Answer:

Proxima Centuri is 9 orders of magnitude further from New York compared to Perth

Explanation:

Distance of Proxima Centuri to New York = 4 × 10^16 meters

Distance of Proxima Centuri to Perth = 11000 miles

Since 1 mile = 1609 meters, distance to Perth in meters = 11000 × 1609

Distance to Perth = 17699000 = 1.7699 × 10^7 meters

Order of magnitude of the distances of Proxima Centuri to New York and Perth = 10^16/10^7

Order of magnitude = 10^9

Therefore, Proxima Centuri is 9 orders of magnitude further from New York compared to Perth.

Given a gas whose temperature is 418 K at a pressure of 56.0 kPa. What is the pressure of the gas if its Temperature changes to

Rainbow [258]

Answer: P₂=0.44 atm

Explanation:

For this problem, we are dealing with temperature and pressure. We will need to use Gay-Lussac's Law.

Gay-Lussac's Law: $\frac{P_{1} }{T_{1} } =\frac{P_{2} }{T_{2} }$

First, let's do some conversions. Anytime we deal with the Ideal Gas Law and the different laws, we need to make sure our temperature is in Kelvins. Since T₂ is 64°C, we must change it to K.

64+273K=337K

Now, it may be uncomfortable to use kPa instead of atm, so let's convert kPa to atm.

$56.0kPa*\frac{1000Pa}{1kPa} *\frac{atm}{101325Pa} =0.55atm$

Since our units are in atm and K, we can use Gay-Lussac's Law to find P₂.

$P_{2} =\frac{T_{2} P_{1} }{T_{1} }$

$P_{2}=\frac{(337K)(0.55atm)}{418K}$

P₂=0.44 atm

Hello can anyone help?

e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

A ) 1, 2 and 3

Explanation:

1 ) is correct because,

K donates 1 electron

F gain 1 electron from K.

If donating and gaining of electrons takes place between two electron, then type of compound formed is ionic.

2 ) is correct because,

K + F -----> KF

3 ) is correct because,

KF is soluble in cold water; very soluble in hot water.
