Answer:

there are approximately n ≈ 10²² moles

Explanation:

Since the radius of the earth is approximately R=6378 km= 6.378*10⁶ m , then the surface S of the earth would be

S= 4*π*R²

since the water covers 75% of the Earth's surface , the surface covered by water Sw is

Sw=0.75*S

the volume for a surface Sw and a depth D= 3 km = 3000 m ( approximating the volume through a rectangular shape) is

V=Sw*D

the mass of water under a volume V , assuming a density ρ= 1000 kg/m³ is

m=ρ*V

the number of moles n of water ( molecular weight M= 18 g/mole = 1.8*10⁻² kg/mole ) for a mass m is

n = m/M

then

n = m/M = ρ*V/M = ρ*Sw*D/M = 0.75*ρ*S*D/M = 3/4*ρ*4*π*R² *D/M = 3*π*ρ*R² *D/M

n=3*π*ρ*R² *D/M

replacing values

n=3*π*ρ*R² *D/M = 3*π*1000 kg/m³*(6.378*10⁶ m)² *3000 m /(1.8*10⁻² kg/mole) = 3*π*6.378*3/1.8 * 10²⁰ = 100.18 * 10²⁰ ≈ 10²² moles

n ≈ 10²² moles

Elias serves a volleyball at a velocity of 16 m/s. The mass of the volleyball is 0.27 kg. What is the height of the volleyball a
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

2,7 m

Explanation:

You can solve this doing an energy balance:

m*g*h-\frac{1}{2} *m*v^{2} =41,7[J]

Solving this equation to get h:

\frac{41,7- \frac{1}{2} *m*v^{2} }{m*g}=h

Replacing the values and solving brings to 2,7 m

Define symbole and valeny.​
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

Chemical symbol

This is used to identify an element without having to write the full name and as such is a designation for the element. It is used in chemical reactions and is usually either one or two letters. Some symbols are, Iron - Fe, Hydrogen - H and Oxygen - O.

Valency

This refers to the capacity of an element to combine with another to form a compound. It is measured by the number of electrons that an atom of an element gains, looses or shares when a chemical reaction involving it takes place.
