C.
D.
E.

These should be the main reasons. As Pluto was mainly categorized in dwarf planet for not being able to satisfy the last statement which states that it should have a fixed neighbourhood with other planets.

A 126.1-gram block of granite at 92.6°C is dropped into a tub of water at 24.7°C in an isolated system. The final temperature of
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

The granite block transferred <u>4080 J</u> of energy, and the mass of the water is <u>35.8 g</u>.

1. <em>Energy from granite block </em>

The formula for the heat (<em>q</em>) transferred is

<em>q = mC</em>Δ<em>T</em>

<em>m</em> = 126.1 g; <em>C</em> = 0.795 J·°C⁻¹g⁻¹; Δ<em>T</em> = <em>T</em>_f – <em>T</em>_i = 51.9 °C - 92.6 °C = -40.7 °C

∴ <em>q</em> = 126.1 g × 0.795 J·°C⁻¹g⁻¹ × (-40.7 °C) = -4080 J

The granite block transferred 4080 J.

2. <em>Mass of water </em>

<em>q = mC</em>Δ<em>T </em>

<em>m = q</em>/(<em>C</em>Δ<em>T</em>)

<em>q </em>= 4080 J; <em>C</em> = 4.186 J·°C⁻¹g⁻¹; Δ<em>T</em> = <em>T</em>_f – <em>T</em>_i = 51.9 °C – 24.7 °C = 27.2 °C

∴ <em>m</em> = 4080 J/(4.186 J·°C⁻¹g⁻¹ × 27.2 °C) = 35.8 g

The mass of the water is 35.8 g.

Which statement accurately describes the origin and expansion of the universe? As the universe continues to expand, it gradually
dimulka [17.4K]

The answer is; Cosmic background radiation is leftover thermal energy from the big bang.

Called the coming microwave background the  weak radiation fills the universe more or less uniformly. This radiation is the fossil remnants of the postulated big band at the beginning of the universe. The photos produced at the time continue to travel through the universe growing fainter over time and have fallen in the microwave range of the electromagnetic spectrum now.

Two (2) moles of an ideal gas are in a container at 200 kpa and a temperature of 300 k. The volume occupied by the gas in the co
k0ka [10]

The volume occupied by the gas in the container is 1 m³

Boyles law applies

P₁ V₁ = P₂ V₂

Where P₁ = 200kpa

P₂ = 300kpa

if its initial volume is 1.5

then,

P₁ V₁ = P₂ V₂

200 × 1.5 = 300 × V₂

V₂ = 200 × 1.5 / 300

    = 1 m³

Hence  the volume occupied by the gas container is 1 m³

A first-order reaction is 81omplete in 264s. A. What is the half-life for this reaction? b. How long will it take for the reacti
Arlecino [84]

A first-order reaction is 81omplete in 264s.The half-life for this reaction (i) t 1/2 = =3.465×10 −3 s.to reach 95% Completion = 285 s.

To measure reaction rates, chemists initiate the reaction, measure the concentration of the reactant or product at different times as the reaction progresses,

For a 0-order response, the mathematical expression that may be employed to determine the half of life is: t1/2 = [R]0/2k. For a first-order reaction, the half of-existence is given by: t1/2 = zero.693/ok. For a 2d-order response, the method for the half-life of the response is: 1/okay[R]0

The 1/2-life of a response (t1/2), is the quantity of time needed for a reactant concentration to lower via half of compared to its initial awareness. Its software is used in chemistry and medicine to are expecting the awareness of a substance over time

Half of the lifestyles is the time required for exactly 1/2 of the entities to decay   50%.

P1V1 = P2V2

P1 = 720 mmHg
V1 = 450. mL
P2 = 760 mmHg (this is the pressure at STP)

Use these to solve for V2:
(720)(450) = 760V2

V2 = 426 mL
