Water has a higher SHC as it would be cooler than the sand meaning it requires more energy to reach the same temperature 
emmainna [20.7K]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The sand has a higher specific heat

Explanation:

The answer is that the sand would have a higher specific heat than water because water requires a lot of heat to raise its temperature while sand needs less heat to change it as water has a high heat capacity that allows it to maintain its temperature within a range.

Radio waves travel at the speed of light which is 3.00 x 10^8. How many minutes does it take for a radio message to reach saturn
ryzh [129]

Answer:

43.89 min

Explanation:

Given that:-

The speed of light = 3.00\times 10^8\ m/s

The distance = 7.9\times 10^8\ km

The conversion of distance in km to distance into m is shown below as:-

1 km = 1000 m

So,

Distance = 7.9\times 10^8\times 1000\ m=7.9\times 10^{11}\ m

The relation between speed distance and time is shown below as:-

Speed=\frac{Distance}{Time}

Thus,

3.00\times 10^8=\frac{7.9\times 10^{11}}{Time}

300000000\times time=10^{11}\times \:7.9\ s

Time = 2633.33 seconds

Also, 1 s = 1/60 min

So,

Time=\frac{2633.33}{60}\ min=43.89\ min

4.2g of sodium bicarbonate is equivalent to how many moles of sodium bicarbonate
Mnenie [13.5K]
<span>The mass of one mole of sodium bicarbonate (aka NaHCO3) is equal to 1 * 22.99g/mol + 1 * 1.00g/mol + 1 * 12.01g/mol + 3 * 16.00g/mol = 83.91g/mol. From this, we can convert 4.2g of NaHCO3 to moles by dividing by 83.91g/mol, to get 0.050 moles of sodium bicarbonate.</span>

A neutral atom with the electron configuration 2-8-6 would most likely form a bond with an atom having the configuration
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

The configuration of the atom would be 2-8-2.

Explanation:

Any atom of an element combines with other element to complete its octet and become stable.

The electron configuration of the given atom is 2-8-6. That means the atom has 6 electrons in its outermost shell. To become stable the atom should have 8 electrons in its outermost shell. The given atom has 6 electrons so it either lose 6 electrons or gain 2 electrons to complete its octet.

But we know the atom having 5,6,7 electrons in its outermost shell they do not lose, they gain either 3 or 2 or 1 electrons to complete its octet.

So we say that atom with the electron configuration 2-8-6 bond with the atom having electron configuration 2-8-2.
