Darker colors absorb sunlight more, so it will become hotter. Lighter colored clothes will better reflect sun so they will be less hot.

Hope that helped

Gallium has two naturally occurring isotopes: 69ga with a mass of 68.9256 amu and a natural abundance of 60.11% and 71ga. use th
Nataly [62]

There are two naturally occurring isotopes of gallium:  mass of Ga-69 isotope is 68.9256 amu and its percentage abundance is 60.11%, let the mass of other isotope that is Ga-71 be X, the percentage abundance can be calculated as:

%Ga-71=100-60.11=39.89%

Atomic mass of an element is calculated by taking sum of atomic masses of its isotopes multiplied by their percentage abundance.

Thus, in this case:

Atomic mass= m(Ga-69)×%(Ga-69)+X×%(Ga-71)

From the periodic table, atomic mass of Ga is 69.723 amu.

Putting the values,

69.723 amu=(68.9256 amu)(\frac{60.11}{100})+X(\frac{39.89}{100})

Thus,

69.723 amu=41.4312 amu+X(\frac{39.89}{100})

Rearranging,

X=\frac{69.723 amu-41.4312 amu}{0.3989}=70.9246 amu

Therefore, mass of Ga-71 isotope is 70.9246 amu.

Yasmin's teacher asks her to make a supersaturated saline solution. Her teacher tells her that the solubility of the salt is 360
Aleks [24]

Answer:

She can add 380 g of salt to 1 L of hot water (75 °C) and stir until all the salt dissolves. Then, she can carefully cool the solution to room temperature.  

Explanation:

A supersaturated solution contains more salt than it can normally hold at a given temperature.

A saturated solution at 25 °C contains 360 g of salt per litre, and water at 70 °C can hold more salt.

Yasmin can dissolve 380 g of salt in 1 L of water at 70 °C. Then she can carefully cool the solution to 25 °C, and she will have a supersaturated solution.

B and D are wrong. The most salt that will dissolve at 25 °C is 360 g. She will have a saturated solution.

C is wrong. Only 356 g of salt will dissolve at 5 °C, so that's what Yasmin will have in her solution at 25 °C. She will have a dilute solution.

Completely reacting 150.0 g of a substance with oxygen releases 395.1 J of energy. How much energy would be released if 450.0 g
MrMuchimi
To solve this problem we just need to use the rule of three:
150g..................395.1J
450g................xJ

x = 450*395.1/150 = 1185,3J

450.0 g of the substance completely reacted with oxygen will produce 1.1853 kJ(<span>kiloJoule</span>)

How much heat is required to increase the temperature of 100.0 grams of iron from 15.0oC to 40.2oC? (The specific heat of iron i
Ksenya-84 [330]
Answer is: 1160 J of heat Is required to increase the temperature.
m(Fe) = 100 g.
∆T = 40,2 - 15 = 25,2°C.
C(Fe) = 0,46 J/g•°C.
Q = m(Fe) • C • ∆T.
Q = 100 g • 0,46 J/g•°C • 25,2°C
Q = 1160 J.
C - specific heat.
