Answer:

442.36038 m or 1451.31362 ft

Explanation:

P_1 = Initial pressure = 30.15 inHg

P_2 = Final pressure = 28.607 inHg

\rho = Density of air  = 0.075 lb/ft³

1\ lb/ft^3=16.0185\ kg/m^3

1\ in=0.0254\ m

1\ m=3.28084\ ft

Density of mercury = 13560 kg/m³

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

Difference in pressure is given by

P_1-P_2=\rho gh\\\Rightarrow h=\frac{P_1-P_2}{\rho g}\\\Rightarrow h=\frac{(30.15-28.607)\times 13560\times 0.0254\times 9.81}{0.075\times 16.0185\times 9.81}\\\Rightarrow h=442.36038\ m\\\Rightarrow h=442.36038\times 3.28084\\\Rightarrow h=1451.31362\ ft

The height of the building is 442.36038 m or 1451.31362 ft

Most of the really bright stars in our sky are NOT among the stars that are very close to us. Why then do they look so bright to
Yanka [14]

Answer:

stars will emit more light due to their Luminosity, so they look very bright.

Explanation:

Luminous refers to..,

  • The total amount of energy radiated by a star or other celestial object per second.
  • Therefore it is the power output of a star.

Most of the really bright stars in our sky are not that very close to us yet they look bright because of the Luminosity of the star.

These stars are intrinsically so luminous.

A star's power output across all wavelengths is called its bolometric luminosity.

A star with large luminosity will have more measure of radiated electromagnetic power meaning.

so it will emit more light than a low luminosity star.

Hence,

those stars can easily be seen even across great distance.

What must be true about a surface in order for diffuse reflection to occur?
balu736 [363]

Answer:

carpet

Explanation:

Diffuse reflection is the reflection of light from a surface such that an incident ray is reflected at many angles rather than at just one angle as in the case of specular reflection.

The structure of carpet's surface is as shown. Thus it shows large amount of diffuse reflection.

Percent Yield Lab Report
Vlada [557]

Based on the data obtained from the reaction, the following conclusions can be made;

  • according to the law of conservation of mass, the mass of the product was higher than the reactant because of the mass of oxygen added during the combustion.
  • the percent yield is less than 100% because of loss in mass of either reactants or products.
  • the errors could have occurred during the weighing and transfer of reactants and products
  • repeated measurements are required in order to improve accuracy

<h3>What is the percent yield of the reaction?</h3>

Equation of the reaction is given below:

  • 2 Mg + O₂ ----> 2 MgO

Trial 1

Mass of empty crucible with lid = 26.698 (g)

Mass of Mg metal, crucible, and lid  = 27.040 (g)

Mass of MgO, crucible, and lid = 27.198 (g)

Mass of metal = 27.040 - 26.698 = 0.342

Mass of MgO = 27.198 - 26.698 = 0.500

<h3>Moles of Mg used</h3>

moles of Mg = mass/molar mass

  • molar mass of Mg = 24 g

moles of Mg = 0.342/24 = 0.01425

<h3>Moles of MgO expected</h3>

Based on the equation of reaction;

moles of MgO expected = 0.01425

moles of MgO produced =  mass/molar mass

  • molar mass of MgO = 40 g/mol

moles of MgO produced = 0.500/40 = 0.0125

<h3>Percent yield</h3>
  • Percent yield = (moles of MgO produced/moles of MgO expected) * 100%

Percentage yield = 0.0125/0.01425 * 100%

Percent yield of MgO = 87.7%

Trial 2

Mass of empty crucible with lid = 26.691 (g)

Mass of Mg metal, crucible, and lid = 27.099 (g)

Mass of MgO, crucible, and lid = 27.361 (g)

Mass of metal = 27.099 - 26.691 = 0.408

Mass of MgO = 27.361 - 26.691 = 0.670

<h3>Moles of Mg used</h3>

moles of Mg = mass/molar mass

  • molar mass of Mg = 24 g

moles of Mg = 0.408/24 = 0.0170

<h3>Moles of MgO expected</h3>

Based on the equation of reaction;

moles of MgO expected = 0.0170

  • moles of MgO produced =  mass/molar mass

molar mass of MgO = 40 g/mol

moles of MgO produced = 0.670/40 = 0.01675

<h3>Percent yield</h3>
  • Percent yield = (moles of MgO produced/moles of MgO expected) * 100%

Percent yield = 0.01675/0.0170 * 100%

Percent yield of MgO = 98.5%

Average percent yield = (87.7 + 98.5)% / 2

Average percent yield = 89.0%

Based on the data obtained from the reaction, the following conclusion can be made;

  • according to the law of conservation of mass, the mass of the product was higher than the reactant because of the mass of oxygen added during the combustion.
  • the percent yield is less than 100% because of loss in mass of either reactants or products.
  • the errors could have occurred during the weighing and transfer of reactants and products
  • repeated measurements are required in order to improve accuracy
