When sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) is heated, it becomes sodium carbonate. In this process water and carbon dioxide is released. The CO2 starves the fire of 02.

Yes but only small grease fires. But if it's a huge fire you'll probably need alot of baking soda

Suppose a star the size of our Sun, but with mass 9.0 times as great, were rotating at a speed of 1.0 revolution every 7.0 days.

kvasek [131]

Answer:

Its rotation will be 3.89x10⁴ rad/s.

Explanation:

We can find the rotation speed by conservation of the angular momentum:

$L_{i} = L_{f}$

$I_{i}\omega_{i} = I_{f}\omega_{f}$ (1)

The initial angular speed is:

$\omega_{i} = \frac{1 rev}{7 d} = 0.14 \frac{rev}{d}$

The moment of inertia (I) of a sphere is:

$I = \frac{2}{5}mr^{2}$ (2)

Where m is 9 times the sun's mass and r is the sun's radius

By entering equation (2) into (1) we have:

$\frac{2}{5}m_{i}r_{i}^{2}\omega_{i} = \frac{2}{5}m_{f}r_{f}^{2}\omega_{f}$

$9m_{sun}(696342 km)^{2}0.14\frac{rev}{d} = \frac{3}{4}9m_{sun}(13 km)^{2}\omega_{f}$

$\omega_{f} = \frac{4}{3}*0.14 \frac{rev}{d}(\frac{696342 km}{13 km})^{2} = 5.36 \cdot 10^{8} \frac{rev}{d}*\frac{1 d}{24 h}*\frac{1 h}{3600 s}*\frac{2\pi rad}{1 rev} = 3.89 \cdot 10^{4} rad/s$
