Answer:

Nicholas' speed: 61.9772 miles/hour

current's speed: 6.8864 miles/hour

Explanation:

Let's call Nicholas's speed "x", and the current speed "y".

Going downstream, the total speed is x+y, and we can formulate the equation:

(x+y)*44 = 3030 -> x+y =  68.8636 miles/hour

Going upstream, the total speed is x-y, and we can formulate the equation:

(x-y)*55 = 3030 -> x-y =  55.0909 miles/hour

If we sum both equations, we have that:

2x = 123.9545

x = 61.9772 miles/hour

Now, to know the current speed, we just apply "x" value in one of the equations:

x+y = 68.8636 -> 61.9772 + y = 68.8636 -> y = 6.8864 miles/hour

One mole of magnesium (6 × 1023 atoms) has a mass of 24 grams, as shown in the periodic table on the inside front cover of the t
natka813 [3]

This question involves the concepts of density, volume, and mass.

The approximate diameter of a magnesium atom is "3.55 x 10⁻¹⁰ m".

<h3>STEP 1 (FINDING MASS OF INDIVIDUAL ATOM)</h3>

It is given that:

Mass of one mole = 24 grams

Mass of 6 x 10²³ atoms = 24 grams

Mass of 1 atom = \frac{24\ grams}{6\ x\ 10^{23}\ atoms} = 4 x 10⁻²³ grams

<h3>STEP 2 (FINDING VOLUME OF A SINGLE ATOM)</h3>

\rho = \frac{m}{V}\\\\V=\frac{m}{\rho}

where,

  • \rho = density = 1.7 grams/cm³
  • m = mass of single atom = 4 x 10⁻²³ grams
  • V = volume of single atom = ?

Therefore,

V=\frac{4\ x\ 10^{-23}\ grams}{1.7\ grams/cm^3}

V = 2.35 x 10⁻²³ cm³

<h3>STEP 3 (FINDING DIAMETER OF ATOM)</h3>

The atom is in a spherical shape. Hence, its Volume can be given as follows:

V =\frac{\pi d^3}{6}\\\\d=\sqrt[3]{ \frac{6V}{\pi}}\\\\d=\sqrt[3]{ \frac{6(2.35\ x\ 10^{-23}\ cm^3)}{\pi}}

d = 0.355 x 10⁻⁷ cm = 3.55 x 10⁻¹⁰ m
