A single penny is 1.52 mm thick. The distance to the next nearest star other than our own (Alpha Centauri) is 4.22 light-years.

If it were possible to stack one mole of pennies, how many times would the stack go between the earth and Alpha Centauri? Use the unit factoring method to determine the answer and show your work. You will need to find or look up the appropriate conversion factors to solve the problem. Your answer should be in scientific notation and have the correct number of significant figures in order to get full credit. (Please note that the text editing functions/buttons below for this essay question allows you to show exponents by using the button show as "x2"in the controls. To use it type the number followed by the exponent such as 104, highlight the 4 and hit the x2 button and you will end up with 104 as the result)

Answer:

2.29 × 10⁴ times

Explanation:

A single penny is 1.52 mm thick. The distance covered by 1 mole of pennies (6.02 × 10²³ pennies) is:

6.02 × 10²³ p × (1.52 mm/1 p) = 9.15 × 10²³ mm = 9.15 × 10²³ × 10⁻³ m = 9.15 × 10²⁰ m

The distance to the next nearest star other than our own (Alpha Centauri) is 4.22 light-years. Considering 1 ly = 9.46 × 10¹⁵ m, this distance in meters is:

4.22 ly × (9.46 × 10¹⁵ m/1 ly) = 3.99 × 10¹⁶ m

The times that the stack would go between the earth and Alpha Centauri are:

9.15 × 10²⁰ m / 3.99 × 10¹⁶ m = 2.29 × 10⁴

Which of the following metals (M) will form an ionic compound with nitrogen with the general formula M3N2? Hint: Think about how
Basile [38]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The question is incomplete but i will try to give you all the necessary guide that you need in order to answer the question.

When compounds are formed, atoms exchange valency. The valency of nitrogen is three while that of the metal is two. The exchange yields M3N2.

If the compound has been specifically mentioned to be a metal, then it must be a group two element. It could be any of Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba or Ra. I did not mention Be here because most of its compounds are covalent.

This will help you to answer the complete question.

A fuel cell designed to react grain alcohol with oxygen has the following net reaction:
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

b. E = 2,28V

Explanation:

The maximum work is the same than ΔG. As ΔG could be written as:

ΔG = nFE <em>(1)</em>

Where n is moles of electrons transferred, F is faraday constant (96485 J/Vmol) and E is the voltage of the cell.

For the reaction:

CH₃OH(l) + ³/₂O₂(g) → CO₂(g) + 2H₂O(l)

The oxidation state of C in CH₃OH is -2 but in CO₂ is +4, that means transferred electrons are +4 - -2 = <em>6e⁻</em>

Replacing in (1):

1320x10³ J = 6mol e⁻×96485J/Vmol×E

<em>E = 2,28V</em>

<em></em>

I hope it helps!

NOBLE GASSES) Why’ are they Inert tho
igomit [66]

Answer:

Why?  Because of electron shells.  Technically, they're not fully inert.  They have very low reactivity potential, and can only be forced to become reactive with difficulty.

Explanation:

All chemical reactivity is made possible through the atom's electron arrangement.  Electrons basically have shelves where they live, called "levels" or "shells".  Each level is farther from the nucleus than the previous one.  Atoms are most stable when their outer most shell (called the valence shell) is full.  Atoms with an incomplete shell will react with other atoms, in an attempt to either fill out the outer shell, or to rid itself of it's valence electrons so that that previous level becomes a full valence level.  If the valence shell ils already full, the atom will not be inclined to create compounds.

The first shell can hold up to two electrons.  After the first two electrons, any additional electrons have to begin a new shell.  The second shell can hold eight electrons before it becomes full.  Helium is the first noble gas on the periodic table, having two protons and two electrons.  Because helium's outer most shell is full, it does not react with other atoms.

By comparison, look at hydrogen and oxygen.  Oxygen has eight electrons.  The first two electrons occupy the first shell.  The remaining six go to the second shell.  This leaves the second shell with two empty spaces that can potentially be filled.  Meanwhile, hydrogen has one electron, with it's valence shell having an empty space for one additional electron.  Two hydrogen atoms give up their single electrons to an oxygen atom, so that all three end up with stable valence levels.

By the time an atom can fill out the second electron shell on it's own (10 total electrons) you end up with neon, the second noble gas.
