Why does your finger seem to move? How is this related to the parallax of stars?

Chemistry

sleet_krkn [62]3 years ago

<span>he easiest way to see parallax is to hold out your finger vertically in front of a background object, a door or wall for example. Shut your right eye and note where on the background object the image of your finger appears. Now open your right eye and close the left one without moving your finger. The image of your finger should appear to have jumped to a different spot on the background wall. It is possible to tell how far away your finger is from your eyes just by measuring the distance between your eyes and the distance that the image appeared to move in degrees of arc. </span>

A scientist finds that a sample of matter contains three types of atoms. The sample can be any of the following, except:
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

The correct answer is C. element

Explanation:

The sample cannot be an element because an element - or <em>elemental substance</em> - cannot be decomposed into simpler substances. Thus, it cannot be composed by differents types of atoms. For example, an element is carbon (C).

As the sample contains <u>three types of atoms</u>, it can be a compound, a molecule or a mixture, because they can be composed by different types of atoms - of different chemical elements. For example, the sample could contain the element carbon (C) combined with other elements, for example oxygen (O) or hydrogen (H), amoing others.

A piece of glass is immersed in a liquid. It proceeds to float on the liquid's surface. This shows that the density of the glass
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer: b) Less dense

Explanation:

Differences in density is one reason objects float or sink.

An object more dense than the fluid in which it is immersed will sink, while objects less dense than the fluid in which it is immersed will float to the surface.

But objects floats at constant level if the density is equal to the density of the fluid in which it is immersed; it neither rises nor sinks in the fluid in this case.

explain the relationship between the rate of effusion of a gas and its molar mass. methane gas (ch4) effuses 3.4 times faster th
Musya8 [376]

The molar mass of the unknown gas is 184.96 g/mol

<h3>Graham's law of diffusion </h3>

This states that the rate of diffusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of the molar mass i.e

R ∝ 1/ √M

R₁/R₂ = √(M₂/M₁)

<h3>How to determine the molar mass of the unknown gas </h3>

The following data were obtained from the question:

  • Rate of unknown gas (R₁) = R
  • Rate of CH₄ (R₂) = 3.4R
  • Molar mass of CH₄ (M₂) = 16 g/mol
  • Molar mass of unknown gas (M₁) =?

The molar mass of the unknown gas can be obtained as follow:

R₁/R₂ = √(M₂/M₁)

R / 3.4R = √(16 / M₁)

1 / 3.4 = √(16 / M₁)

Square both side

(1 / 3.4)² = 16 / M₁

Cross multiply

(1 / 3.4)² × M₁ = 16

Divide both side by (1 / 3.4)²

M₁ = 16 / (1 / 3.4)²

M₁ = 184.96 g/mol
