Answer:

When we waste food, we also waste all the energy and water it takes to grow, harvest, transport, and package it. And if food goes to the landfill and rots, it produces methane—a greenhouse gas even more potent than carbon dioxide.

The instruction booklet for your pressure cooker indicates that its highest setting is 11.8 psipsi . You know that standard atmo

zavuch27 [327]

Answer: The temperature at which the food will cook is 219.14°C

Explanation:

To calculate the final temperature of the system, we use the equation given by Gay-Lussac Law. This law states that pressure of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas at constant pressure.

Mathematically,

$\frac{P_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2}{T_2}$

where,

$P_1\text{ and }T_1$ are the initial pressure and temperature of the gas.

$P_2\text{ and }T_2$ are the final pressure and temperature of the gas.

We are given:

$P_1=14.7psi\\T_1=273K\\P_2=(14.7+11.8)psi=26.5psi\\T_2=?$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\frac{14.7psi}{273K}=\frac{26.5psi}{T_2}\\\\T_2=\frac{26.5\times 273}{14.7}=492.14K$

Converting the temperature from kelvins to degree Celsius, by using the conversion factor:

$T(K)=T(^oC)+273$

$492.14=T(^oC)+273\\\\T(^oC)=219.14^oC$

Hence, the temperature at which the food will cook is 219.14°C

sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

The discipline of Earth and space science is concerned with the study of the planets and stars is

A. Astronomy

Explanation:

A.Astronomy:

'Astron' means stars and 'nomos' means laws. So astronomy is the study of stars , planets and space

B. biology

It is derived from Greek word : 'Bios' means life and 'logos' means study.

Biology is study of life, living organism ,structure of organisms,evolution

C.Geology

It is the earth science which includes the study of rocks and solid earth, what it is made of and how it has changed .

The solubility KI is 50 g in 100 g of H2O at 20 °C. if 110 grams of ki are added to 200 grams of H2O ________

Salsk061 [2.6K]

The solubility KI is 50 g in 100 g of H₂O at 20 °C. if 110 grams of ki are added to 200 grams of H₂O the solution will be saturated.

<h3>What is solubility?</h3>

Solubility is a condition where the solute is fully dissolved in the solvent. When fully mixed with the solvent.

Given that 50 g of KI is added to 100 g of water at 20 °C it means 100 g of water can dissolve a maximum of 50 g of KCl.

1 g of water will dissolve an quantity of 0.5 g of KCl.

To assay for 200 g of water: 200 g of water can disintegrate a maximum of (0.5) x 200 g of KCl.

The maximum amount of KCl that will dissolve is 100 g

Actualised amount dissolved = 110 g

when Amount dissolved > Maximum solubility limit

110 g > 100 g

Thus, the solution is saturated.
