I have a hot air balloon that has 18.0 g helium gas inside of it. if the pressure is 2.00 atm and the temperature is 297k, what

Anastaziya [24]

M = molar mass of the helium gas = 4.0 g/mol

m = mass of the gas given = 18.0 g

n = number of moles of the gas

number of moles of the gas is given as

n = m/M

n = 18.0/4.0

n = 4.5 moles

P = pressure = 2.00 atm = 2.00 x 101325 Pa = 202650 Pa

V = Volume of balloon = ?

T = temperature = 297 K

R = universal gas constant = 8.314

Using the ideal gas equation

P V = n R T

(202650) V = (4.5) (8.314) (297)

V = 0.055 m³

If light energy to electric energy conversion using solar cells is 12 % efficient, how many square miles of land must be covered

umka2103 [35]

Complete Question

The light energy that falls on a square meter of ground over the course of a typical sunny day is about 20 MJ . The average rate of electric energy consumption in one house is 1.0 kW .

If light energy to electric energy conversion using solar cells is 12 % efficient, how many square miles of land must be covered with solar cells to supply the electrical energy for 350000 houses? Assume there is no cloud cover.

Answer:

The area is $A = 1.26 *10^{7} m^2$
