Answer:

  91.7°C

Explanation:

We suppose you have a formula to work from. However, that is not supplied with this problem statement, so we looked one up.

The formula in the attachment is supposed to have good accuracy in the temperature range of interest. It gives vapor pressure of water in kPa, not mmHg, so we needed the conversion for that, too.

560 mmHg corresponds to about 74.66 kPa. The attached "Buck equation" formula is used to find the corresponding temperature. The exponential equation could be solved algebraically using logarithms and the quadratic formula, but we choose to find the solution graphically.

Water boils at about 91.7 °C on Mt. Whitney.

Hydrologers study the availability of fresh water on the planet.
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

Hydrologists study how water interacts with the earth's crust. For example, they may study how rainfall and snowfall cause erosion, create caves, percolate through soil and rock to become groundwater, or eventually reach the sea.Hydrologists strive to improve water quality and increase our access to water so that we can continue to make use of it in all the ways that are necessary to our lives. A hydrologist measures the stream flow in a tributary to the Coeur d'Alene River. layers of gases surrounding a planet or other celestial body

D. The total number of atoms when glucose and oxygen react stays the same when carbon dioxide and water are produced. The conservation of the mass is a fundamental law of chemistry and physics. It indicates not only that during any experiment, including if it involves a chemical transformation, the mass is conserved, but also that the number of elements of each chemical species is conserved. Like any law of conservation it is expressed by a conservation equation.

What is the mass of an element with 15 protons, 13 electrons, and 11 neutrons? *
RSB [31]

Answer:

The mass of the element is 26.20 amu

Explanation:

In this question, we are asked to calculate the mass of an element with 15 protons, 13 electrons and 11 neutrons

To calculate the atomic mass of the element, we take into consideration the masses of the individual sub atomic particles

Electrons have 0 atomic mass unit(their masses are negligible) we have no business here, Protons have a mass of

1.00727647 amu, while the mass of neutron is 1.0086654 amu

The mass of 15 protons is thus 15 * 1.00727647 = 15.10914705 amu

The mass of 11 neutrons is 11 * 1.0086654 =

11.0953194 amu

Adding this together, we have ; 11.0953194 + 15.10914705 = approximately 26.20 amu

How many is the maximum number of electrons for n=4
mihalych1998 [28]
In Chemistry, to better determine the position of a certain electron, quantum numbers are used. The four quantum numbers are n, l, m and s. In the given above of n= 4, the principal quantum number is 4 and this represents the overall relative energy in the orbital. This means that we are to find the maximum number of electrons in fourth main energy level and the answer is 32.
