Answer:

a. contains salt

Explanation:

97.5% of Earth's water contains salt, and only 2.5% id fresh water. Only 0.3% is in liquid form on the surface. More than half of Earth's water is stored in glaciers.

38.4 mol of krypton is in a rigid box of volume 64 cm^3 and is initially at temperature 512.88°C. The gas then undergoes isobari

kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

Final volumen first process $V_{2} = 98,44 cm^{3}$

Final Pressure second process $P_{3} = 1,317 * 10^{10} Pa$

Explanation:

Using the Ideal Gases Law yoy have for pressure:

$P_{1} = \frac{n_{1} R T_{1} }{V_{1} }$

where:

P is the pressure, in Pa

n is the nuber of moles of gas

R is the universal gas constant: 8,314 J/mol K

T is the temperature in Kelvin

V is the volumen in cubic meters

Given that the amount of material is constant in the process:

$n_{1} = n_{2} = n$

In an isobaric process the pressure is constant so:

$P_{1} = P_{2}$

$\frac{n R T_{1} }{V_{1} } = \frac{n R T_{2} }{V_{2} }$

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

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

Replacing : $T_{1} =786 K, T_{2} =1209 K, V_{1} = 64 cm^{3}$

$V_{2} = 98,44 cm^{3}$

Replacing on the ideal gases formula the pressure at this piont is:

$P_{2} = 3,92 * 10^{9} Pa$

For Temperature the ideal gases formula is:

$T = \frac{P V }{n R }$

For the second process you have that $T_{2} = T_{3}$ So:

$\frac{P_{2} V_{2} }{n R } = \frac{P_{3} V_{3} }{n R }$

$P_{2} V_{2} = P_{3} V_{3}$

$P_{3} = \frac{P_{2} V_{2}}{V_{3}}$

$P_{3} = 1,317 * 10^{10} Pa$

A car speedometer has a 4% uncertainty. What is the range of possible speeds (in km/h) when it reads 110 km/h?

Kruka [31]

4% of 110 is 4.4. So the possible range of speeds is the interval from 110-4.4 till 110+4.4.
105.6 till 114.4

Light travels through a liquid at 2.25e8 m/s. What is the index of refraction of the liquid?

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

The index of refraction of the liquid is n = 1.33 equivalent to that of water

Explanation:

Solution:-

- The index of refraction of light in a medium ( n ) determines the degree of "bending" of light in that medium.

- The index of refraction is material property and proportional to density of the material.

- The denser the material the slower the light will move through associated with considerable diffraction angles.

- The lighter the material the faster the light pass through the material without being diffracted as much.

- So, in the other words index of refraction can be expressed as how fast or slow light passes through a medium.

- The reference of comparison of how fast or slow the light is the value of c = 3.0*10^8 m/s i.e speed of light in vacuum or also assumed to be the case for air.

- so we can mathematically express the index of refraction as a ratio of light speed in the material specified and speed of light.

- The light passes through a liquid with speed v = 2.25*10^8 m/s :

$n = c / v\\\\n = \frac{ 3*10^8 }{2.25*10^8} \\\\n = 1.33$
