2 answers:

7 0

Length of 1 side 1.2*10^-5km =1.2*10^-5*10^5 =1.2cm

volume of the cube (1.2)^3=1.728 cm^3 

density= mass/volume= 1.1/1.728=0.636 g/cm^3

Answer:

$0.6366 g/cm^3$ is the density of the cubic plastic.

Explanation:

Mass of the cubic block= m = 1.1 g

Volume of the cubic block = V

Volume of the cube = $a^3$

a = side length = $1.2\times 10^{-5} km = 1.2 cm$

1 km = 100,000 cm

Volume of cubic block = $V=(12 cm)^3=1.728 cm^3$

Density of the solid block,d = ?

$Density=\frac{Mass}{Volume}$

$d=\frac{m}{V}=\frac{1.1 g}{1.728 cm^3}=0.6366 g/cm^3$

$0.6366 g/cm^3$ is the density of the cubic plastic.

1.) Which of the following is an example of using creativity while doing background research?

adoni [48]

1) Answer is: D. Writing a hypothesis.

The scientific method is a process for experimentation that is used to explore observations.

Steps of the scientific method:

1) ask a question about something that is observed.

2) do background research.

3) construct a hypothesis, an attempt to answer questions with an explanation that can be tested.

4) test of hypothesis.

5) analyze collected data and draw a conclusion.

2) Answer is: A. Carbon and oxygen are chemically bonded in it.

A compound (in this example carbon dioxide CO₂) is a pure substance because its molecule cannot be broken down into simpler particles by physical means.

A chemical compound is a chemical substance composed of many identical molecules composed of atoms held together by chemical bonds.

Carbon dioxide (CO₂) are inorganic compounds with covalent bonds between carbon and oxygen.

3) Answer is: B. Components that are mixed can be in different states of matter.

A single substance can be used to make a mixture if the substance is composed of more than one element is not correct, because mixture is composed of at least two substances. For example mixture of water and alcohol ethanol.

There is a definite recipe to make each mixture, so the composition of a mixture is set is not correct, because composition of mixture can vary.

Components that are mixed can be in different states of matter is correct, for example mixture of salt (solid) and water (liquid).

Explain the process of fossil fuel formation.

topjm [15]

Explanation:

Fossil fuel is an overall term for covered ignitable geologic stores of natural materials, framed from rotted plants and creatures that have been changed over to unrefined petroleum, coal, flammable gas, or weighty oils by introduction to warmth and weight in the world's outside more than a huge number of years.

The consuming of petroleum products by people is the biggest wellspring of emanations of carbon dioxide, which is one of the ozone depleting substances that permits radiative compelling and adds to an unnatural weather change.

A little bit of hydrocarbon-based powers are biofuels gotten from climatic carbon dioxide, and consequently don't build the net measure of carbon dioxide in the environment.

What is oxidized in a galvanic cell with aluminum and gold electrodes ?

k0ka [10]

Answer:

Aluminum metal

Explanation:

In order to properly answer this or a similar question, we need to know some basic rules about galvanic cells and standard reduction potentials.

First of all, your strategy would be to find a trusted source or the table of standard reduction potentials. You would then need to find the half-equations for aluminum and gold reduction:

$Al^{3+}+3e^-\rightarrow Al; E^o=-1.66 V$

$Au^{3+}+3e^-\rightarrow Au; E^o=1.50 V$

Since we have a galvanic cell, the overall reaction is spontaneous. A spontaneous reaction indicates that the overall cell potential should be positive.

Since one half-equation should be an oxidation reaction (oxidation is loss of electrons) and one should be a reduction reaction (reduction is gain of electrons), one of these should be reversed.

Thinking simply, if the overall cell potential would be obtained by adding the two potentials, in order to acquite a positive number in the sum of potentials, we may only reverse the half-equation of aluminum (this would change the sign of E to positive): $Al\rightarrow Al^{3+}+3e^-; E^o=1.66 V\\Au^{3+}+3e^-\rightarrow Au; E^o=1.50 V$

Notice that the overall cell potential upon summing is:

$E_{cell}=1.66 V + 1.50 V=3.16 V$

Meaning we obey the law of galvanic cells.

Since oxidation is loss of electrons, notice that the loss of electrons takes place in the half-equation of aluminum: solid aluminum electrode loses 3 electrons to become aluminum cation.

The gas phase reaction, A2 + B2 ---->2AB, proceeds by bimolecular collisions between A2 and B2 c,o(\'e'9 molecules. The rate

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

The reaction rate becomes quadruple.

Explanation:

According to the law of mass action:-

The rate of the reaction is directly proportional to the active concentration of the reactant which each are raised to the experimentally determined coefficients which are known as orders. The rate is determined by the slowest step in the reaction mechanics.

Order of in the mass action law is the coefficient which is raised to the active concentration of the reactants. It is experimentally determined and can be zero, positive negative or fractional.

The order of the whole reaction is the sum of the order of each reactant which is raised to its power in the rate law.

Thus,

Given that:- The rate law is:-

$r=k[A_2][B_2]$
