The correct method would be multiplying the speed of light by the time it takes to travel from the moon to Earth. This is because:

S=So+V*t

In which:

S= space

So= space at the start (origin)

V=speed or velocity

t=time

By multiplying miles/second by seconds you get miles as a result.

Answer:

Multiply 186,282 by 1.3

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

Speed at which the light travels = 186,282 miles/sec

Time taken for the light to travel from moon to earth = 1.3 sec

<u>To determine:</u>

Distance between earth and moon

<u>Explanation:</u>

Speed of an object is the ratio of the distance traveled by the time taken

Speed = \frac{Distance}{Time} \\\\\\Distance = Speed * Time\\In\ the\ given\ example\\\\Distance = 186,282 miles/sec * 1.3 sec = 242167 miles

Answer:

1) 1.52 atm.

2) 647.85 K.

3) 20.56 L.

4) 1.513 mole.

5) 254.22 K = -18.77 °C.

Explanation:

  • In all this points, we should use the law of ideal gas to solve this problem: PV = nRT.
  • Where, P is the pressure (atm), V is the volume (L), n is the number of moles, R is the general gas constant (0.082 L.atm/mol.K), and T is the temperature (K).

1) In this point; n, R, and T are constants and the variables are P and V.

P and V are inversely proportional to each other that if we have two cases we get: P1V1 = P2V2.

<u><em>In our problem:</em></u>

P1 = ??? <em>(is needed to be calculated) </em>and V1 = 45.0 L.

P2 = 5.7 atm and V2 = 12.0 L.

Then, the original pressure (P1) = P2V2 / V1 = (5.7 atm x 12.0 L) / (45.0 L) = 1.52 atm.


2) In this case, n and R are the constants and the variables are P, V, and T.

P and V are inversely proportional to each other and both of them are directly proportional to the temperature of the gas that if we have two cases we get: P1V1T2 = P2V2T1.

<u><em>In our problem:</em></u>

P1 = 212.0 kPa, V1 = 32.0 L, and T1 = 20.0 °C = (20 °C + 273) = 293 K.

P2 = 300.0 kPa, V2= 50.0 L, and T2 = ??? <em>(is needed to be calculated) </em>

Then, the temperature in the second case (T2) = P2V2T1 / P1V1 = (300.0 kPa x 50.0 L x 293 K) / (212.0 kPa x 32.0 L) = 647.85 K.


3) In this case, P, n and R are the constants and the variables are V, and T.

V and T are directly proportional to each other that if we have two cases we get: V1T2 = V2T1.

<u><em>In our problem:</em></u>

V1 = 25.0 L and T1 = 65.0 °C + 273 = 338 K.

V2 = ??? <em>(is needed to be calculated) </em> and T2 = 5.0 °C + 273 = 278 K.

Herein, there is no necessary to convert T into K.

Then, the volume in the second case (V2) = V1T2 / T1 = (25.0 L x 278 °C) / (338 °C) = 20.56 L.


4) We can get the number of moles that will fill the container from: n = PV/RT.

P = 250.0 kPa, we must convert the unit from kPa to atm; <em><u>101.325 kPa = 1.0 atm</u></em>, then P = (1.0 atm x 250.0 kPa) / (101.325 kPa) = 2.467 atm.

V = 16.0 L.

R = 0.082 L.atm/mol.K.

T = 45 °C + 273 = 318 K.

Now, n = PV/RT = (2.467 atm x 16.0 L) / (0.082 L.atm/mol.K x 318 K) = 1.513 mole.


5) In this case, V, n and R are the constants and the variables are P, and T.

P and T are directly proportional to each other that if we have two cases we get: P1T2 = P2T1.

<u><em>In our problem:</em></u>

P1 = 2200.0 mmHg and T1 = ??? <em>(is needed to be calculated) </em>.

P2 = 2700.0 mmHg and T2 = 39.0 °C + 273 = 312.0 K.

Herein, there is no necessary to convert P into atm.

Then, the temperature in the morning (T1) = P1T2 / P2 = (2200.0 mmHg x 312.0 K) / (2700.0 mmHg) = 254.22 K = -18.77 °C.

State one advantage of using solar energy instead of burning fossil fuels to produce thermal energy for your home
Pachacha [2.7K]
Solar energy will not run out (unless the sun burns out), but the supply of fossil fuels we use is slowly depleting. Burning fossil fuel also releases greenhouse gas into the air, which is bad for the atmosphere.

1 What direction do<br> molecules move in?
notsponge [240]

Answer:

The majority of the molecules move from higher to lower concentration, although there will be some that move from low to high. The overall (or net) movement is thus from high to low concentration.

hope this helps!<3

How much of a 24-gram sample of Radium-226 will remain unchanged at the end of three half-life periods?
shutvik [7]

Answer:

The right answer is "3 g".

Explanation:

Given:

Initial mass substance,

M_0=24 \ g

By using the relation between half lives and amount of substances will be:

⇒ M=\frac{M_0}{2^n}

        =\frac{24}{2^3}

        =3 \ g

Thus, the above is the correct answer.
