Why don't planets crash into the Sun from the pull of gravity?

1 answer:

4 0

Newton realized that the reason the planets orbit the Sun is related to why objects fall to Earth when we drop them. The Sun's gravity pulls on the planets, just as Earth's gravity pulls down anything that is not held up by some other force and keeps you and me on the ground.

When copper (Cu) and oxygen (O) combine, two different compounds are formed. The first compound contains 88.8% copper by mass, a

marusya05 [52]

1) Chemical reaction 1: 4Cu + O₂ → 2Cu₂O.
n(Cu) = 88,8 ÷ 63,55.
n(Cu) = 1,4.
n(O) = 11,2 ÷ 16.
n(O) = 0,7.
n(Cu) : n(O) = 1,4 : 0,7.
n(Cu) : n(O) = 2 : 1.
Compound is Cu₂O.
2) Chemical reaction 2: 2Cu + O₂ → 2CuO.
n(Cu) = 79,9 ÷ 63,55.
n(Cu) = 1,257.
n(O) = 20,1 ÷ 16.
n(O) = 1,257.
n(Cu) : n(O) = 1,257 : 1,257.
n(Cu) : n(O) = 1 : 1.
Compound is CuO.

The concentration of protein in a urine sample is calculated to be 2.77 μg/mL. What is the concentration of this solution in uni

maxonik [38]

Answer:

The concentration of this solution in units of pounds per gallon is $2.776*10^{-5} \frac{lb}{gal}$

Explanation:

Units of measurement are established models for measuring different quantities. The conversion of units is the transformation of a quantity, expressed in a certain unit of measure, into an equivalent one, which may or may not be of the same system of units.

In this case, the conversion of units is carried out knowing that 1 μg are equal to 2.205*10⁻⁹ Lb and 1 mL equals 0.00022 Gallons. So

$2.77 \frac{ug}{mL} = \frac{2.77 ug}{mL}$

If 1 μg equals 2.205*10⁻⁹ lb, 2.77 μg how many lb equals?

$lb=\frac{2.77ug*2.205*10^{-9}lb }{1ug}$

lb=6.10785*10⁻⁹

So, 2.77 μg= 6.10785*10⁻⁹ lb

Then:

$2.77 \frac{ug}{mL} = \frac{2.77 ug}{mL}=\frac{6.10785*10^{-9}lb }{mL} =\frac{6.10785*10^{-9}lb }{0.00022 gal} =\frac{6.10785*10^{-9}lb }{0.00022 gal}$

You get:

$2.77 \frac{ug}{mL} = 2.776*10^{-5} \frac{lb}{gal}$

The concentration of this solution in units of pounds per gallon is $2.776*10^{-5} \frac{lb}{gal}$

2NO (g) + O2 (g) →2NO2 (g) At equilibrium [NO] = 2.4 × 10 -3 M, [O2] = 1.4 × 10 -4 M, and [NO2] = 0.95 M.

azamat

Answer:

$K=1.12x10^9$

Explanation:

Hello there!

Unfortunately, the question is not given in the question; however, it is possible for us to compute the equilibrium constant as the problem is providing the concentrations at equilibrium. Thus, we first set up the equilibrium expression as products/reactants:

$K=\frac{[NO_2]^2}{[NO]^2[O_2]}$

Then, we plug in the concentrations at equilibrium to obtain the equilibrium constant as follows:

$K=\frac{(0.95)^2}{(0.0024)^2(0.00014)}\\\\K=1.12x10^9$

In addition, we can infer this is a reaction that predominantly tends to the product (NO2) as K>>>>1.

Best regards!
