Which describes one way that Aristarchus's explanation of the movement of objects in the sky was different from other scientists

' earlier explanations? He discovered Venus’s phases. He argued that Earth rotates on its axis. He explained the concept of retrograde motion. He described the epicycles of the planets in the sky.

Answer:

The correct option is;

He argued that Earth rotates on its axis

Explanation:

The hypothesis that the Sun is at the center of the universe and the Earth, the other planets and other heavenly bodies are revolving around the Sun was first proposed by Aristarchus of Samos who also believed that the motion of the stars where actually due to the rotation of the Earth about its axis

However, the propositions where rejected at the time because it was contrary to perception and senses such that a revolving Earth has to have a moving "great wind" in the air around us

What is the percent by mass of oxygen in carbon dioxide (CO2)?
wariber [46]

Answer:

= 72.73%

Explanation:

The percentage by mass of an element is given by;

% element = total mass of element in compounds/molar mass of compound × 100

The mass of oxygen in carbon dioxide = 32 g

Molar mass of CO2 = 44 g

Therefore;

% of O2 = 32/44 × 100%

             <u>= 72.73%</u>

A 41.1 g sample of solid CO2 (dry ice) is added to a container at a temperature of 100 K with a volume of 3.4 L.A. If the contai
marta [7]

Answer:

Approximately 6.81 × 10⁵ Pa.

Assumption: carbon dioxide behaves like an ideal gas.

Explanation:

Look up the relative atomic mass of carbon and oxygen on a modern periodic table:

  • C: 12.011;
  • O: 15.999.

Calculate the molar mass of carbon dioxide \rm CO_2:

M\!\left(\mathrm{CO_2}\right) = 12.011 + 2\times 15.999 = 44.009\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}.

Find the number of moles of molecules in that 41.1\;\rm g sample of \rm CO_2:

n = \dfrac{m}{M} = \dfrac{41.1}{44.009} \approx 0.933900\; \rm mol.

If carbon dioxide behaves like an ideal gas, it should satisfy the ideal gas equation when it is inside a container:

P \cdot V = n \cdot R \cdot T,

where

  • P is the pressure inside the container.
  • V is the volume of the container.
  • n is the number of moles of particles (molecules, or atoms in case of noble gases) in the gas.
  • R is the ideal gas constant.
  • T is the absolute temperature of the gas.

Rearrange the equation to find an expression for P, the pressure inside the container.

\displaystyle P = \frac{n \cdot R \cdot T}{V}.

Look up the ideal gas constant in the appropriate units.

R = 8.314 \times 10^3\; \rm L \cdot Pa \cdot K^{-1} \cdot mol^{-1}.

Evaluate the expression for P:

\begin{aligned} P &=\rm \frac{0.933900\; mol \times 8.314 \times 10^3 \; L \cdot Pa \cdot K^{-1} \cdot mol^{-1} \times 298\; K}{3.4\; L} \cr &\approx \rm 6.81\times 10^5\; Pa \end{aligned}.

Apply dimensional analysis to verify the unit of pressure.

In 1901, Thomas Edison invented the nickel-iron battery. The follwing reaction takes place in the battery.
lys-0071 [83]

Answer: The number of moles of Fe(OH)_2  produced are, 3.60 moles.

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the limiting and excess reagent.

The balanced chemical equation is:

Fe(s)+2NiO(OH)(s)+2H_2O(l)\rightarrow Fe(OH)_2(s)+2Ni(OH)_2(aq)

From the balanced reaction we conclude that

As, 1 mole of Fe react with 2 mole of NiO(OH)

So, 3.60 moles of Fe react with 3.60\times 2=7.2 moles of NiO(OH)

From this we conclude that, NiO(OH) is an excess reagent because the given moles are greater than the required moles and Fe is a limiting reagent and it limits the formation of product.

Now we have to calculate the moles of Fe(OH)_2

From the reaction, we conclude that

As, 1  mole of Fe react to give 1 mole of Fe(OH)_2

So, 3.60 mole of Fe react to give 3.60 mole of Fe(OH)_2

Therefore, the number of moles of Fe(OH)_2  produced are, 3.60 moles.
