Answer:

x = 54.15 meters between the balloons horizontally.

Explanation:

Hence, vertical distance between balloons is 12.8 meters.

y= 61-48.2  = 12.2 m

A right-angle triangle is formed with,

angle θ = 13.3 degrees

opposite (y) = 12.8

adjacent (x) = ?

tan\theta = \dfrac{y}{x}

Now by putting the values in the above equation.

tan13^{\circ}=\dfrac{12.8}{x}

x=\dfrac{12.8}{tan13^{\circ}}

x = 54.15 meters between the balloons horizontally.

How many air molecules are in a 13.0×12.0×10.0 ft room (28.2 L=1 ft3)? Assume atmospheric pressure of 1.00 atm, a room temperatu
aksik [14]

Answer:

1963.93 Moles

Explanation:

-We know the standard conversion ratio for the volume of a mole is 1 Mole=22.4L

Given volume of rooms as 13.0ft\times12.0ft\times10ft=1560 ft^3

Convert the volume into liters:1560\times28.2l=43992l

#From our conversion ratio above, we get the volume of air molecules in moles as:

V_m=\frac{43992L}{22.4L}\times 1\ mole\\\\=1963.93\ Moles

Hence, the volume of air molecules is 1963.93 Moles
